“…Also, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies in medical students that links smartphone addiction, psychological distress, and neurotic traits. Medical students use smartphones to facilitate retrieving information resources [ 32 – 34 ]. There is almost universal ownership of smartphones among medical students [ 35 ].…”

Background Smartphone plays a vital role in higher education as it serves as a device with multiple functions. Smartphone addiction was reported on the rise among college and university students. The addiction may result in unwanted consequences on their academic performance and psychological health. One factor that consistently relates to psychological distress and smartphone addiction is the neurotic personality trait. This study explored the relationship of smartphone addiction with psychological health and neuroticism among USM medical students. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out on medical students in a public medical school. DASS-21, the neuroticism-subscale of USMaP-i and SAS-SV were administered to measure psychological distress, neuroticism, and smartphone addiction of the medical students. Spearman correlation was performed to examine the correlation between smartphone addiction with psychological distress and neuroticism. Simple linear regression was performed to investigate relationship factors of smartphone addiction. Results A total of 574 medical students participated in this study. The prevalence of smartphone addiction was 40.6%. It was higher among male (49.2%) compared to female (36.6%) medical students. The result showed a fair positive correlation between smartphone addiction and psychological health (rdepression = 0.277, p-value < 0.001; ranxiety = 0.312, p-value < 0.001; rstress = 0.329, p-value < 0.001). However, there was a poor positive correlation between smartphone addiction and neuroticism (r = 0.173, p-value < 0.001). The simple linear regression showed a significant increase in the levels of depression, anxiety, stress and neuroticism upon one unit increase in smartphone addiction (bdepression = 0.101, p-value < 0.001; banxiety = 0.120, p-value < 0.001; bstress = 0.132, p-value < 0.001; bneuroticism = 0.404, p-value < 0.05). These results indicated significant relationships between smartphone addiction, psychological health and neuroticism. Conclusion This study suggested a high prevalence of smartphone addiction among medical students, particularly in male medical students. The smartphone addiction might lead to psychological problems and the most vulnerable group is the medical student with the neurotic personality trait.

“…These devices can provide learners with easy access to a wide variety of educational resources to support learning in the clinical environment. Mobile devices are used by medical students to facilitate access to a wide range of resources including anatomy, drug information, clinical scoring systems and eBooks (Electronic Books) [ 4 – 6 ] with higher levels of use of devices by students in the clinical years [ 7 ]. However, for mLearning to be successfully integrated into medical education strategies and practices, institutions, clinicians and students must understand their potential, impacts and limitations.…”

Mobile learning in medicine: an evaluation of attitudes and behaviours of medical students

BackgroundMobile learning (mLearning) devices (such as tablets and smartphones) are increasingly part of the clinical environment but there is a limited and somewhat conflicting literature regarding the impact of such devices in the clinical learning environment. This study aims to: assess the impact of mLearning devices in the clinical learning environment on medical students’ studying habits, attitudes towards mobile device supported learning; and the perceived reaction of clinicians and patients to the use of these devices as part of learning in the clinical setting.MethodsOver three consecutive academic years, 18 cohorts of medical students (total n = 275) on a six-week rotation at a large teaching hospital in London were supplied with mLearning devices (iPad mini) to support their placement-based learning. Feedback on their experiences and perceptions was collected via pre- and post-use questionnaires.ResultsThe results suggest mLearning devices have a positive effect on the students’ perceived efficiency of working, while experience of usage not only confirmed pre-existing positive opinions about devices but also disputed some expected limitations associated with mLearning devices in the clinical workplace. Students were more likely to use devices in ‘down-time’ than as part of their clinical learning. As anticipated, both by users and from the literature, universal internet access was a major limitation to device use. The results were inconclusive about the student preference for device provision versus supporting a pre-owned device.ConclusionM-learning devices can have a positive impact on the learning experiences medical students during their clinical attachments. The results supported the feasibility of providing mLearning devices to support learning in the clinical environment. However, universal internet is a fundamental limitation to optimal device utilisation.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12909-018-1264-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Information and communication technology has proved to be a critical component of teaching and Therefore, in view of the technological scenario that we are experiencing, mobile devices are seen as a great strategy to contribute to health education (Farias et al, 2015;Khatoon, Hill, & Walmsley, 2015). Moreover, the articles that discussed the use of applications in relation to Patient Orientation concluded that the applications represent an important vehicle for information access (Pulijala et al, 2016) for selfcare in oral health (Petruzzi & Benedittis, 2016;Li et al, 2016, Zotti et al, 2016. Thus, the use of applications can contribute to an upstream approach to oral health promotion, that is, it could minimize inequalities, facilitate access to information relevant to health and the creation of favorable environments for it.…”

Objective: To review the literature about dental applications (DAPP) for smartphones (SP) and search/describe DAPP available in Portuguese, in 3 operating systems. Methods: Aiming the review, the terms "smartphones", "app" and "dentistry" were searched in the databases Pubmed, Virtual Health Library (BVS) and Google Scholar. Based on the review results, DAPP were searched for teaching and learning (TL), clinical practice (CP), patient orientation (PO) and professional update (PU), in Portuguese, in the Android, iOS and Windows systems. In 3 SP (iPhone 5S with iOS 9.3.5; Samsung Galaxy A5 6 2016 with Android; Microsoft-RM-1109 with Windows Phone 8.1 Update2) the term "dentistry" was inserted in APP searches. Results: Forty-three papers were included in the review and 215 DAPP were selected: 120 on Android, 90 on iOS, and 5 on Windows. DAPP were classified according to the focus in: CP (n = 99
