BACKGROUND AND AIM:Smartphone addiction is a behavioral addiction characterized by excessive smartphone use that negatively affects daily life. Procrastination is defined as the unnecessary delay of priority activities. Mind-wandering refers to a shift in attention away from the external environment toward thoughts that are stimulus-independent and unrelated to the task at hand. Smartphone addiction, procrastination, and mind-wandering behaviours in medical students might be related. These behaviours can cause negative psychiatric processes. This study examines the relationship between psychological well-being and smartphone addiction, mind-wandering, and procrastination in medical students.
METHODS (Ethics Committee Approval must be obtained and the number should be specified.):A cross-sectional online survey was conducted, collecting data from medical students enrolled at Atatürk University. The study utilized a socio-demographic data form, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form (SAS-SF), the Adult Procrastination Inventory (API), the Mind Excessively Wandering Scale (MEWS), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS). Ethical approval was obtained from the Atatürk University Ethics Committee (Decision date: 31.01.2025, Decision No:11).
RESULTS:The study included 325 participants(202 women, 123 men). Significant negative correlation was found between SAS-SF and PWB scores (p < 0.001, r = -0.351). API score indicated significant negative correlation with PİOÖ score (p < 0.001, r = -0.313). Similarly, significant negative correlation was shown between MEWS and PWB scores (p < 0.001, r = -0.352). Additionally, positive correlations were noted between MEWS and SAS-SF scores (p < 0.001, r = 0.568), SAS-SF and API scores (p < 0.001, r = 0.408), and MEWS and API scores (p < 0.001, r = 0.412).
CONCLUSIONS:The correlation analysis suggests that increased procrastination, mind-wandering, and smartphone addiction may be associated with a decline in psychological well-being. Interventions targeting procrastination, mind-wandering, and smartphone addiction could be effective in improving the psychological well-being of medical students.
