Abstract Background Over the past decade, smartphone use has become widespread amongst today’s children and young people (CYP) which parallels increases in poor mental health this group. Simultaneously, media concern abounds about existence of ‘smartphone addiction’ or problematic use. There been much recent research concerning prevalence is who smartphones, how syndrome relates to outcomes, but not synthesized critically evaluated. Aims To conduct a systematic review meta-analysis examine PSU quantify association with harms. Methods A search strategy using Medical Subject Headings was developed adapted for eight databases between January 1, 1st 2011 October 15th 2017. No language restriction applied. Of 924 studies identified, 41 were included review, three cohort 38 cross sectional studies. The outcomes self-reported: depression; anxiety; stress; sleep quality; decreased educational attainment, according an priori protocol. Results 41,871 CYP, 55% female. median CYP 23.3% (14.0–31.2%). associated increased odds depression (OR = 3.17;95%CI 2.30–4.37; I 2 78%); anxiety 3.05 95%CI 2.64–3.53; 0%); higher perceived stress 1.86;95%CI 1.24–2.77; 65%); poorer quality 2.60; 95%CI; 1.39–4.85, 78%). Conclusions reported approximately one every four accompanied by health. evolving public that requires greater study determine boundary helpful harmful technology Policy guidance needed outline harm reduction strategies.

This article provides a systematic review of existing research on problematic smartphone use (PSU) to guide other researchers in search relevant studies, and propose areas for future research. In total, 293 studies were analyzed leading the development an overview model field PSU, presenting findings demographic factors, explanations why this becomes problematic, consequences how such can be corrected. addition, we considered which contexts, with methods, theoretical lenses stream has been studied date. Smartphone is most often explained by design, users' emotional health their ability control use. Our suggests that people who are young, female, highly educated more prone PSU. Emotional issues frequently identified consequence Strategies correcting PSU fall into three categories: information-enhancing, capacity-enhancing, behavior reinforcement strategies. The conducted using quantitative surveys university college participants considering personal Whereas variety frameworks have adopted investigate they related identifying factors explaining use, seldom analyze findings. A agenda proposed consisting seven key questions investigated going forward.

Background and aims Despite many positive benefits, mobile phone use can be associated with harmful detrimental behaviors. The aim of this study was twofold: to examine (a) cross-cultural patterns perceived dependence on phones in ten European countries, first, grouped four different regions (North: Finland UK; South: Spain Italy; East: Hungary Poland; West: France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland), second by country, (b) how socio-demographics, geographic differences, usage patterns, activities predicted dependence. Methods A sample 2,775 young adults (aged 18–29 years) were recruited Universities who participated an online survey. Measures included socio-demographic variables, use, the subscale a short version Problematic Mobile Phone Use Questionnaire (PMPUQ; Billieux, Van der Linden, & Rochat, 2008). Results from Northern Southern reported heaviest phones, whereas less prevalent Eastern region. However, proportion highly dependent users more elevated UK, France. Regression analysis identified several risk factors for increased scores PMPUQ subscale, namely using daily, being female, engaging social networking, playing video games, shopping viewing TV shows through Internet, chatting messaging, downloading-related activities. Discussion conclusions Self-reported is influenced frequency specific application usage.
