Filter by:An observational cross-sectional study will be conducted on 90 female students (right dominant) aged 19-26 years at Jazan University, they will have 40 points or more on Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale (SAPS) and will be divided into three groups (30 students for each): Group I (BMI<25kg/m2), Group II (BMI 25-30kg/m2), and Group III (BMI >30 kg/m2). Pain pressure thresholds were measured using a pressure gauge algometer (PGA) over trigger points in the neck muscles.
Statement of the problem: Does overuse of the smartphones affect trunk muscles performance in normal adolescents it will be assumed that There will be no affection of smartphone addiction on trunk muscles performance in normal adolescents
In the last decade, infants are born into a social environment in which the smartphone has become an essential part of our lives. Smartphone use draws the mother's attention during mother-infant interactions and thus may affect the infant development as well as maternal self-efficacy. However, the effects of smartphone use reduction among breastfeeding mothers during their interactions with their infants have not been studied yet. In the present study, we propose to evaluate a "SMaRT Mom" intervention that we have developed, to manage and reduce smartphone use during breastfeeding. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of the SMaRT Mom intervention on breastfeeding mothers' biobehavioral mechanisms, self-efficacy and the socioemotional characteristics of their infants. This will extend our knowledge of the peculiarities of early mother-infant interactions in the digital era, when smartphones play a critical role.
Mobile-based technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, and in the past decade, smartphone use has become common among today's university students, who have mental health. A lot of attention has been paid in the media to the existence of "smartphone addiction" or problematic smartphone use(Sohn et al., 2019).Overuse of smartphones can cause health problems(Adams & Kisler, 2013; Demirci et al., 2015). As an interdisciplinary subject, this study aimed at university students' smartphone addiction behavior research, understand the information era of college students' way of behavior patterns, exercise and psychological intervention strategy is put forward, to evaluate exercise and MBI intervention,and reduction of university students' smartphone addiction.
Statement of the problem: Are there relations between smartphone addiction, neck posture, pulmonary functions and functional capacity in children? Null hypothesis It will be assumed that: - There will be no effect of smart phone addiction on head posture, pulmonary function and functional capacity in children. - There will be no relation between smartphone addiction, head posture, pulmonary function and functional capacity in children.
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of scapular stabilization exercises on scapular muscles strength (serratus anterior, lower fibers of trapezius, rhomboid major and minor), pain intensity level and kyphosis index in different duration of time using daily of smartphone in smartphone users.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between smartphone addiction and trunk position sense, insomnia and fatigue in adolescents. Sample size will be determined after a pilot study conducted on a small sample of adolescents. Digital goniometer will be used to evaluate trunk position sense, insomnia severity index will be used to evaluate insomnia severity and fatigue will be measured by fatigue severity scale.
First research findings suggest that the influence of digital media on children's and adolescents' health depends primarily on proper use and regulation. In line with Social Cognitive Theory, parents' own mobile device use is very important to regulate children's media use because parents are their children's role models. However, parents do not always behave as optimal role models: They use smartphones on playgrounds, in restaurants, as well as during family mealtimes. This usage of mobile devices leads to interruptions during face-to-face conversations or routines which is defined as "technoference". Studies among children and parents suggest that parental mobile device use is associated with fewer parent-child interactions. In addition, first studies investigated mobile device use at the dining table and showed that mothers had less interactions with their children during meal times when they used a mobile device compared to mothers who did not and their children were also less likely to try new and unfamiliar food. Along the same lines, lower parental mobile device use during mealtime is also associated with healthier body weight in children. AIM: Examination of the effect of a time out from smartphone use during a family meal on the parent-child interaction at the meal table and eating quality in comparison to family meals where participants use the smartphone as usual. DESIGN: The study is a within-family field experiment with daily assessments over 14 days (7 days for the experimental condition, 7 days for the control condition). Families will go through both, intervention and control condition with a break of 21 days in between. The assessment of the main and secondary outcomes is conducted at the baseline, over a 14 day daily diary phase and at the follow-up (directly after the daily diary phase). The sample will consist of 120 families with at least one child between the age of 6 to 14 years old. Only the participating adult in the study fills in the questionnaires. OUTCOMES: (Un)healthy eating and parent-child interaction constitute the main outcome, whereas technoference, mealtime duration, atmosphere at the meal table, and smartphone use frequency are secondary outcomes.
