| Summary: | This study investigated the relationship between smartphone addiction, sleep quality and stress level among
university students. Questionnaires were distributed to 90 university students in year 2017 who were selected
randomly from various residential colleges of the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi Campus. The data
were collected and analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) software. The results showed
that 41.4% of the students had high risk of smartphone addiction while 88.9% and 37.8% of them had poor sleep
quality and high perceived stress respectively. It was also found that with confidence interval 90% and maximum
error estimate 6%, there was a positive correlation between smartphone addiction and sleep quality. The highest
correlation was between smartphone addiction level and perceived stress, while the least correlation was between
sleep quality and perceived stress. Hence, it is suggested for the residential colleges to organize or uphold any
relevant programs to reduce the smartphone addiction among university students. |
