Reduced Health-Related Quality of Life Due to Mobile Phone Dependence in a Sample of Chinese College Students: The Mediating Role of Chronotype and Sleep Quality
Mobile Phone Dependence Linked to Lower Quality of Life in Chinese College Students, Related to Sleep Patterns and Sleep Quality
AI simplified
Abstract
Mobile phone dependence significantly reduces health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among Chinese college students.
- Mobile phone dependence is associated with lower HRQoL scores as measured by the EQ-5D-5L index and visual analog scale.
- A significant negative relationship exists between mobile phone dependence and chronotype, indicating that higher dependence correlates with less favorable chronotype scores.
- Mobile phone dependence also negatively impacts sleep quality, suggesting that those with higher dependence may experience poorer sleep.
- Chronotype is found to negatively predict sleep quality, indicating that less favorable chronotypes are linked to poorer sleep outcomes.
- Sleep quality significantly predicts HRQoL, with lower sleep quality correlating with reduced HRQoL scores.
