Excessive smartphone use among adolescents, especially students, can develop into smartphone addiction and potentially disrupt learning concentration. At SMP Negeri 11 Jambi City, most students use smartphones for long periods for entertainment and social media until late at night, which leads to drowsiness and reduced focus during lessons. This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of all seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 11 Jambi City, totaling 352 students, with a sample of 175 respondents selected through stratified proportionate random sampling. Data were collected using the Smartphone Addiction Scale–Short Version (SAS-SV) questionnaire and a learning concentration questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate methods with Kendall’s tau-b test. The results showed that 84% of respondents experienced smartphone addiction, while 61.7% had a good level of learning concentration. Kendall’s tau-b test indicated a significant relationship between smartphone addiction and learning concentration (p-value = 0.000; r = 0.243), showing a weak association. Higher levels of smartphone addiction were linked to decreased learning concentration. Therefore, active involvement from schools and parents is needed to guide adolescents in managing stress and boredom positively.

The growing use of smartphones among adolescents carries a high risk of addiction, which can negatively impact physical, mental, and social well-being. To address this issue, a community service program was implemented to conduct early detection of gadget addiction among high school students and provide educational health media to raise knowledge and awareness about excessive smartphone use. The program involved 240 students of SMA Negeri 1 Tuntang and was conducted in three stages: screening, development of educational materials, and health counseling. Screening used the short version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale and revealed that 90% of students were classified as addicted. Prior to counseling, 81.25% of students had low levels of knowledge regarding healthy gadget use, which significantly improved after the intervention, with 83.4% achieving high knowledge levels. Health counseling proved crucial in enhancing students’ understanding and promoting responsible smartphone habits. The program highlights the importance of collaborative efforts by schools, parents, and students to limit smartphone use, encourage physical activity, and foster face-to-face social interactions to support adolescent well-being.

Smartphone addiction refers to excessive smartphone use that can have physical and psychological impacts. The purpose of this study was to provide psychoeducation to increase knowledge about self-management in an effort to reduce smartphone addiction.

Data collection used the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version questionnaire and additional questionnaires developed by the researcher. The results of the paired sample t-test showed an increase in scores after the psychoeducational intervention (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that psychoeducation can be used as an effective approach to preventing and reducing smartphone addiction in adolescents. These findings can provide new insights into the importance of preventing smartphone addiction through psychological and educational approaches that can be applied in the context of adolescent education and health. This study makes an important contribution to the prevention and management of smartphone addiction, with implications for the development of psychoeducational programs that can be implemented in educational and health settings to support adolescent well-being.

Background: Sleep disorders in adolescents are a significant health problem, with a global prevalence reaching 57.8% and particularly high rates in several cities in Indonesia. Poor sleep quality negatively impacts physical health, such as the risk of cardiovascular disease and anemia, as well as mental and cognitive health. Sleep behavior is influenced by a dynamic interaction between personal and environmental factors, as explained in Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). Research Objective: To identify the determinants of sleep deprivation in adolescents, specifically individual and environmental factors, based on a Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) perspective through a literature review from 2019 to 2025. Method: This study utilized a literature review. To obtain research data, the authors searched for scientific articles through Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases, then analyzed 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria, published between 2020 and 2025. Results: Factors significantly associated with adolescent sleep quality were identified, with individual factors being the most dominant determinant (found in 7 studies), including academic stress and smartphone addiction. Furthermore, a positive association was found with environmental factors (found in 4 studies), such as bright lighting, noise, and uncomfortable room temperature. Conclusion: Within the framework of Social Cognitive Theory, adolescent sleep quality is the result of a reciprocal interaction between personal factors (perceived stress and self-control over gadgets), the physical environment, and sleep behavior. Individual factors such as stress and nighttime gadget use reduce self-efficacy for regular sleep, which is exacerbated by an unfavorable environment.

Dependence on smartphones, characterized by excessive anxiety when unable to access them, known as Nomophobia, has become a common problem among students aged 18 to 24 years. One significant consequence of this condition is a decline in sleep quality. This study aimed to examine the correlation between the level of Nomophobia and the degree of sleep quality among third-year students of the Diploma Three Nursing Study Program at Abulyatama University. The research employed a correlative descriptive design with a cross-sectional survey method. Out of 177 third-year students, 64 participants were selected as samples using proportional random sampling. The Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) was used to assess the level of Nomophobia, while the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was utilized to measure sleep quality. Data collection occurred at the Diploma Three Nursing Study Program, Faculty of Health Sciences, Abulyatama University, from May 7 to 30, 2025. The bivariate analysis, performed using the chi-square method, showed a statistically significant relationship between Nomophobia and sleep quality, with a p-value of 0.048 (p < 0.05). The results revealed that 71.9% of respondents had a high level of Nomophobia, and 90.6% experienced sleep quality problems. These findings highlight the urgency of managing healthy smartphone use among students to ensure good sleep quality and reduce the risk of physical and psychological disorders.
