Contenido principal del artículo
El uso intensivo de dispositivos móviles en adolescentes ha generado preocupación por sus efectos psicológicos. Esta investigación tuvo por objetivo confirmar si realmente existe relación entre el uso adictivo del teléfono celular y los niveles de ansiedad en estudiantes de secundaria de la Misión Boliviana Occidental Norte. Se empleó un enfoque cuantitativo, paradigma positivista, diseño no experimental de corte transversal y de alcance descriptivo-correlacional. Los resultados mostraron niveles de ansiedad altos en 161 estudiantes, donde predominó el sexo femenino y el sexto grado de secundaria. Además, las dimensiones de indiferencia, tolerancia y disrupción del uso del celular destacan especialmente en su relación con la ansiedad. En conclusión, se confirmó que existe una relación directa y estadísticamente significativa entre el uso adictivo del celular y los niveles de ansiedad de estos estudiantes.
The intensive use of mobile devices among adolescents has raised concerns regarding its psychological effects. This research aimed to confirm whether a relationship exists between addictive smartphone use and anxiety levels in secondary school students from the Northern Western Bolivian Mission. A quantitative approach was employed, within a positivist paradigm, using a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive-correlational design. The results revealed high anxiety levels in 161 students, with a predominance of female students and those in the sixth year of secondary education. Furthermore, the dimensions of indifference, tolerance, and disruption of smartphone use were particularly prominent in their relationship with anxiety. In conclusion, it was confirmed that there is a direct and statistically significant relationship between addictive smartphone use and the anxiety levels of these students
