Preventive Medicine Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 42, С. 102744 - 102744

Опубликована: Апрель 24, 2024

Recently, the widespread surge in smartphone addiction (SA) has raised major global health concerns and prompted researchers to scrutinize inverse relationship between physical activity (PA) risk of SA. This systematic literature review aims synthesize empirical research on PA SA among university students representing most affected age group Adopting Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we explored five databases: PubMed, Social Sciences Research Network (SSRN), Oxford Archive, Journal Storage (JSTOR), Google Scholar. We used Mixed Methods Appraisal Tools (MMAT) quality assessment. Thirty-one studies met inclusion criteria. Twenty-eight them were cross-sectional, three experimental. The 31 emerged from 12 countries, stemming (45.16%) China. Their findings suggest an examined population. However, direct may be weak based correlational studies, while intervention yields noteworthy effects. Still, other factors like resilience mediate studied relationship. Methodological render results tentative. Regular could a promising preventive measure Future work should use objective indices longitudinal designs assessing type duration applications via device meters. In interviews follow up high or too much use. conclusion, moderate evidence indicates that can reduce students.

Smartphone addiction (SA) refers to a behavioral disorder characterized by an irresistible compulsion excessively engage with mobile devices. Currently, the evidence regarding relationship between physical activity (PA), exercise intensity (EI), and SA is limited, particularly within Chinese populations. This study aims explore correlation PA, EI, SA, specifically investigating how PA EI impact better understand nature of this relationship. A cross-sectional was conducted involving college students from over 20 universities in Western China. Data were collected on participants' engagement SA. Additionally, covariates such as age, gender, ethnicity, academic classification, university location, discipline, year study, hometown region, sibling status, social interactions recorded. Multivariate logistic regression models used assess association Stratified interaction analyses performed examine whether remained consistent across different subgroups. Of 3,506 surveyed, 1,905 (54.3%) experienced The prevalence 11.3% lower group that engaged compared those who did not. In fully adjusted model, negatively associated (OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.59-0.82, p < 0.001). also inversely Moderate- vigorous-intensity had odds ratios 0.81 (95% 0.67-0.98, 0.034) 0.83 0.68-1.00, 0.046), respectively, low-intensity exercise.

Particularly, “Double Non” are more likely to face academic burnout (AB) due lower school satisfaction after-degree employment ratio, in comparison First-Class” students. Objectives In view this, present study examined structural relationships physical exercise (PE), mobile phone addiction (MPA), learning engagement (LE), AB students, aiming at exploring corresponding mechanism provide supportive guidance for alleviating potential AB. Methods This adopted a cross-sectional survey approach sample China. We recruited 930 participants (272 men 658 women) second half 2022–2023 year, all whom completed questionnaires involving Physical Exercise Rating Scale, Mobile Phone Dependence Index Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student, Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey. A series statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, direct indirect effects variables, were proceeded based on collected data. Results The results showed that PE can only directly negatively influence AB, but also indirectly through mediation MPA well chain both LE. While had no significantly effect via Discussion was proved be an effective way reduce then enhance LE, consequently leading decreased findings discussed light related research, implications future directions put forward application theoretical research educational practice.
