Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The increasing rate of usage of smartphones ushers in various health problems and smartphone addiction. In the literature, the research focused mainly on the relationship between smartphone addiction and depression, anxiety and musculoskeletal system problems; however, the number of studies on fatigue was limited. We believe that this paper will be of interest to the readers of your journal because it adds information about the effect of smartphone addiction on physical activity, on sleep quality and especially on fatigue.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 322 students attending the Faculty of Health Sciences at Süleyman Demirel University. The participants were given the socio-demographic characteristics form, developed by the researchers according to the literature review. They were also given the evaluation form, which surveys some variables related to smartphones, as well as the short version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Version (SAS-SV), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS).

Smartphone-addicted group

Piper Fatigue Scale

Intervention Type OTHER

The Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS) was developed by Piper et al. to measure fatigue in a multi-dimensional manner. The scale assesses the behavioural, affective, sensory and cognitive/mood attributes of fatigue and contains 22 items and 5 open-ended questions. Each item is scored between 0 and 10 using a Visual Analogue Scale. Sub-scale scores are obtained by dividing the scores from the sub-scale items by the number of the items in the sub-scale. The same method is used to calculate the total score
