Objective: Smartphone addiction may lead to many health issues. Excessive smartphone usage has been linked to musculoskeletal disorders and sleep problems. We aimed to examine the correlation between smartphone addiction, sleep quality and musculoskeletal disorders. Materials and Methods: 60 university students were included in the study. Individuals' smartphone addiction, sleep quality and musculoskeletal disorders were evaluated with the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), respectively. Results: There was a weak correlation between SAS and PSQI’s sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, daytime dysfunction subscales, PSQI total score, and CMDQ’s lower extremity and spine subscales (p=0.021, r=0.30; p=0.020, r=0.30; p=0.008, r=0.34; p=0.008, r=0.34; p=0.029, r=0.28; p=0.019, r=0.30). There was a well correlation between SAS and CMDQ’s upper extremity subscale and CMDQ total score (p=0.001, r=0.43; p=0.001, r=0.42).
Conclusion: It was concluded that as smartphone addiction increases in students, musculoskeletal disorders increase. Smartphone addiction was particularly associated with the neck, shoulder, back, upper arm, wrist and hip regions. It was also concluded that smartphone addiction worsens sleep efficiency and general sleep quality and leads to sleep disturbance and daytime dysfunction.

Amaç: Akıllı telefon bağımlılığı birçok sağlık sorununa yol açabilir. Aşırı akıllı telefon kullanımı kas-iskelet sistemi bozuklukları ve uyku sorunlarıyla ilişkilendirilmiştir. Akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ile uyku kalitesi ve kas-iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışmaya 60 üniversite öğrencisi dâhil edildi. Bireylerin akıllı telefon bağımlılığı, uyku kalitesi ve kas-iskelet sistemi bozuklukları sırasıyla Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği (ATBÖ), Cornell Kas İskelet Rahatsızlığı Ölçeği (CKİRÖ) ve Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ) ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: ATBÖ ile PUKİ'nin uyku etkinliği, uyku bozukluğu, gündüz işlev bozukluğu alt ölçekleri, PUKİ toplam puanı ve CKİRÖ'nün alt ekstremite ve omurga alt ölçekleri arasında zayıf bir korelasyon vardı (p=0.021, r=0.30; p=0.020, r=0.30; p=0.008, r=0.34; p=0.008, r=0.34; p=0.029, r=0.28; p=0.019, r=0.30). ATBÖ ve CKİRÖ üst ekstremite alt ölçeği ile CKİRÖ toplam puanı arasında iyi bir korelasyon vardı (p=0.001, r=0.43; p=0.001, r=0.42). Sonuç: Öğrencilerde akıllı telefon bağımlılığı arttıkça kas-iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarının da arttığı sonucuna varıldı. Akıllı telefon bağımlılığı özellikle boyun, omuz, sırt, üst kol, bilek ve kalça bölgeleriyle ilişkiliydi. Ayrıca akıllı telefon bağımlılığının uyku verimliliğini ve genel uyku kalitesini kötüleştirdiği, uyku bozukluğuna ve gündüz işlev bozukluğuna yol açtığı sonucuna varıldı.
