Abstract
This study investigates the effects of sociality, life stress, and depression on smartphone addiction among nursing college students. In October and November 2019, data was collected from nursing college students situated in certain areas. The data of totally 270 students was finally analyzed by frequency, percentage, t-test, and ANOVA, to examine differences in smartphone addiction according to the general characteristics of the subjects. Major variables and multiple regression analysis was carried out to examine factors influencing smartphone addiction. We determined that hours of using a smartphone (β=0.183, p<0.001), life stress (β=0.369, p<0.001), and depression (β=0.205, p=0.012) significantly affect smartphone addiction, having an explanatory power of 33.5%. Life stress (r=0.50, p<0.001) and depression (r=0.35, p<0.001) have high positive correlations with smartphone addiction, whereas sociality (r=-0.20, p<0.001) is negatively correlated. To summarize, our results indicate that hours of using a smartphone, life stress, and depression have important impacts on smartphone addiction among nursing college students. These findings raise a need to reinforce the development of programs to help nursing college students increase their ability of managing hours of using a smartphone, and reduce their life stress and depression to prevent subsequent smartphone addiction.
