Abstract

Objective: Sleep disturbances among college students have become a significant issue affecting their daily lives. This study aims to explore the relationship between smartphone dependence and sleep quality and examine the mediating roles of negative emotions and health-promoting behaviors.

Methods: A total of 23,652 college students were included in the study, and 21,314 valid questionnaires were collected. The survey assessed demographic factors, smartphone dependence, sleep quality, negative emotions, and health-promoting behaviors. A chain mediation analysis was conducted to examine the relationships among these factors.

Results: Smartphone dependence was significantly positively correlated with sleep quality (r = 0.272, p < 0.001) and negative emotions (r = 0.414, p < 0.001), and significantly negatively correlated with health-promoting behaviors (r = -0.178, p < 0.001). Sleep quality was positively correlated with negative emotions (r = 0.472, p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with health-promoting behaviors (r = -0.218, p < 0.001).Smartphone dependence was a significant positive predictor of sleep quality. Moreover, negative emotions and health-promoting behaviors influenced the relationship between smartphone dependence and sleep quality. The total effect, direct effect, and indirect effect values were 0.304, 0.122, and 0.170, respectively.

Conclusion: Different demographic factors (such as gender and place of residence) can lead to variations in different variables. Smartphone dependence and negative emotions have a positive impact on sleep quality among college students, while health-promoting behaviors have a negative impact. Smartphone dependence directly and positively affects sleep quality and can also influence it indirectly through the mediating effects of negative emotions and health-promoting behaviors, both individually and in a chain-like manner.

智能手机依赖对大学生睡眠质量的影响：负面情绪和健康促进行为的连锁中介作用。

目的大学生睡眠障碍已成为影响其日常生活的一个重要问题。本研究旨在探讨智能手机依赖与睡眠质量之间的关系，并研究负面情绪和健康促进行为的中介作用：研究共纳入 23,652 名大学生，收集了 21,314 份有效问卷。调查评估了人口统计学因素、智能手机依赖性、睡眠质量、负面情绪和健康促进行为。研究人员对这些因素之间的关系进行了链式中介分析：智能手机依赖性与睡眠质量呈明显正相关（r = 0.272，p r = 0.414，p r = -0.178，p r = 0.472，p r = -0.218，p 结论：智能手机依赖性与睡眠质量呈明显正相关（r = 0.272，p r = 0.414，p r = -0.178，p r = 0.472，p r = -0.218）：不同的人口因素（如性别和居住地）会导致不同变量的变化。智能手机依赖和负面情绪对大学生的睡眠质量有积极影响，而促进健康的行为则有消极影响。对智能手机的依赖会直接对睡眠质量产生积极影响，同时也会通过负面情绪和促进健康行为的中介效应对睡眠质量产生间接影响，这种影响既可以是单独的，也可以是连锁的。
