Abstract

Purpose

A growing body of evidence has indicated an association between cell phone use and psycho-pathological behavior. However, there is little information available on the association between cell phone use addiction (CUA) and sleep quality. The current study aimed at examining the association between CUA and sleep quality among students at Neyshabur University of medical sciences (NUMS).

Methods

This cross-sectional study involved the measurements of Cell Phone Overuse Scale (COS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) from April to July 2019 to measure CUA and sleep quality, respectively, in 550 students studying at NUMS, Iran. Univariate and multiple logistic regression models were performed to assess the association between CUA and sleep quality.

Results

The mean ± standard deviation for the age of the participants was 22.7 ± 5.9 years and most of them were female (60.2%). Out of 550 participants, 155 (28.2%) were found to be addicted to cell phone and 206 (37.5%) reported poor sleep quality. Based on the multiple logistic regression models, it was observed that CUA significantly increased the odds of poor sleep quality by more than twofolds in the study population (odds ratio = 2.09, 95% confidence interval: 1.38, 3.15, P < 0.001).

Conclusion

The results showed that that more than one-fourth of the study population were addicted to cell phone and more than one-third were poor sleepers. Also, it was observed that CUA is positively associated with poor sleep quality. Hence, educational programs must be provided especially for students to improve their sleep quality.
