“…It could also stimulate the brain’s reward system, leading to increased activity in dopaminergic neurons, which may improve emotional regulation and social cognitive abilities [ 30 ]. Additionally, it may activate neural networks in the prefrontal cortex related to self-understanding and personal cognition [ 31 ]. This study found that playing games is also associated with higher cognitive function.…”

Background Many studies have shown that using smartphones can improve cognitive function, but no studies have shown the effect of the diversity of online activities on cognitive function. Therefore, this study explores the association between the diversity of online activity on smartphones and cognitive function among middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults. Methods A total of 13,347 Chinese middle-aged and elderly participants were used in the final analysis. Multivariate linear regression models were used to explore the relationships among the frequency of smartphone use, number of online activities, various activities, and cognitive function. Results We found that 2,143 respondents (16.1%) used smartphones, and the top three online activities were watching news (80.3%), posting moments (72.4%), and chatting (68.0%) among all smartphone users to access the internet. After adjusting for all covariates, we found that the increase in the frequency of smartphone use and the number of online activities were correlated with a higher cognitive score. Moreover, some online activities, such as watching news (β:0.5, 95% CI:0.2–0.8), posting moments (β:0.4, 95% CI:0.2–0.7) playing games (β:0.3, 95% CI:0.03–0.6) and making mobile payments (β:0.3, 95% CI:0.1–0.5) were independently associated with good cognitive function. Discussion In the middle-aged and elderly population, smartphone use plays an important role in cognitive function. Considering the increasing prevalence of smartphones among middle-aged and elderly individuals, this study can provide references and insights for health education and in-depth scientific research related to internet usage.

Layanan Penguasaan Konten pendekatan Mujahadah melatihkan peserta layanan untuk bersungguh-sungguh memperbaiki kebiasaan yang tidak baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk Menguji perbedaan kondisi kecanduan Smartphone sebelum dan sesudah dilaksanakan layanan penguasaan konten. Metode yang digunakan di dalam peneltian ini yaitu penelitian kuantitatif pendekatan eksperimen dengan desain one group prettest and posttest design untuk mengungkapkan data sebelum ekperimen (01) dan sesudah eksperimen (02). Dalam penelitian ini yang menjadi populasi adalah anak-anak usia 7-12 tahun yang berdomisili di Desa Pelayang Raya. Pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah proposive sampling yang berjumlah 10 orang anak. Instrument yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu skala kecanduan Smartphone. Data hasil penelitian di analisis menggunakan uji wolcoxon. Dari hasil penelitian menunjukkan Perbedaan kondisi kecanduan Smartphone sebelum dan sesudah dilaksanakan layanan penguasaan konten dengan pendekatan mujahadah memberikan pengaruh yang positif dengan berkurangnya kecanduan Smartphone membuat anak mulai fokus dalam menjalankan pendidikan. Implikasinya dalam pelaksanaan layanan Bimbingan Konseling memperkaya gaya pelaksanaan layanan yang identik dengan studi keislaman.

“…Regarding the effects of cognitive function domain on ICT use, a longitudinal study [36] showed that greater use of ICT in older adults was significantly associated with memory performance and executive function for 4 years, and only episodic memory reciprocally predicted ICT use 2 years later. Additionally, a cross-sectional study suggested the association of smartphone use with executive function in socially isolated older adults [37]. Therefore, using ICT as cognitive activity could affect the alleviation of disability onset directly because of maintaining cognitive function in older age with social isolation.…”

Introduction: Delaying the onset of disability is important for maintaining independence and quality of life in community-dwelling older adults. Given that social isolation is a significant risk factor for disability, effective means associated with social isolation are needed to alleviate disability. Although information and communication technology (ICT) may be a reasonable measure considering the recent social contexts due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, further insights are required. This study aimed to investigate whether ICT use could alleviate the onset of disability in community-dwelling older adults with and without social isolation. Methods: This longitudinal cohort study on 4,346 community-dwelling independent Japanese older adults (mean age, 73.5±5.3 years) was conducted between 2017 and 2018. Participants were classified into four groups based on social isolation (the condition where two or more of the following measures were met: domestic isolation, less social contact, and social disengagement) and ICT users (those who had recently used a computer or a smartphone) and followed up to assess disability incidence for 24 months after baseline assessments. Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to identify the effect of social isolation and ICT use on the risk of disability onset by adjusting by age, sex, education history, number of medications, eye disease, level of annual income, mini-mental state examination, geriatric depression scale 15, and gait speed. Results: Most participants belonged to the group of non-social isolation and ICT users (44.7%), followed by non-social isolation and ICT non-users (41.7%), social isolation and ICT non-users (8.2%), and social isolation and ICT users (5.4%). At the follow-up, 2.2%, 5.5%, 2.4%, and 12.4% of the participants in the above order developed disability (p < 0.01). Cox regression models revealed a significantly higher risk of disability onset in the social isolation and ICT non-users group than in the social isolation and ICT users group (HR=2.939; 95% Confidence interval [CI] 1.029-8.397; p=0.044). In the subgroup analysis stratified by social isolation, ICT use significantly reduced the risk of disability onset in the socially isolated group (HR=0.320; 95% CI 0.109-0.943; p=0.039), although the same association was not observed in the non-socially isolated group (HR=0.845; 95% CI 0.565-1.264; p=0.411). Conclusion: ICT use can alleviate the onset of disability in socially isolated older adults in a community setting. Considering ICT-applied methods for alleviation of disability is beneficial for older adults in social isolation.
