Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the level of smartphone overuse, depression, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationship in college of health science students and to understand the relationships among those variables. From October 1st, 2013 to December 10th, 2013, data was collected through convenience sampling of 260 students at 4-year institution based on Gyeonggi province and Chungbuk province. To obtain objective conclusions from the resulting data, we performed statistical analysis of t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe' test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis through the statistical package, SPSS WIN 18.0. Variables that affect smartphone overuse, include interpersonal relationship and satisfaction of campus life. The total explanation of smartphone overuse was 13.3%. Smartphone overuse is significantly negatively related with the individual's interpersonal relationship, which is negatively related to depression. Self-esteem is positively correlated with interpersonal relationship. From these findings, it seems very important that the educational ways to improve the interpersonal relationship and satisfaction of campus are to be sought after. Furthermore, other variables related to smartphone overuse, will need to be considered for the next following research.

본 연구는 대학생의 스마트폰 과다사용과 우울, 자아존중감, 대인관계의 정도를 파악하고 스마트폰 과다사용에 영향을 미치는 관련요인들을 알아보기 위한 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 경기도 H시, 충청북도 J군에 소재한 4년제 대학에 재학 중인 보건계열 대학생 260명을 편의표집하였으며, 자료 수집은 2013년 10월 1일부터 12월 10일까지 이루어졌다. 자료분석은 SPSS WIN 18.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 t-검정(t-test), 분산분석(ANOVA), Scheffe's test, Pearson's 상관분석 및 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 스마트폰 과다사용은 대인관계와 유의한 부적상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 대상자가 지각하는 우울은 대인관계와 유의한 부적상관관계를 보였다. 한편 자아존중감은 대인관계와 유의한 정적상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대학생의 스마트폰 과다사용 정도에 영향을 미치는 변수로는 대인관계와 대학생활 만족도로 나타났으며 이 변수들은 대상자의 스마트폰 과다사용에 대해 13.3%의 설명력을 보였다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 대학생들의 스마트폰 과다사용 예방과 중재 방안에 대인관계와 대학생활 만족도 향상을 위한 방안이 포함되어야 하며, 더불어 대학생들의 스마트폰 과다사용과 관련된 다양한 차원의 요인 변수들을 포함한 추후 연구가 필요 할 것으로 사료된다.
