“…In opposition to other studies 26,28 , in the present study, the association between neck pain and cell phone use dependence did not have higher percentages in females than in males. A statistical association between cell phone use dependence and mild to moderate disability in daily activity skills was found.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Some authors correlate incorrect head and neck postures during cell phone use with cervical pain. The objective, therefore, is to correlate the constant use of cell phones with discomfort in the cervical region and the repercussion on daily activities in college students. METHODS: Cross-sectional study carried out between July 2019 and March 2020 using the questionnaires "Smartphone Addiction Inventory Instrument", "Neck Disability Index" and "Young Spine Questionnaire", and also a questionnaire about demographic and socioeconomic data. The nutritional status of the participants was also evaluated and the degree of anteriorization of the head was measured in relation to the spinous process of the seventh cervical. RESULTS:The average age of the participants was 18.47±0.65 years. There was a significant statistical association between Smartphone dependence and cervical pain, and adolescents with Smartphone use dependency had the highest percentages of doctor visits for cervical pain. There was no association between smartphone dependence and absence from school or not playing sports due to pain in the spine; nutritional status; the angle of the neck and the father or mother having pain in the spine. Students with smartphone use dependency had the highest percentages of mild to moderate disability in the skills of daily activities. CONCLUSION: Dependence on cell phone use, in this study, is related to cervical pain and disability in the skills of daily activities.

This review enhances the existing literature on relationships between problematic smartphone use (PSU), psychopathology, addictive personality, and online social engagement as regards young adults, giving attention to predictive determinants of addictive behavior in smartphone usage. My article cumulates previous research findings on the psychology of addictive smartphone behavior in terms of problematic use, social anxiety, and depressive stress by focusing on the relationship among mobile social media usage, smartphone addiction risk, mental health issues, and individual well-being. The inspected collected findings prove that depression and social anxiety constitute risk determinants for greater PSU and that particular categories of smartphone applications are positively related to well-being. State anxiety and motivations represent significant predictors of PSU. High PSU affects participation in social engagement. As limitations in the current review, my results point towards relevant avenues of research on social consequences of teenagers’ smartphone problematic use. Future directions should clarify whether compulsive smartphone use adversely affects both mental and physical health in the long run.

“…Students using their smartphones for more than 2 h daily were more likely to have lower back, neck, and shoulder pain [ 17 ]. While texting on a touchscreen smartphone, around half of the participants had neck and shoulder discomfort and weariness [ 18 , 19 ]. Students using smartphones for more than 3 h daily are more likely to have upper back discomfort than those spending less than an hour with them.…”

School-age children increasingly use smartphones to conduct their learning activities; increasing reports of disorders related to smartphone use exist, including visual-related symptoms, stress, and musculoskeletal pain. This study aimed to examine risk factors for musculoskeletal pain among primary school students using smartphones. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 233 school-aged children in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. Data collection used a questionnaire for musculoskeletal symptoms using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire with ISO 11,226:2000. Through Chi-square, t-test, and logistic regression analysis, factors independently associated with musculoskeletal pain were determined. An important factor in the development of musculoskeletal pain was the prolonged use of smartphones for longer than 60 min, particularly among children aged 6–9 years old. In regards to musculoskeletal pain, almost 53% of the students used their smartphones while lying down. Posing in a prone position while using a smartphone was 7.37 times more dangerous than sitting. The laying position tilts numerous organs at varying angles, especially the upper arm. The risk of musculoskeletal complaints must be reduced by educating parents, children, and the relevant government organizations about safe smartphone usage. The mentioned factors may be used to anticipate the onset of musculoskeletal pain caused by smartphone use in young children.
