Revisión Sistemática: Modalidades De Tratamiento Aplicadas a La Adicción/abuso Del Teléfono Móvil (smartphone)
Year: 2022
Type: article
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Introduction: There is a lack of consensus on the addictive or non-addictive nature of excessive mobile phone use, but we have a vast number of studies exploring its prevalence, which is usually very high in all current societies. This problem is associated with serious consequences, so it is to be expected that therapeutic approaches have been tried. Methods: This study is a systematic review of articles that have applied some type of treatment for smartphone addiction/abuse. The international databases PsycInfo, Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, MEDLINE and OpenDissertations were reviewed for articles in English using any type of treatment. Results: Only two articles met criteria. In both cases, they are very low-evidence studies, impossible to replicate, and had poor results. Discussion: There is no correspondence between the magnitude of the problem observed in scientific literature and the healthcare response that such a problem should generate. This is an argument from those who consider it inappropriate to consider the excessive/abusive use of smartphones as an addictive behavior, since the consequences for individuals and society are in no way comparable. Conclusions: There is a need for studies that propose treatment alternatives for people who have lost control over their behavior and that will allow them to recover it.
