BACKGROUND: The use of smartphones is increasing in the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic for various purposes, this encourages smartphone addiction. In addition, the incidence of insomnia has also increased in the pandemic era. AIM: This study was conducted to find an association between smartphone addiction and the incidence of insomnia, especially among students of the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University. METHOD: This research is a descriptive-analytic study with the cross-sectional method, using two main questionnaires, Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, and Insomnia Severity Index. Questionnaires were distributed using Google forms and then collected and analyzed using software SPSS version 25. RESULT: Overall the total research respondents with the inclusion criteria in this study amounted to 364 people. The results showed that 212 respondents (58.24%) had a high level of smartphone addiction and 152 respondents (41.76%) had a low level of smartphone addiction. In addition, 187 respondents (51.37%) experienced mild insomnia, 87 respondents (23.9%) experienced moderate insomnia, 13 respondents (3.57%) experienced severe insomnia, and 77 respondents (21.15%) did not experience insomnia. Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that smartphone addiction had a significant relationship (p = 0.002) with weak and positive correlation (r = 0.162) to the incidence of insomnia. CONCLUSION: It was found that the majority of respondents experienced high levels of smartphone addiction and mild insomnia. Another finding suggests the higher addiction to the smartphones, the more severe insomnia suffered.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affects various aspects of everyone's life. One of the impacts of the pandemic is psychological disorders, such as decreased sleep quality and anxiety. Until now, there has been no research to assess the relationship between these two conditions in university students during the pandemic era. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the relationship between decreased sleep quality and anxiety disorders in Indonesia’s university students during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted from September to October 2021 on 376 university students, both domiciled in Bali and outside Bali. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of participant demographic data, sleep quality assessment using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and measurement of anxiety levels using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Bivariate analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation test.Result: 294 of the 376 participants had high PSQI scores (>5) and experienced sleep disturbances. Meanwhile, 44 participants reported experiencing anxiety disorders, with detail of 41 participants having SAS scores in the low category and 3 participants having SAS scores in the moderate category. The relationship between the PSQI and SAS variables showed a correlation coefficient of 0.619 and was statistically significant.Conclusion : Decreased sleep quality is positively correlated with anxiety disorders experienced by university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The author suggests research with larger parameters and population size to get more accurate results.
