Academic burnout was a problem in the world of education that was often experienced by medical students.  Educational demands and numerous assignments often caused medical students to felt overwhelmed and experience academic burnout. Uniquely, there were previous studies which found that in the midst of high activity, medical students still had time to access their smartphones. When students spend most of their time for smartphone used rather than their daily activities, students will have the potential to experience problematic smartphone used, which could have a negative impact on their study and daily routines. This problem became more interesting to be discussed considering current situation, in which almost everyone had their own smartphone and often relies on the smartphone for information or leisure purposes. This researched was conducted to examine the role of problematic smartphone used on academic burnout in medical students. Quantitative research using convenience sampling method was conducted to answer the question.  The participants of this study were 401 medical students.  Result showed that problematic smartphone use had a significant role on academic burnout in medical students (β = 0. 41, t = 8. 84). The result means an increase score on problematic smartphone use will be followed by an increase score on academic burnout, and vice versa. Academic burnout merupakan suatu masalah dalam dunia pendidikan yang seringkali dialami oleh mahasiswa kedokteran. Hal ini ditandai dengan rasa kewalahan, sinis, dan rasa tidak mampu untuk menjalani studi. Tuntutan pendidikan dan banyaknya tugas seringkali membuat mahasiswa kedokteran merasa kewalahan dan mengalami academic burnout. Uniknya, terdapat penelitian terdahulu yang menemukan bahwa di tengah kesibukan yang tinggi, mahasiswa kedokteran masih memiliki waktu untuk mengakses atau memainkan gawai yang dimilikinya. Ketika mahasiswa mengakses gawai dengan intensitas dan durasi yang terlalu panjang, mahasiswa akan memiliki potensi untuk mengalami problematic smartphone use, yang dapat memberikan dampak negatif bagi perkuliahan mahasiswa kedokteran. Masalah ini tentunya semakin menarik untuk dibahas mengingat saat ini setiap orang memiliki gawai dan seringkali bergantung pada gawai yang dimiliki untuk kebutuhan informasi ataupun untuk mengisi waktu luang. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menguji peran problematic smartphone use terhadap academic burnout pada mahasiswa kedokteran. Penelitian dengan teknik convenience sampling dilakukan untuk menjawab pertanyaan dalam penelitian ini. Partisipan penelitian ini adalah 401 mahasiswa kedokteran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa problematic smartphone use memiliki peran signifikan terhadap academic burnout pada mahasiswa kedokteran (β = 0.41, t = 8.84).  Hal ini berarti peningkatan skor problematic smartphone use akan diikuti dengan peningkatan skor academic burnout mahasiswa kedokteran. Sebaliknya, penurunan skor problematic smartphone use akan diikuti juga dengan penurunan skor academic burnout mahasiswa kedokteran.

Abstract Background Adults all over the world face serious issues from problematic smartphone use (PSU). It influences them negatively on a cognitive, behavioral, and emotional level, as well as on their tendencies and well-being. In Lebanon, the prevalence of PSU was shown to be 20.2% within the adult population, specifically with young adults (18–34 years old). This study investigates the validity and reliability of the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) Arabic version. In addition, this study evaluates the association between PSU and affective temperaments and the mediating role of self-esteem in this association. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out between August and September 2020, using a sample of community-dwelling participants aged 18 to 29 years. The Smartphone Addiction Scale—Short Version was used to evaluate smartphone addiction among adolescents and adults. The five different temperaments of the patients were assessed by using the Affective temperament Scale (TEMPS‐A). The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used to evaluate self-esteem. Results 461 participants were included in this study. All items of the SAS were extracted and yielded a one-factor solution with Eigenvalues > 1 (variance explained = 49.96%; αCronbach = 0.886). The confirmatory analysis results consolidated those obtained from the factor analysis. Higher depressive temperament (B = 0.46) was significantly associated with more smartphone addiction, whereas higher self-esteem (B =  − 0.28) was significantly associated with less smartphone addiction. Self-esteem was found to mediate the association between depressive and hyperthymic temperaments with smartphone addiction. Conclusion This study added a better understanding of the high smartphone addiction rate among adults in Lebanon. It confirms the association between affective temperaments and PSU through the mediating effect of self-esteem on Lebanese adults.

The Relationship

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic brought about great transformation to medical education mode. Although mobile communication devices played a crucial role in online learning among quarantined university students, the potential smartphone addition problems, negative health behaviors, and psychological symptoms need considerable attention. This study examined the relationship of problematic smartphone use (PSU), sleep quality, and daytime fatigue among medical students.Methods: A web-based survey was conducted in six polyclinic hospitals in Beijing between February and May 2020. 1016 participants (26.01 ± 2.46 years, 65.16% female) completed self-report measurements including Short Version Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS-SV), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and Subjective Fatigue Scale (FS). Spearman correlation coefficients and multiple regression models were used to analyze the association among PSU, sleep quality, and daytime fatigue. We used structural equation modeling to test the mediating effect of sleep quality between PSU and daytime fatigue.Results: 49.70% of the participants had PSU. Significant positive correlations were found among SAS-SV, AIS, and FS scores (r = 0.35–0.61, PS < 0.001). Subjects with PSU were more likely to report sleep disturbance (β = 1.07, P < 0.001, OR = 2.91, 95%CI = 2.17–3.91), physical fatigue (β = 1.16, P < 0.001, OR = 3.18, 95%CI = 2.45–4.15), and mental fatigue (β = 0.88, P < 0.001, OR = 2.42, 95%CI = 1.86–3.14). The indirect effect of PSU on physical fatigue and mental fatigue mediated by sleep quality accounted for 50.03 and 45.43% of the total effect, respectively.Conclusions: PSU was significantly associated with sleep disturbance and fatigue among medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sleep quality mediated the relationship between PSU and daytime fatigue. Our results provide valuable information for maintaining medical students' health status and constructing online education structures.

Smartphone Use

The present study examined whether the relationship between the Dark Triad (DT) of personality and problematic smartphone use (PSU) can be explained by the mediating role of fear of missing out (FoMO). The role of FoMO in this relationship has yet to be examined. A total of 457 participants completed an online survey. Results indicated that males scored high on measures assessing DT of personality, while females scored high on PSU. Structural equation modelling showed that narcissism was directly associated with PSU. FoMO partially mediated the association between narcissism and PSU. Machiavellianism and narcissism were directly associated with FoMO. In the fully mediated model, narcissism (but not Machiavellianism) was still associated with FoMO, and in turn, FoMO was related to PSU. Although preliminary, the results of the present study indicated that Machiavellianism and narcissism might represent antecedents of FoMO, in addition to the Big Five personality traits, and both could be involved in the development of PSU.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms are associated with addictive behaviors including problematic smartphone use (PSU). Drawing from existing theoretical models and empirical work, we examined the relation between PTSD symptoms, social/process-oriented smartphone feature uses, and PSU. Specifically, we examined the correlations between social/process-oriented smartphone feature uses with both PTSD symptom clusters (intrusions, avoidance, negative alterations in cognitions and mood, alterations in arousal and reactivity) and PSU and the mediating role of social/process-oriented smartphone feature uses in the relation between PTSD symptom clusters and PSU. The current study used data from a sample of 347 community participants recruited through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform. Correlation results indicated that process-oriented smartphone feature uses correlated significantly (positively) with all the PTSD symptom clusters and PSU. Further, mediation results indicated that process-oriented smartphone feature use significantly mediated the relationship between each PTSD symptom cluster and PSU. Beyond highlighting the role of process-oriented smartphone feature uses (e.g., watching videos/TV/movies, reading books/magazines, games) in the relation between PTSD symptoms and PSU, our findings suggest that efforts to reduce PSU among individuals with PTSD symptoms should integrate strategies for reducing process-oriented uses of smartphones.
