“…It is also possible that people who are more addicted to Facebook will experience higher level of state anxiety without Facebook due to dependence on the technologies. Park and Choi (2015) found that compared with people in the low addiction or normal group, those with higher smartphone addiction reported higher level of state anxiety when their phone was taken away. Hawi and Samaha's (2017) survey revealed that people with smartphone addiction demonstrated greater odds of having high state anxiety compared to those who were not addicted.…”

Background and aims: Although social networking sites brought giant convenience, many negative effects on users' psychological well-being need more investigation. This study used a survey to examine Facebook addiction and state anxiety without Facebook. As research shows gender is related to trait anxiety and may interact with trait anxiety to influence state anxiety, we also assess the interaction effect between gender and trait anxiety. Methods: A total of 526 college students in the US participated in the survey. A systematic sampling method was used and an e-mail invitation with the link of the survey was sent to every third student on the students' e-mail list. Study measures included demographics, trait anxiety, Facebook intensity, different Facebook activities, Facebook addiction, and state anxiety without Facebook. Hierarchical multiple regression was run to test how trait anxiety, gender, Facebook intensity, and different types of Facebook activities predict Facebook addiction and state anxiety. Results: Facebook use intensity predicts Facebook addiction (β = 0.573, p < .001) and state anxiety (β = 0.567, p < .001). Facebook use for broadcasting positively predicts Facebook addiction (β = 0.200, p < .01) and state anxiety (β = 0.171, p < .01). Trait anxiety positively predicts Facebook addiction (β = 0.121, p < .05) and state anxiety (β = 0.119, p < .05). Gender interacts with trait anxiety and jointly predicts Facebook addiction (β = 0.201, p < .01). Discussion and conclusions: Trait anxiety, Facebook intensity, and broadcasting behavior on Facebook positively predict Facebook addiction and state anxiety. Moreover, gender interacts with trait anxiety, so that the gender difference in Facebook addiction is significant only when trait anxiety is low.

“…They concluded that dependency upon smartphones, mediated by an unhealthy connection to their constant use, may lead to increased anxiety when the device is absent. Several studies have reported associations between problematic smartphone use and social interaction anxiety ( Enez Darcin et al., 2016 ; Lee, 2015 ; Sapacz, Rockman, & Clark, 2016 ), compulsive anxiety ( Khang, Woo, & Kim, 2012 ), and general anxiety ( Lee et al., 2010 ; Lepp, Barkley, & Karpinski, 2014 ; Ha, Chin, Park, Ryu, & Yu, 2008 ; Hong, Chiu, & Huang, 2012 ; Park & Choi, 2015 ; Tavakolizadeh, Atarodi, Ahmadpour, & Pourgheisar, 2014 ). Relationships between high smartphone use and high anxiety, insomnia, and being female have also been reported ( Jenaro, Flores, Gómez-Vela, González-Gil, & Caballo, 2007 ).…”

Background and aimsOver the last decade, worldwide smartphone usage has greatly increased. Alongside this growth, research on the influence of smartphones on human behavior has also increased. However, a growing number of studies have shown that excessive use of smartphones can lead to detrimental consequences in a minority of individuals. This study examines the psychological aspects of smartphone use particularly in relation to problematic use, narcissism, anxiety, and personality factors.MethodsA sample of 640 smartphone users ranging from 13 to 69 years of age (mean = 24.89 years, SD = 8.54) provided complete responses to an online survey including modified DSM-5 criteria of Internet Gaming Disorder to assess problematic smartphone use, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory.ResultsThe results demonstrated significant relationships between problematic smartphone use and anxiety, conscientiousness, openness, emotional stability, the amount of time spent on smartphones, and age. The results also demonstrated that conscientiousness, emotional stability, and age were independent predictors of problematic smartphone use.ConclusionThe findings demonstrate that problematic smartphone use is associated with various personality factors and contributes to further understanding the psychology of smartphone behavior and associations with excessive use of smartphones.

“…Visual display terminal syndrome is a health problem that occurs when an individual looks at a VDT screen for an extended period 4 . While using a VDT, static sitting postures increase muscle tension, resulting in pain, eye fatigue, decreases in visual acuity, headaches, and shoulder, neck, and upper back discomfort 4,5 . Furthermore, a forward head posture (called the turtle neck syndrome) and trunk flexion gradually become a fixed postural habit 5 .…”

Visual display terminal syndrome is a health problem that occurs when an individual looks at a visual display terminal for a long time. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of YouTube videos on visual display terminal syndrome. YouTube was searched using the keywords "visual display terminal syndrome" and "a prolonged user of a computer or smartphone" on October 16, 2019. A total of 45 videos were evaluated using DISCERN and the Journal of the American Medical Association scoring systems. The variables extracted from the videos were the uploading agency; content; presentation format; days since upload; the number of views, likes, dislikes, and comments; and the video power index. The mean DISCERN and Journal of the American Medical Association scores were 35.64 and 3.08 points, respectively, indicating that the information on visual display terminal syndrome in YouTube videos was inaccurate and unreliable. The major reason for the low quality of the videos was that the sources of information presented in the videos were not provided. The DISCERN and Journal of the American Medical Association scores showed significant differences in the uploading agency and presentation format variables. Nurses must be familiar with evaluating the quality of videos presenting health information. Guidelines informing patients that YouTube might provide misinformation about health need to be developed.
