“…One cross-sectional study showed that college students with IA have significantly higher levels of physical fatigue than college students without IA (Bachleda and Darhiri, 2018). Another study reported that IA was positively associated with musculoskeletal pain in adolescents (Tülay and Ejder, 2018). However, in those studies, many confounding factors were not considered and the results have not suggested a significant relationship between IA and musculoskeletal pain.…”

BackgroundIt is well established that increased internet use is related to an increased risk of musculoskeletal pain among adolescents. The relationship between internet addiction (IA), a unique condition involving severe internet overuse, and musculoskeletal pain has, however, not been reported. This study aimed to investigate the association between IA and the risk of musculoskeletal pain among Chinese college students.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 4211 Chinese college freshmen. IA status was evaluated using the 20-item Young’s Internet Addiction Test (IAT). IA was defined as internet addiction score ≥50 points. Musculoskeletal pain was assessed using a self-reported questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine association between IA categories (normal, mild, and moderate-to-severe) and musculoskeletal pain.ResultsAmong all participants; neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, and low back and waist pain was reported by 29.2, 33.9, 3.8, 7.9, and 27.9%, respectively. The prevalence of IA was 17.4%. After adjusting for potential confounders, the results showed significant differences in the risk of musculoskeletal pain among different IA categories. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for neck pain with IA categories were 1.000 (reference), 1.451 (1.221, 1.725), and 1.994 (1.608, 2.473), respectively (P for trends: < 0.001). For shoulder pain, these were 1.000 (reference), 1.520 (1.287, 1.795), and 2.057 (1.664, 2.542), respectively (P for trends: < 0.001). For elbow pain, ORs (95% CIs) were 1.000 (reference), 1.627 (1.016, 2.605), and 2.341 (1.382, 3.968), respectively (P for trends: 0.001). Those for wrist/hand pain were 1.000 (reference), 1.508 (1.104, 2.060), and 2.236 (1.561, 3.202), respectively (P for trends: < 0.001). For low back and waist pain with severe IA categories, these were 1.000 (reference), 1.635 (1.368, 1.955), and 2.261 (1.813, 2.819), respectively (P for trends: < 0.001).ConclusionThis cross-sectional study showed that severe IA was associated with a higher risk of musculoskeletal pain in Chinese college freshmen. In future research, it will be necessary to explore causality regarding this relationship using interventional studies.

“…The most frequently used online media networks among students were found to be personal communication sites (Chang et al, 2019). On a daily basis, students are drawn to various online platforms (Koca & Berk, 2019). They spend more time on Facebook, Twitter, and other web-based media via personal digital assistants (PDAs), which currently abound among these young people (Koca & Berk, 2019).…”

The study examined the effect of social media (SM) on the academic performance (AP) of senior secondary school (SSS) students in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Four objectives served as the study’s guiding principles, and these were followed by research questions and hypotheses. A descriptive survey research design was used for the investigation. Using a simple random sampling technique, 200 students were selected as a sample from four SSSs in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. A four-point Likert scale survey was used to poll the participants. The study questions were analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequency counts and percentages, whereas the null hypotheses were tested using chi-square, t-test, and Pearson product-moment correlation. Findings revealed that a large percentage of students are addicted to SM, with no significant differences in usage between boys and girls. It was also found that there is a link between SM addiction and a student's AP. In order to prevent students from falling behind academically, it is suggested that SM be used for educational purposes, that social networking sites (SNSs) be launched with new pages developed to effect academic activities, and that teachers and parents monitor students’ use of these sites. This is recommended in an effort to balance students’ SM usage and their academic goals. The study will aid students in learning more about the impact of SM and networking sites on their AP. It will also provide students with useful information for research and studies, as well as objective perspectives and a sense of balance. Significantly, the study will assist parents in becoming more aware of the potential influence and effect of SM on their children.

“…İnternet kullanım oranlarında yaşanan artışlar internetin bilinçsiz, kontrolsüz ve aşırı kullanımını ifade eden bir sorun olan problemli internet kullanım riskini arttırabilmektedir (10,40,41). Araştırmalar, internet kullanım süresinin ve problemli internet kullanımının boyun, sırt, göz ve el bilekleri gibi çeşitli alanlarda ağrı yaşama ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir (42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47). Çünkü problemli internet kullanımı bireylerin internet ile aşırı ve kontrolsüz bir şekilde zaman geçirmesini ifade etmektedir.…”

Objective: The aim of this research is to examine the role of sex with physical activity and problematic internet use as predictors of pain levels caused by individuals ' use of technology during the covid-19 pandemic. Method: The research was carried out by relational screening method. The participants of the study are 296 adult individuals over the age of 18 living in Turkey, 198 of whom are female (66.9%) and 98 of whom are male (33.1%), who use the internet actively. In the study, "Problematic Internet Use Scale-Short Form-6", "International Physical Activity Questionnaire -Short Form" and "Personal Information Form" were used. Results: A negatively significant association was found between pain levels and physical activity levels caused by individuals ' use of technology during the COVID-19 pandemic, while a positively significant association was found between problematic internet usage levels. In addition, gender, physical activity, and problematic internet use variables were found to together explain 18.3% of the total variance in pain caused by technology use. Conclusion: During the pandemic period, physical activity, problematic internet use and gender factors were found to have an important place in the level of pain caused by individuals ' use of technology.
