    Publication . Oliosi, Maria Eduarda; Silva, Cláudia; Simões, Daniela; Pinheiro, Ana Rita
    A raquialgia crónica é cada vez mais frequente nos estudantes universitários. O posicionamento mantido tem sido referido como um potencial fator de risco. Nas últimas décadas, o desenvolvimento de dispositivos eletrónicos tem mudado os hábitos posturais. Um exemplo disso são os smartphones. Mediante o exposto, este estudo pretendeu analisar a associação entre a dependência autorreferida do uso de smartphone e a raquialgia crónica em estudantes universitários.

  • Smartphone addiction and chronic spinal pain among university students: A cross-sectional study
    Publication . Oliosi, Maria Eduarda; Silva, Cláudia; Simões, Daniela; Pinheiro, Ana Rita; Silva, Cláudia
    Current smartphones are highly versatile, and their use is embedded in people’s daily lives, particularly among university students. Their overuse does not seem to be harmless, being associated with adverse effects, including musculoskeletal dysfunction. Moreover, chronic spinal pain (CSP) is increasing among university students. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of self-reported smartphone addiction (SA) and CSP among university students and analyze the association between both. A cross-sectional study was performed. Date were obtained from a sample of university students through an online self-reported questionnaire, which included the Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Version, the Numerical Pain Rating Scale, the Neck Disability Index, and the Oswestry Disability Index. Of 465 students who responded, 31% showed SA, and 26% reported CSP. Students with SA evidenced a greater prevalence of neck, thoracic, and low back pain when compared to university students without addiction. Logistic regression analysis showed a significant association between SA and CSP (OR = 2.48, 95% CI = 1.55–3.98). However, longitudinal studies are needed to establish causal relationships. This study concludes that SA and CSP are both prevalent among university students, and their association should be further analyzed and considered in preventive measures.
