“…This coping inventory determined that university students most frequently used music, in-person communication with friends and family, and smartphone use to cope with stress. By being able to escape from their stressors, they were able to cope with them more effectively in short-term situations (Li et al 2016b). Our results show that university students are attempting to use smartphones to combat stress, which could be contributing to smartphone dependency.…”

Although research into the effects of stress on university students is plentiful, research on the association between technology and stress is not. The increasing access to smartphones raises concerns about their impact on university students' abilities to deal with stress. The present study aims to understand stress in university students as well as the impact that smartphones have on coping with stress. Emotion-focused coping, avoidance-focused coping, and problem-focused coping were examined to better understand stress in this sample. A total of 250 university students completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Test of Mobile Phone Dependence (TMD). The Brief COPE was used to measure emotion-and problem-focused coping and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-2 (AAQ-II) was used to measure avoidance coping. Students who were highly stressed were also more dependent on their smartphones. Smartphone use to cope was also associated with smartphone dependency, and smartphone dependency was highly associated with avoidance and emotion-focused coping. It was also found that students reported being almost as likely to use music and talking with friends and family to cope with stress, as they are to use their smartphone to cope with said stress. This study illustrates that smartphones may be both helpful and harmful to a university student's ability to combat stress but that it may depend on the student's coping methods and the extent of their usage. Future research is needed to examine individuals' smartphone usage in order to understand whether specific applications may have an effect on coping methods and stress levels.

Recent advances in sensor and communications technology have enabled scalable methods for providing continuity of care to the home for patients with chronic conditions and older adults wanting to age in place. In this article we describe our framework for a health coaching platform with a dynamic user model that enables tailored health coaching messages. We have shown that this can improve coach efficiency without a loss of message quality. We also discovered many lessons for coaching technology, most demonstrating the need for more coach input on sample message content, perhaps even requiring that individual coaches be able to modify the message database directly. Overall, coaches felt that the structure of the automated message generation was useful in remembering what to say, easy to edit if necessary and especially helpful for training new health coaches.
