Abstract

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the effects of problematic smartphone use on physical activity level and musculoskeletal pain. Methods Two hundred eighty university students (185 female; 95 male; mean age: 20.84±2.37 years) were included in the study. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to determine the level of physical activity. Problematic smartphone use was determined using the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form (SAS-SF) and musculoskeletal pain using the Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire. Results When SAS-SF scores were examined, it was seen that 31.8% (89 people) of the participants had problematic smartphone use. A moderate negative correlation was found between problematic smartphone use and physical activity level (p=0.0001; r=−0.419). Neck (p=0.017) and back pain (p=0.040) severity was higher in people with problematic smartphone use. Conclusions The findings show that problematic smartphone use has negative effects on both physical activity level and pain severity. For this reason, problematic smartphone use should be questioned in university students with neck and back pain.

有问题的智能手机使用对身体活动水平和肌肉骨骼疼痛的影响

摘要目的本研究的目的是检查问题智能手机使用对身体活动水平和肌肉骨骼疼痛的影响。方法大学生280人(女185人;95名男性;平均年龄:20.84±2.37岁)。使用国际身体活动问卷来确定身体活动水平。使用智能手机成瘾量表-短表(SAS-SF)和使用北欧肌肉骨骼系统问卷调查确定有问题的智能手机使用。当检查SAS-SF分数时，可以看到31.8%(89人)的参与者有智能手机使用问题。有问题的智能手机使用与身体活动水平之间存在中度负相关(p=0.0001;r =−0.419)。在使用智能手机的人群中，颈部疼痛(p=0.017)和背部疼痛(p=0.040)的严重程度更高。研究结果表明，有问题的智能手机使用对身体活动水平和疼痛严重程度都有负面影响。出于这个原因，有颈部和背部疼痛的大学生应该质疑智能手机的使用问题。
