Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Neste estudo pretende-se observar o uso das novas tecnologias e analisar a
adição à internet, a dependência do smartphone, a nomofobia e saúde mental,
comparando as variáveis em estudo em função das variáveis sociodemográficas e dos
comportamentos online, avaliando o grau de associação e determinando o efeito
preditivo entre as variáveis. Participantes: Participaram 305 indivíduos, 229 mulheres
e 75 homens, com idades entre os 18 e os 85 anos. Método: Para a realização da pesquisa
foi elaborado um protocolo, divulgado online, com um questionário sociodemográfico e
os seguintes instrumentos: Internet Addiction Test (IAT), Smartphone Addiction Scale
– Short Version (SAS-SV), Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q-PT) e 10-item Kessler
Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Resultados: Verifica-se adição à internet, ausência
de dependência do smartphone e de nomofobia, e distress psicológico elevado. A relação
entre adição à internet e dependência do smartphone é significativa, positiva e forte, e a
adição à internet e a dependência do smartphone, em conjunto com variáveis
sociodemográficas e variáveis do comportamento online, são preditores significativos da
sintomatologia depressiva e ansiógena. Conclusão: Reafirma-se a importância da
implementação de medidas preventivas e de intervenção para que a implicação negativa
do uso das novas tecnologias seja reduzida nos seus utilizadores.

It seeks to compare the study variables based on sociodemographic characteristics and online behaviors, assess the degree of association, and determine the predictive effect among the variables. Participants: A total of 305 individuals participated, of whom 229 were women and 75 were men, aged between 18 and 85 years. Method: For the research, a protocol was developed and disseminated online, consisting of a sociodemographic questionnaire and the following instruments: Internet Addiction Test (IAT), Smartphone Addiction Scale – Short Version (SAS-SV), Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q-PT), and the 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Results: Findings indicate internet addiction, absence of smartphone dependence and nomophobia, and high psychological distress. The relationship between internet addiction and smartphone dependence is significant, positive, and strong. Additionally, internet addiction and smartphone dependence, along with sociodemographic variables and online behavior variables, are significant predictors of depressive and anxiety symptoms. Conclusion: The findings reinforce the importance of implementing preventive and intervention measures to reduce the negative impact of new technology use on its users.
