摘要
背景:智能手机的使用和学业成绩之间的关系通常是矛盾的,因此有必要对这一主题进行更多的研究。目的:本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯哈立德国王大学(KKU) Abha男性牙科学生的智能手机使用情况、智能手机成瘾的流行程度、相关因素,并确定智能手机成瘾与学业成就的关系。方法:对沙特阿拉伯阿卜哈KKU的男性牙科学生进行横断面研究。本研究采用经验证的智能手机成瘾量表短版(SAS-SV)问卷。在95%置信区间P值< 0.05,所有检验的统计学显著性水平。Pearson’s correlation用于检验学业成绩与智能手机成瘾之间的关系强度,多元逻辑回归分析用于确定研究人群中智能手机成瘾与GPA之间的关联和预测因素。结果:168名受访者参与了研究。社交网络(35.7%)是使用智能手机的主要目的。此外,9.5%的受访者将智能手机用于教育目的。学生吸毒成瘾率为78.0%。Pearson相关分析显示,两组间存在显著的弱负相关(df = 166, r = -0.35, P = 0.0001*)。首次使用智能手机的年龄与智能手机成瘾呈显著负相关(df = 166, r = -0.19, P = 0.014*)。结论:研究显示,在研究人群中,智能手机成瘾的患病率很高,而将智能手机用于教育目的的比例较低。此外,该研究还显示,智能手机成瘾与GPA之间存在统计学上显著的负相关。
A Survey of Smartphone Addiction and its Relationship with Academic Performance among Saudi Undergraduate Dental Students.
Background: The relationship between smartphone use and academic attainment is generally contradictory and hence it is imperative for more research on this subject matter.
Aim: The aim of this present study is to assess smartphone use, the prevalence of smartphone addiction, factors related to its addiction, and determine the relationship of smartphone addiction on academic accomplishment among male dental students in King Khalid University (KKU) Abha, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted among male dental students at KKU, Abha, Saudi Arabia. A validated Smartphone Addiction Scale Short-version (SAS-SV) questionnaire was adopted for this research. Statistical significance level for all tests set at P value < 0.05 at 95% confidence interval. Pearson's correlation was used to examine the strength of the relationship between academic performance and smartphone addiction, Multiple logistic regression analysis to determine the association and predictors of smartphone addiction with GPA among the study population.
Results: One hundred and sixty-eight (168) respondents participated in the study. Social networking (35.7%) was the main purpose for smartphone usage. Also, 9.5% of respondents used smartphones for educational purposes. The prevalence of students who were addicted was 78.0%. Pearson's correlation showed a significantly negative weak correlation (df = 166, r = -0.35, P = 0.0001*). The age of first use of smartphones was statistically significantly weak and correlated negatively to smartphone addiction (df = 166, r = -0.19, P = 0.014*).
Conclusion: The study revealed a high prevalence of smartphone addiction among the study population and the use of smartphones for educational purposes was found to be low. Furthermore, the study shows a statistically significant negative association between smartphone addiction and GPA.
