RESUMO
This study was conducted to evaluate whether smart cell phones detach people from social life, make them lonely, cause depressive symptoms and whether there is a relationship between them. This is a cross-sectional study using face-to-face survey method. The sample was determined as 376 participants, with 95% confidence interval, 50% probability depending on the probability of having a smartphone or not. Participants in the sample were determined by systematic random sampling from adults aged 20 and over in Çiftlik district of Nigde province. The NMP-Q, DASS-42 and UCLA-LS were used. The median age of the 376 participants (192 male, 184 female) was 30 and the mean age was 32.0 (±10.94) years. Participants that had social media accounts were 68.9% of the population. Over 70% of the participants had mild, moderate or severe nomophobia. Nomophobia status of the participants was affected by the mean duration of the first-time smartphone use (Pâ =â .017), the mean daily smartphone usage time of the participants (Pâ <â .001), the mean number of smartphone users in the participants' families (Pâ =â .003), the mean depression and stress scores of the participants (Pâ <â .001), having social media account (Pâ =â .001), and declaration of smart phone dependency (Pâ =â .005). Nomophobia status was not affected by participants' gender, mean age, educational level, employment status, economic status and marital status (Pâ >â .05). The duration of daily smartphone use, the duration of first-time smartphone use, and having multiple smartphone users in family increased nomophobia. Also, having active social media accounts and self-reported smartphone addiction found correlated to nomophobia. Smartphone addiction increases depression, anxiety, and stress scores of the participants.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the factors that affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in untreated adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients in adulthood. We investigate the effect of clinical and radiological parameters on the SRS-22 results. METHODS: A total of 286 untreated adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients at adult age between April 2021 and April 2022 who were admitted to our clinic were included in the study. Rotational deformities were evaluated with a scoliometer. Cobb angles, coronal balance, clavicle angle, coronal pelvic tilt, trunk shift, and apical vertebral translation were measured in standing anteroposterior X-rays. The effect of each clinical and radiological parameter on SRS-22 results was evaluated. RESULTS: No correlation was found between gender, age, curve type, presence of gibbosity or diagnosis time, and SRS-22 scores. A negative correlation was found between the BMI of the patients and the self-image scores (r = - 0.246, p < 0.01) and function scores (r = - 0.193, p < 0.05). Main thoracic (MT) gibbosity negatively correlates with self-image and total SRS-22 scores. Also, negative correlations were found between lumbar/thoracolumbar (LTL) gibbosity, function, and pain scores. MT Cobb angle magnitude was negatively correlated with self-image, mental health, and total SRS-22 scores. There were negative correlations between clavicle angle and mental health score, coronal pelvic tilt and self-image score, and apical vertebral translation and pain score. CONCLUSION: BMI, MT gibbosity, LTL gibbosity, MT Cobb angle, clavicle angle, coronal pelvic tilt, and apical vertebral translation were negatively correlated with SRS-22 domains in untreated AIS patients in adulthood.
