The Relationship between Exercise Perception, Pain and Smartphone Addiction among First Year Physiotherapy Students

Abstract

Purpose: We think that possible inactivity and a high risk of smartphone addiction may increase the potential musculoskeletal disorders in physiotherapy and rehabilitation students before beginning their professional lives. To draw attention to this issue, we aimed to investigate the relationship between exercise perception, musculoskeletal pain, and smartphone addiction. Material and Methods: Demographic data form, Exercise Benefit/Barrier Scale (EBS), Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorder Questionnaire (CMDQ), and Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) were filled out online by 45 volunteer students from the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department of Kırklareli University's Faculty of Health Sciences. Results: It was found that those who regularly exercised had lower EBS (p=0.031), exercise benefit (p=0. 029) and exercise barrier (p=0.251) scores, higher right forearm pain scores (p=0.035), higher median values for the CMDQ total score (p=0.052) and lower median SAS total scores (p=0.101) than those who did not. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant correlation between exercise perception, musculoskeletal pain, and smartphone addiction. However, it has been found that students who have the habit of exercising regularly have a lower level of exercise perception, a higher level of musculoskeletal pain, especially a higher level of forearm pain, and a lower risk of smartphone addiction.
