Abstract
Background: Addiction is always harmful to the human body. Smartphone addiction also
affects students' mental and physical health.
Aim: This study aims to determine the research volume conducted on students who are affected by
smartphone addiction and design a database. We intended to highlight critical problems for future research. In
addition, this paper enterprises a comprehensive and opinion-based image of smartphone-addicted students.
Methodology: We used two types of methods, such as systematic literature review and research questions
based on the Scopus database to complete this study. We found 27 research articles and 11885 subjects
(mean ±SD: 440.19 ± 513.58) using the PRISMA technique in this study. Additionally, we have deeply
investigated evidence to retrieve the current understanding of smartphone addiction from physical changes,
mental changes, behavioural changes, impact on performance, and significant concepts. Furthermore,
the effect of this addiction has been linked to cancers, oxidative stress, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Results: This work has also revealed the future direction and research gap on smartphone addiction
among students and has also tried to provide goals for upcoming research to be accomplished more significantly
and scientifically.
Conclusion: This study suggests future analysis towards identifying novel molecules and pathways for
the treatment and decreasing the severity of mobile addiction.
Keywords:
Addiction, brain, education, health, mobile, neurological disorders, nervous system, oxidative stress, student, scopus, side effect, systematic literature review, electromagnetic field, radiations.
