본 연구는 COVID-19로 인한 사회적 거리두기를 경험한 대학생의 사회·정서적 고립감, 우울, 스마트폰 중독 간의 관계를 살펴보고 대학생의 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 주는 요인을 파악하기 위해 시도되 었다. 본 연구에 참여한 대상자는 4개 대학교에 재학 중인 220명이며, 자료수집은 구글 폼으로 설문지를 구성하여 시행하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS/WIN 28.0 프로그램을 이용하여 변수의 특성에 따라 통계적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과, 대학생의 스마트폰 중독은 사회·정서적 고립감(r=.44, p<.001), 우울(r=.51, p<.001)과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 대학생의 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 주는 요인은 성별(β =.176, p=.001), 주말 스마트폰 사용 시간 7-9시간(β=.387, p=.001), 10-12시간(β=.313, p=.006), 12시 간 이상(β=.299, p=<.001), 우울(β=.302, p<.001), 사회·정서적 고립감(β=.210, p=.004)이었다. 회귀모 형은 통계적으로 유의하였으며 (F=15.81, p<.001) 모형의 설명력은 43% (adj R2=.43, p<.001)였다. 따라 서 대학생의 스마트폰 중독을 예방하기 위해 사회·정서적 고립감과 우울을 감소시킬 수 있는 정신건강 증 진 프로그램을 개발하여 활용할 필요가 있다.
