Abstract

Background: This study established a network structure between problematic smartphone use (PSU) and poor sleep quality (PSQ) to explore their symptomatic relationship in adolescents with depression.

Methods: The data were obtained from the baseline data of the Chinese Adolescent Depression Cohort, which included depressed adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years. PSU and PSQ were assessed via the Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). This study utilized network analysis to identify the core and bridge symptoms between PSU and PSQ.

Results: The core symptom of the network was 'Anxiety and craving' in the PSU. The symptoms 'Anxiety and craving', 'Daytime dysfunction' and 'Sleep disturbances' could function as bridges between PSU and PSQ. The symptom 'Anxiety and craving' played the most important role in the interaction between PSU and PSQ. It affects 'Sleep disturbances' that contribute to the harm of problematic smartphone use to sleep quality. The symptom 'Daytime dysfunction' of PSQ was the most severely affected by PSU.

Conclusions: Interventions that target regulating negative emotion and reducing daytime tiredness would be more effective in managing problematic smartphone use and improving sleep quality.

Clinical trial number: Not applicable.

青少年抑郁症患者智能手机使用问题与睡眠质量差之间的症状网络。

背景：本研究在青少年抑郁症患者中建立智能手机使用问题（PSU）与睡眠质量差（PSQ）之间的网络结构，探讨两者的症状关系。方法：数据来自中国青少年抑郁队列的基线数据，该队列包括12 - 18岁的抑郁青少年。通过手机成瘾指数（MPAI）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）评估PSU和PSQ。本研究利用网络分析来确定PSU和PSQ之间的核心症状和桥梁症状。结果：PSU的核心症状为“焦虑和渴望”。“焦虑和渴望”、“白天功能障碍”和“睡眠障碍”等症状可能是PSU和PSQ之间的桥梁。“焦虑和渴望”在PSU和PSQ的相互作用中起着最重要的作用。它会影响“睡眠障碍”，导致有问题的智能手机使用对睡眠质量的危害。PSQ的“日间功能障碍”症状受PSU的影响最为严重。结论：针对调节负面情绪和减少白天疲劳的干预措施将更有效地管理有问题的智能手机使用和改善睡眠质量。临床试验号：不适用。
