Abstract

Background: Internet Addiction and phubbing are prevalent disruptive behaviours among students. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between phubbing, smartphone addiction and some of the related psychological effects among dental undergraduates.

Materials and methods: A multi-centric cross-sectional pre-validated questionnaire-based study was conducted among undergraduate students of five different dental colleges across India. The questionnaire included the Phubbing Scale, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), Smartphone Application-based Addiction Scale (SABAS), and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The data were analysed with IBM SPSS version 21, followed by a t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Spearmen's co-relation to find the association between different psychological variables among study subjects.

Results: The total sample comprise of 1226 with mean age of 22.35. The SABAS showed a higher mean ± standard deviation (SD) score (3.17 ± 0.93). The Phubbing Scale showed a positive correlation with the SABAS (0.658), the results were found to be highly statistically significant (P = 0.01).

Conclusion: The present study found a higher prevalence of phubbing and smartphone addiction among dental students. Our results showed that impulsiveness leads to internet addiction and thus phubbing is becoming a way to find solace during communication to escape anxiety and distress.

口腔医学本科生的嗜睡、智能手机成瘾及相关心理变量评估：一项多中心研究。

背景网瘾和网络成瘾是学生中普遍存在的破坏性行为。本研究的目的是评估牙科专业本科生中网络成瘾、智能手机成瘾与一些相关心理影响之间的关系：在印度五所不同牙科学院的本科生中开展了一项多中心横断面预验证问卷调查。问卷包括嗜睡量表（Phubbing Scale）、巴拉特冲动量表（Baratt Impulsiveness Scale，BIS）、智能手机应用成瘾量表（Smartphone Application-based Addiction Scale，SABAS）和罗森伯格自尊量表（Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale，RSES）。数据用 IBM SPSS 21 版进行分析，然后用 t 检验、方差分析（ANOVA）和斯皮尔曼相关性分析来找出研究对象不同心理变量之间的关联：样本总数为 1226 人，平均年龄为 22.35 岁。SABAS显示出较高的平均±标准差（SD）得分（3.17±0.93）。Phubbing 量表与 SABAS 呈正相关（0.658），结果具有高度统计学意义（P = 0.01）：本研究发现，牙科学生中嗜睡和智能手机成瘾的发生率较高。我们的研究结果表明，冲动会导致网络成瘾，因此 "看书 "正成为人们在交流过程中寻求慰藉、逃避焦虑和痛苦的一种方式。
