Abstract:- In our digital society, the use of smart phones has increased rapidly. There are 3.4 billion smart phone users worldwide. India, a developing nation has the second largest number of mobile phone users in the world, accounting for more than 900 million users with the fastest growing telecom network. The excessive smart phone use is strongly associated with a number of mental health issues, including stress, increased risk of abnormal anxiety, insomnia and depression. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between smart phone use and mental health by measuring levels of anxiety, depression, stress and sleep quality among high school students (11th & 12th Science/Commerce/Art) in Surat.
Methodology:- A cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 100 subjects (both males and females) in Surat. Subjects were asked to complete a self-reported questionnaire, including measures of Depression, Anxiety and Stress scale (DASS), Insomnia assessed using Athene Insomnia Scales (AIS), Smart phone addiction scale – Short version.(SAS-sv).
Result:- Study indicates that sleep quality has positive significant effect with smart phone users. Anxiety and depression symptoms are somewhat more present in adolescents. The results revealed there were high chances of anxiety for cell phone use. Subjects with insomnia had a higher AIS score than those without insomnia. The sleep disturbance measured by the AIS was positively associated with depression and anxiety.
