Adicción o abuso del teléfono móvil: revisión de la literatura
Open accessAbstract
El teléfono móvil es un instrumento tecnológico relativamente nuevo, versátil y accesible, muy atractivo, especialmente para jóvenes, cuyo uso conlleva riesgo de abuso y comportamiento adictivo. En los últimos años ha aumentando el interés por este problema, especialmente por la implicación de población cada vez más joven. El objetivo del presente trabajo es revisar el estado actual del conocimiento sobre la adicción/ abuso del móvil. Para ello, se efectuó una búsqueda en bases de datos internacionales, utilizando los descriptores “mobile phone”, “cellular telephones”, “addiction” y “abuse”, focalizándose en estudios de prevalencia, pruebas diagnósticas, asociaciones con variables psicológicas y diferencias de género. Se observa una indefinición conceptual sobre los conceptos de abuso y adicción al móvil, gran disparidad en la adopción de criterios diagnósticos y multiplicidad de instrumentos para su estimación. Consecuentemente, la prevalencia estimada oscila entre 0-38%, en función de la escala y características de la población estudiada. La autoatribución de adicción al móvil supera la estimación que alcanzan los mismos estudios. El rasgo de personalidad más consistentemente asociado a adicción es la baja autoestima, aunque la extraversión se relaciona con uso más intenso. Las mujeres con baja autoestima representan el grupo más vulnerable. El síntoma psicopatológico más comúnmente asociado fue la depresión. En definitiva, se evidencia que existe una problemática relacionada con el uso del teléfono móvil, pero la ausencia de criterios diagnósticos y la precaria calidad de los estudios dificultan la definición del problema. Es necesario delimitar y unificar criterios que permitan realizar estudios comparables y de calidad.

The smartphone has raised concerns about its potential to be addictive, as happens with other possible behavioral addictions such as those to the Internet or to social networking sites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
