“…18 Moreover, Adams et al reported that depressed individuals might have sleep problems and use the technology to pass the time this could be plausible reason for our findings on depression, stress and anxiety. 19 Lemola et al found that electronic media use at night is related to sleep disturbances and depressive symptoms which is similar to findings of present study. 15 The researchers reported that electronic media use at night was associated with depressive symptoms.…”

Objective of the study was to investigate magnitude of smart phone addiction and evaluate the impact of smart phone addiction on their mental health and sleep quality.Methods: A cross‑sectional study was conducted on sample comprising of 587 students of repudiated school. Students were assessed with a specially designed proforma and Smart phone addiction scale (SAS) which was self‑administered by the students. Subjects were classified into smartphone non-user group, a low smartphone user group and a high smartphone user group. Subsequently depression anxiety and stress sub scores (DASS-21) scale were administered to asses associated behaviour problems, investigate sleep quality Pittsburgh sleep quality inventory was administered (PSQI).Results: Out of 587 subjects who completed the questionnaires 12.9% (n=76) were not using smart phones, (n=315) 53.62% were low users and (n=196) 33.3% were high users of Smart phone as estimated by Smart Phone addiction scale. Those who used smart phone excessively had high Global PSQI scores and DASS-21scores in terms of depression, anxiety and stress.Conclusions: With increasing popularity of smart phones, youths spend significant time on smart phone thereby developing addictive tendencies.

“…Furthermore, also Brunborg et al (2011) controlled for depressive symptoms when assessing the relationship between using the mobile phone in the bedroom at night and sleep disturbance in young adults. A formal test of the mediation hypothesis that sleep disturbance may mediate the relationship between electronic media use and depressive symptoms was conducted by two studies (Adams and Kisler 2013;Lemola et al 2011). Results from Adams and Kisler (2013) support the mediation hypothesis in a sample of college students.…”

In contrast, Lemola et al (2011) could not find mediation of the relationship between habitual video game playing at night and depressive symptoms by sleep disturbance in a sample of adolescents and young adults who played the online multiplayer role play game World of Warcraft.…”

Adolescence is a time of increasing vulnerability for poor mental health, including depression. Sleep disturbance is an important risk factor for the development of depression during adolescence. Excessive electronic media use at night is a risk factor for both adolescents' sleep disturbance and depression. To better understand the interplay between sleep, depressive symptoms, and electronic media use at night, this study examined changes in adolescents' electronic media use at night and sleep associated with smartphone ownership. Also examined was whether sleep disturbance mediated the relationship between electronic media use at night and depressive symptoms. 362 adolescents (12-17 year olds, M = 14.8, SD = 1.3; 44.8% female) were included and completed questionnaires assessing sleep disturbance (short sleep duration and sleep difficulties) and depressive symptoms. Further, participants reported on their electronic media use in bed before sleep such as frequency of watching TV or movies, playing video games, talking or text messaging on the mobile phone, and spending time online. Smartphone ownership was related to more electronic media use in bed before sleep, particularly calling/sending messages and spending time online compared to adolescents with a conventional mobile phone. Smartphone ownership was also related to later bedtimes while it was unrelated to sleep disturbance and symptoms of depression. Sleep disturbance partially mediated the relationship between electronic media use in bed before sleep and symptoms of depression. Electronic media use was negatively related with sleep duration and positively with sleep difficulties, which in turn were related to depressive symptoms. Sleep difficulties were the more important mediator than sleep duration. The results of this study suggest that adolescents might benefit from education regarding sleep hygiene and the risks of electronic media use at night.

“…Esto se debe en su mayoría, a que el celular es un recurso que suele estar siempre presente, acvo y a disposición de las personas; por ende, interfiere constantemente en la interacción de la pareja (Jarvenpaa & Lang, 2005). A su vez, varias inves gaciones han encontrado correlaciones posi vas entre un alto uso de la tecnología, los disposi vos electrónicos y la depresión (Adams & Kisler, 2013;Gen le et al, 2011;Pan c et al, 2012). Por estas razones, argumentamos que el phubbing en la pareja tendrá un efecto indirecto en el bienestar psicológico y la salud mental de los individuos, a través de la sa sfacción en la relación de pareja.…”

BY CrossMark click for updates RESUMENEl propósito del estudio fue examinar si el uso frecuente del celular (phubbing) impacta directamente la sa sfacción en las relaciones román cas e indirectamente el bienestar psicológico y la salud mental de los puertorriqueños. El Estudio 1 analiza las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Phubbing en la Pareja y de la Escala de Conflictos Relacionados al Uso del Celular. Los análisis demostraron que las escalas son confiables y válidas. El Estudio 2 evaluó el obje vo principal del estudio con una muestra no probabilís ca de 392 puertorriqueñas seleccionados por disponibilidad. Los resultados confirmaron el rol mediador que ene la sa sfacción en la relación de pareja entre el phubbing, el bienestar psicológico y la salud mental. En general, los par cipantes que reportaron mayor phubbing, mostraban menor sa sfacción en la relación de pareja, mayor sintomatología asociada a depresión, ansiedad y estrés, y menor bienestar psicológico. Nuestro estudio aporta evidencia sobre el efecto nega vo que puede tener el uso desmedido del celular en las relaciones román cas, así como en la salud mental de los individuos.
