Investigating The Effects Of Cell Phone Use On The Mental Well-Being And Academic Performance Of Pre-Health And Nursing Students.

Scientists have entered the era of the cell phone. Using these drugs is not "quite" safe unless the hazards, which might include cancer and other health issues, are known. Although data on malignancies caused by mobile phone radiation is readily available, further research on the detrimental psychological and physiological impacts is necessary, particularly for heavy users such as college students. "How does mobile phone use affect the mental health of college students enrolled in professional courses at urban institutions?" was the topic that this study set out to address. Procedures and components: A random sample of students (varying in age from 17 to23) from both urban and rural areas were asked to fill out a pre-test questionnaire about the effects of heavy mobile phone use on mental health. The results showed that of the people who reported symptoms, half of them had headaches and half felt irritated or furious. Insomnia, anxiety, and associated illnesses are among the most prevalent mental symptoms, along with trouble focusing and doing well in school. It is crucial to inform young people about the possible mental health hazards of excessive cell phone usage and urge them to take appropriate measures since they are the heaviest mobile phone users. The younger generation has the most mobile phone use, which is why this is the case. Reducing dependence on technology, increasing emphasis on message, and lowering amount of time spent chatting are some of the proposed remedies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
