Abstract

Given that problematic smartphone use (PSU) has been researched for a long time, it becomes necessary to assess how the trends of PSU prevalence have evolved over time. In total, 106 articles from 2012 to 2022 with 109 studies covering 97,748 individuals were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The estimation of the global pooled PSU prevalence was 37.1% (95% confidence interval, 33.5 - 40.8%) and the PSU prevalence is growing over time in total. Although the PSU prevalence exhibited wide variation between regions and measurement scales, the increasing trend remained. In addition, the regression slope of the PSU prevalence trend in males was higher than that in females. Males initially had a lower prevalence of PSU than females, but this steadily changed over time until it was greater in males than in females. Moreover, the prevalence of PSU showed an increasing trend across all age groups, with a faster growth rate in the older age group. Considering the aforementioned results, it's necessary to implement proper interventions to do with this phenomenon. In addition, considering the differences in prevalence brought by regions, and measurement scales, in practice and research, we should not only take into account the disparities of PSU between countries or cultures, but also to concern about establishing unified standard and measurement tools to confirm it.

问题智能手机使用流行趋势及影响因素（2012-2022 年）：系统回顾与元分析》。

鉴于对问题智能手机使用（PSU）的研究由来已久，因此有必要评估PSU的流行趋势是如何随时间演变的。本系统综述和荟萃分析共纳入了2012年至2022年期间的106篇文章，109项研究，覆盖97748人。全球汇总的PSU流行率估计为37.1%（95%置信区间，33.5 - 40.8%），随着时间的推移，PSU的流行率总体呈上升趋势。虽然不同地区和不同测量尺度的 PSU 患病率差异很大，但增长趋势依然存在。此外，男性 PSU 流行率趋势的回归斜率高于女性。最初，男性的 PSU 患病率低于女性，但随着时间的推移，男性的 PSU 患病率稳步上升，直至男性高于女性。此外，各年龄组的 PSU 患病率均呈上升趋势，其中老年组的增长率较快。考虑到上述结果，有必要针对这一现象采取适当的干预措施。此外，考虑到在实践和研究中，不同地区、不同测量尺度所带来的患病率差异，我们不仅要考虑到不同国家或文化之间 PSU 的差异，还要关注建立统一的标准和测量工具来确认它。

期刊介绍： Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking is a leading peer-reviewed journal that is recognized for its authoritative research on the social, behavioral, and psychological impacts of contemporary social networking practices. The journal covers a wide range of platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, internet gaming, and e-commerce, and examines how these digital environments shape human interaction and societal norms. For over two decades, this journal has been a pioneering voice in the exploration of social networking and virtual reality, establishing itself as an indispensable resource for professionals and academics in the field. It is particularly celebrated for its swift dissemination of findings through rapid communication articles, alongside comprehensive, in-depth studies that delve into the multifaceted effects of interactive technologies on both individual behavior and broader societal trends. The journal's scope encompasses the full spectrum of impacts—highlighting not only the potential benefits but also the challenges that arise as a result of these technologies. By providing a platform for rigorous research and critical discussions, it fosters a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between technology and human behavior.
