Impact of Smartphone Usage on Adults Mental Health

Setsuki congo

Problematic smartphone use (PSU) has been associated with anxiety and depression, but many explored its internal well- being supplements that could co-occur with or be independent of internal symptoms. We studied the associations of PSU with anxiety, depression, and internal well- being in Hong Kong Chinese grown-ups in a probability- grounded check( N = 4054;55.0 ladies; mean age ± SD48.3 ±18.3 times). PSU was measured using Smartphone Addiction Scale- Short Version. Anxiety and depression symptoms were estimated using General Anxiety complaint screener- 2(GAD- 2) and Patient Health Questionnaire- 2(PHQ- 2). Mental well- being was measured using private Happiness Scale (SHS) and Short Warwick- Edinburgh Mental Well- Being Scale (SWEMWBS).Multivariable retrogression anatomized associations conforming for sociodemographic and life- related variables.Associations of PSU with internal well- being were stratified by symptom inflexibility of anxiety (GAD- 2 arrestment of 3) and depression (PHQ- 2 arrestment of 3). We set up that PSU was associated with advanced odds of anxiety and depression symptom inflexibility and lower scores of SHS and SWEMWBS. Associations of PSU with lower SHS and SWEMWBS scores remained in repliers who screened negative for anxiety or depression symptoms. To conclude,PSU was associated with anxiety, depression, and bloodied internal well- being. Associations of PSU with disabled internal well- being could be independent of anxiety or depression symptoms.
