“…There is no significant differences between male and female in smartphone addiction,  2 (1, 280) = .039, p=.844 (Table 3). This is similar to the results obtained in some previous investigations (Kwon et al, 2013;Thapa et al, 2020;Bhanderi, Pandey & Sharma, 2021;Ghogare et al, 2021). However, some studies have reported that female participants have a higher prevalence of smartphone addiction than males (Chen et al, 2017) and other studies reported higher in males (Karki et al, 2020).…”

“…Several studies have been conducted in many countries throughout the world including Thailand, China, Korea, Turkey, Poland, Spain, Italy, Australia and India that have estimated the prevalence of smartphone addiction ranged between 5.57% to 39.6% (Gupta et al, 2013). The mean score of smartphone addiction was found 34.67±9.29 in this study which is lower than the study conducted by Thapa, Lama, Pokharel, Sigdel & Rimal (2020) and higher than studies undertaken by Karki et al (2020) and Ghogare et al (2021). These inconsistencies could have been due to the different instruments and classification methods used by different participants in the different studies and different time of period.…”

“…Nearly half participants 48.93% (n=137) were found smartphone addicted (See Table 1). This study resulted little higher than the study by Ghogare et al (2021) (45.1%) among undergraduate health science students during lockdown in India. The similarity in the smartphone addiction between this study and Ghogare et al's study could have been mainly because of similar socio-economic and lockdown conditions in Nepal and India respectively.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown has encouraged students to use their smartphones in online classes and stay connected increasingly. Youths are using smartphone in COVID-19 pandemic more often than before. The present study aims to find prevalence of smartphone addiction during COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on BBA students' online learning in Kathmandu district. The questionnaire with Smartphone Addiction Scale- Short Version (SAS-SV) and smartphone using pattern was circulated through emails to collect data from four hundred students of 8 different BBA colleges in Kathmandu district using a convenience sampling method. After omitting incomplete data and exclusion criteria, overall 280 responses including 123 males and 157 females were recorded at a response rate of 70%. The result found the mean score of smartphone addiction of 34.67±9.29. Nearly half participants 48.93% (n=137) were found smartphone addicted. The study further revealed that gender was not associated with smartphone addiction but the time spent on smartphone in a day and age group was significantly associated with smartphone addiction. This study found that smartphone use is a contributing element to the success of online learning during COVID-19 pandemic. These results suggest the need to develop educational programme to educate the students to use smartphone effectively.

Purpose The duties related to COVID-19 control and prevention may have caused psychological stress for the individuals in charge (eg, frontline government workers) and have reportedly led to mental health issues, such as insomnia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the prevalence of these COVID-19-related disorders and their associated factors remain unclear. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the prevalence rates of insomnia, PTSD, COVID-19-related self-stigma, and smartphone addiction, along with the identification of risk factors and protective factors for Taiwan frontline government workers with COVID-19 pandemic control duties. Methods The survey was carried out with 151 participants between September and October 2021. All participants completed the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (assessing fear of COVID-19), Self-Stigma Scale (assessing self-stigma during the COVID-19 pandemic), Smartphone Application-Based Addiction Scale (assessing the risk of smartphone addiction), Insomnia Severity Index (assessing insomnia), Impacts of Event Scale-6 (assessing PTSD), and a self-designed set of questions assessing trait resilience. Results The results showed that the prevalence rate was 31.1% for insomnia and 33.8% for PTSD. Furthermore, service duration (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.93; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.86, 0.999) and trait resilience (AOR = 0.19; 95% CI = 0.08, 0.46) were protective factors and fear of COVID-19 (AOR = 1.91; 95% CI = 1.02, 3.57) was a risk factor for insomnia. Fear of COVID-19 (AOR = 2.63; 95% CI = 1.35, 5.14), self-stigma (AOR = 3.62; 95% CI = 1.19, 11.02), and smartphone addiction (AOR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.001, 1.19) were risk factors, and trait resilience was a protective factor (AOR = 0.58; 95% CI = 0.29, 1.17) for PTSD. Conclusion The findings demonstrated a high prevalence of insomnia and PTSD. Risk-reducing strategies and protective factor promotion strategies are recommended to help reduce the symptoms of insomnia and PTSD among Taiwan frontline government workers.
