Abstract

Objective: Although many studies have demonstrated the association between depression and problematic smartphone use (PSU), temporal precedence of this relationship remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between present PSU and both past and current major depressive disorder (MDD) among adults.

Methods: We utilized data from the Korean Epidemiologic Catchment Area study, a nationwide epidemiologic survey that employed a multistage cluster sampling method. Participants were assessed using the Korean version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview to diagnose MDD and the Smartphone Overuse Screening Questionnaire to identify PSU.

Results: Of a total of 916 subjects, 139 (15.2%) belonged to the PSU group. The prevalence of PSU in older adults was substantial: 9.3% in the age group of 36-50 years and 5.4% in the age group of over 50 years. We found a significant association between MDD and PSU. Both current and previous MDD episodes were associated with an increased risk of PSU.

Conclusion: This study confirmed the association of PSU and depression among general adult population and the precedence of MDD to PSU. Even previously resolved depression was found to affect current PSU.

有问题的智能手机使用与当前和以前的重度抑郁症有关。
目的:尽管许多研究已经证明抑郁症与智能手机使用问题(PSU)之间存在关联,但这种关系的时间优先性仍然存在争议。本研究旨在探讨成人当前PSU与过去和现在的重度抑郁症(MDD)之间的关系。方法:我们利用了韩国流行病学流域研究的数据,这是一项采用多阶段整群抽样方法的全国性流行病学调查。使用韩国版的综合国际诊断访谈和智能手机过度使用筛查问卷对参与者进行评估,以诊断MDD和识别PSU。结果:916例患者中,PSU组139例(15.2%)。PSU在老年人中的患病率很高:36-50岁年龄组为9.3%,50岁以上年龄组为5.4%。我们发现MDD和PSU之间有显著的联系。当前和以前的重度抑郁症发作都与PSU的风险增加有关。结论:本研究证实了普通成人PSU与抑郁的相关性,以及MDD与PSU的优先性。甚至先前解决的抑郁症也会影响当前的PSU。
