Abstract：
Introduction In recent years, the increased use of smartphones has adversely affected students, leading to issues like musculoskeletal pain. Therefore, our objective was to assess the correlation between smartphone addiction and neck and lower back pain. Methodology An observational cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Baha University, Al-Baha, Saudi Arabia. The Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Version (SAS-SV) was used to measure the level of smartphone addiction while the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was utilized to evaluate musculoskeletal pain. Results Smartphone addiction was prevalent in 72% of the participants (n = 293). Significantly, lower back pain was associated with smartphone addiction (p-value = 0.004). However, none of the demographic characteristics were associated with neck or lower back pain (p-value > 0.05). Students in clinical years had a higher risk of neck pain than those in an internship (p-value = 0.048). Conclusion Almost two-thirds of the students were addicted to smartphones, with a significant association with lower back pain. Students addicted to their smartphones had a higher risk of developing lower back pain, while clinical-year students had a higher risk of developing neck pain. It\'s important to raise awareness about the health and safety dangers linked to smartphones and other devices.
摘要：
引言近年来,智能手机的使用增加对学生产生了不利影响，导致肌肉骨骼疼痛等问题。因此,我们的目的是评估智能手机成瘾与颈部和下背部疼痛之间的相关性.方法学在Al-Baha大学进行了一项观察性横断面研究，Al-Baha,沙特阿拉伯。智能手机成瘾量表简版（SAS-SV）用于测量智能手机成瘾的水平，而北欧肌肉骨骼问卷（NMQ）用于评估肌肉骨骼疼痛。结果72％的参与者（n=293）普遍存在智能手机成瘾。重要的是,腰背痛与智能手机成瘾相关(p值=0.004).然而,没有一个人口学特征与颈痛或下背痛相关(p值>0.05).与实习学生相比，临床学生患颈部疼痛的风险更高（p值=0.048）。结论近三分之二的学生沉迷于智能手机，与下背痛有显著关联。沉迷于智能手机的学生患腰痛的风险更高，而临床学生发生颈部疼痛的风险较高。重要的是要提高人们对与智能手机和其他设备相关的健康和安全危险的认识。
