“…They will find some way to reduce this gap or escape from reality [ 27 ]. Since the characteristics of mobile phones are just in line with their needs, they will spend a lot of time on mobile phones [ 28 ]. It is difficult to control oneself, and the withdrawal reaction may occur after being isolated from the mobile phone for a period of time, so the dependence on the mobile phone is high in high school students [ 29 ].…”

Background Mobile phone dependence is a common problem in the population of high school students. We aimed to evaluate the core self-evaluation, mental health and mobile phone dependence in Chinese high school students, to provide reliable evidence to the support of high school students. Methods We conducted a survey of high school students in Xiamen, China. The self-assessment questionnaire on mobile phone use dependence among teenagers (SQAPMPU), Mental Health Scale for Middle School Students (MSSMHS) and Core self-evaluation scale were used to evaluate the mobile phone dependence, mental health and core self-evaluation. t-tests, Pearson correlation and multiple linear stepwise regression analyses were conducted to analyze the potential relationships. Results A total of 1692 students were enrolled. The total score of mobile phone dependence of students in grades 10–12 was higher than that of students in grades 7–9. A total of 329 students in grades 7–9 and 371 students in grades 10–12 had abnormal mental status. The detection rate of psychological abnormalities among students in grades 10–12 was higher than that of students in grades 10–12. Core self-evaluation had significantly negative correlation with various factors of mental health (P < 0.01). The worse the mental health, the higher the degree of mobile phone dependence, core self-evaluation played a mediating role between mental health and mobile phone dependence (8.03%). Conclusions Core self-evaluation is an important factor affecting the mental health of high school students and mobile phone dependence. Educators should strengthen core self-evaluation of high school students to improve the mental health and reduce the mobile phone dependence.

“…Apart from other internet use activities, students also use the internet often to obtain resources necessary to support their education. However, excessive internet use causes distraction and evokes several problems—poor sleep quality, low self-esteem, social distress, low perceived social support, and poor communication skills [ 63 ]. Systematic meta-analyses show that IA is more common among students than adults working in the same field of study, e.g., medical and nursing students vs. health care professionals [ 63 , 64 ].…”

Internet addiction (IA) is widespread, comorbid with other conditions, and commonly undetected, which may impede recovery. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT) is widely used to evaluate IA among healthy respondents, with less agreement on its dimensional structure. This study investigated the factor structure, invariance, predictive validity, criterion validity, and reliability of the IAT among Spanish women with eating disorders (EDs, N = 123), Chinese school children (N = 1072), and Malay/Chinese university students (N = 1119). In school children, four factors with eigen values > 1 explained 50.2% of the variance, with several items cross-loading on more than two factors and three items failing to load on any factor. Among 19 tested models, CFA revealed excellent fit of a unidimensional six-item IAT among ED women and university students (χ2(7) = 8.695, 35.038; p = 0.275, 0.001; CFI = 0.998, 981; TLI = 0.996, 0.960; RMSEA = 0.045, 0.060; SRMR = 0.0096, 0.0241). It was perfectly invariant across genders, academic grades, majors, internet use activities, nationalities (Malay vs. Chinese), and Malay/Chinese female university students vs. Spanish women with anorexia nervosa, albeit it was variant at the scalar level in tests involving other EDs, signifying increased tendency for IA in pathological overeating. The six-item IAT correlated with the effects of internet use on academic performance at a greater level than the original IAT (r = −0.106, p < 0.01 vs. r = −0.78, p < 0.05), indicating superior criterion validity. The six-item IAT is a robust and brief measure of IA in healthy and diseased individuals from different cultures.

“…De‐Sola Gutiérrez et al 8 highlighted the major manifestations of cell phone addiction as problematic and conscious use in dangerous situations or when use is prohibited; continuing behavior despite the negative effects; difficulty controlling excessive use; tolerance; social and family conflicts and confrontations; and irritability and anxiety if the cell phone is not accessible. Excessive use of the cell phone may have detrimental effects on an individual's physical and mental health, such as anxiety, loneliness, depression, insomnia, and somatization disorders 9‐13 . Moreover, several studies have demonstrated that distraction of healthcare providers due to overuse of a mobile phone in the clinical setting may cause adverse events that threaten the safety of patients 14,15 .…”

Purpose The study was conducted to explore the relationship between mobile phone addiction, work procrastination, and burnout among newly graduated nurses. Design and Methods A cross‐sectional survey involving 220 newly graduated nurses in China was conducted from June to July 2020. Findings Approximately 60.9% of newly graduated nurses experienced occupational burnout; 72.7% of newly graduated nurses were characterized by moderate or greater procrastination and mobile phone addiction was at a moderate level. Mobile phone addiction and work procrastination were significant factors leading to emotional exhaustion and cynicism. Work procrastination was also an independent predictor of reduced professional efficacy. Practice Implications Reducing the level of mobile phone addiction and work procrastination among newly graduated nurses might be effective for burnout prevention.
