“…Similar to our study, in the study conducted by Kırca and Kutlutürkan, it was found that the mean SAS‐SF scores of Turkish NSs were at moderate levels (30.43 ± 11.08). In contrast to the findings in our study, there are studies in the literature reporting that the level of SA is lower in NSs 4,9,38,39 . It is thought that this difference is due to the use of different scales to measure SA and to the sample size or individual characteristics in the population.…”

“…Establishing effective communication with the patient is very important to understand patients, build mutual trust, and increase patient satisfaction and quality of care. Therefore, these findings emphasize the importance of providing support and advice services to NSs from the beginning of their education to aid their efforts to adapt socially, with particular consideration on their future professional roles 17,39 . Encouraging students to talk about their feelings of loneliness and the causes of these and providing them with psychological support is also important.…”

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the correlation between smartphone addiction and loneliness levels in nursing students. Design and Methods: The study has a descriptive and cross-sectional study design and was carried out with 682 nursing students. In the study, a "Student Information Form", the "Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form", and the "University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale" were used. Findings: The study found that nursing students had moderate scores for smartphone addiction and lonelinessand that there was a positive correlation between smartphone addiction and loneliness. Practical Implications: Nursing students are at risk of smartphone addiction and this may lead to negative psychosocial effects. Considering these results, interventions should be planned.

“…Smartphone addiction is defined as an “uncontrolled and excessive use of the phone at a level that will affect the daily lives of users” [8,9], possibly leading to a range of negative consequences on daily life. Such effects include physical and psychological problems, such as disorders related to the musculoskeletal system, pain, impairment in daily routines, sleep disorders, decreased physical activity, stress, deprivation, decreased academic performance, and changes in family and social relationships, including loneliness, as well as in communication abilities [10,11,12,13]. A growing number of studies, mainly conducted on young individuals and students in particular, confirm the negative impact of excessive smartphone use on psychological wellbeing [14,15], with evidence also concerning aggression, worry and anger in subjects with problematic smartphone use [16].…”

An Innovative, Unobtrusive Approach to Investigate Smartphone Interaction in Nonaddicted Subjects Based on Wearable Sensors: A Pilot Study

et al. 2019

Background and objectives: Smartphones are playing a pivotal role in everyday life, due to the opportunity they grant in terms of simplifying communication, entertainment, education and many other daily activities. Against such positive characteristics, smartphone interaction can result, in particular cases, in dangerous smartphone addiction patterns, possibly leading to several long-term detrimental psychophysiological conditions. Therefore, this pilot aims at assessing the feasibility of using an innovative approach, based on unobtrusive wearable sensors, used for the first time in this specific topic, and psychological questionnaires, to investigate the links between stress and emotions in a group of young, nonaddicted individuals performing smartphone interaction. Materials and methods: 17 volunteers were enrolled for the present study. The study protocol was divided into three phases, with an initial resting state (baseline) of three minutes, a smartphone interaction session (task) of the same length, and a final resting state (recovery), lasting three minutes. In the overall procedure, electrocardiogram (ECG) and galvanic skin response (GSR) measurements, both monitored by wearable sensors, were acquired in order to assess the functioning of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Results: A significant decrease was seen in pNN50 during the smartphone interaction with respect to the baseline (Z = −2.675, p = 0.007), whereas the Low-to-High Frequency (LF/HF) ratio at task was somewhat correlated with phubbing behaviors (r = 0.655, p = 0.029), assessed through dedicated questionnaires. Conclusions: Taken together with the slight changes in GSR data, such results suggest the feasibility of this approach to characterize the ANS activation during smartphone interaction among young individuals. Further studies should enlarge the study population and involve smartphone-addicted subjects in order to increase the scientific and clinical relevance of such findings.

Aim To explore the levels of mobile phone addiction and burnout and their relationships among novice nurses. Design A cross‐sectional investigation design. Methods Questionnaires were distributed to 400 novice nurses in five public hospitals in China. A total of 366 participants completed the survey. Data collected in 2020 were analysed by using descriptive statistics, an independent t test and Pearson's correlation analysis. Results The results showed that the frequency of nursing adverse events was associated with higher level of mobile phone addiction in novice nurses, and 52.46% of the participants ( N = 366) presented a high level of occupational burnout. Moreover, the results indicated that there was a positive correlation between the novice nurses’ mobile phone addiction level and burnout ( r = .33, p < .01). Conclusion The level of mobile phone addiction may affect nursing adverse events and nurses’ burnout. Education on novice nurses’ mobile phone use seems necessary to ensure patient safety and burnout prevention. Impact Findings of this study expanded important knowledge about mobile phone addiction and its potential influence on nursing safety and nurse burnout and may place significant implications to staff nurse management and in‐service education.
