The Turkish Version of the Smartphone Impact Scale

October 5, 2024 updated by: Tansu Birinci, Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa (IUC)

The Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Smartphone Impact Scale

Smartphone Impact Scale (SIS) was originally developed in English to determine the cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral impacts of smartphones in everyday life. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SIS instrument into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties.

Detailed Description

Smartphone Impact Scale (SIS) was originally developed in English to determine the cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral impacts of smartphones in everyday life. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SIS instrument into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. Two hundred healthy young adults will include. For cross-cultural adaptation, two bi-lingual translators used the back-translation procedure. Within a 5-to-7-day period after the first assessment, the participants completed the Turkish version of SIS (SIS-T) to evaluate test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha (α) was used to assess internal consistency. The correlations with the Turkish version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS-T) and Turkish version of the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP-T) will determine to check the validity.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 35 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Smartphone Impact Scale
Time Frame: Baseline (First assessment)
The Smartphone Impact Scale is a reliable and scale for evaluating cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral impacts of smartphones in everyday life. It assesses loss of control of smartphone use ,nomophobia, smartphone-mediated communication, emotion regulation through smartphone usage, smartphone support to romantic relationships, smartphone tasks support, and awareness of smartphone negative impact. A high score in the subscales shows a higher negative impact of smartphone on cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral aspects.
Baseline (First assessment)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Smartphone Impact Scale
Time Frame: Within a 5-to-7-day period after the first assessment (Second assessment)
The Smartphone Impact Scale is a reliable and scale for evaluating cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral impacts of smartphones in everyday life. It assesses loss of control of smartphone use ,nomophobia, smartphone-mediated communication, emotion regulation through smartphone usage, smartphone support to romantic relationships, smartphone tasks support, and awareness of smartphone negative impact. A high score in the subscales shows a higher negative impact of smartphone on cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral aspects.
Within a 5-to-7-day period after the first assessment (Second assessment)
Smartphone Addiction Scale
Time Frame: Baseline (First assessment)
Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) is a self-reported scale developed by Kwon et al. based on internet addiction and the features of smartphones in 20135. The scale consisted of 33 items rated on a 6-point Likert-type scale from 1 to 6. A high total score in the scale, which has no cut-off score, shows a smartphone addiction risk. The Turkish version of SAS (SAS-T), which was previously reported as a reliable instrument, will use in the present study.
Baseline (First assessment)
Nottingham Health Profile
Time Frame: Baseline (First assessment)
Nottingham Health Profile is patient-completed questionnaire used to determine and quantify perceived health problems. Composed of 38 items divided into six domains: 1) sleep, 2) mobility, 3) energy, 4) pain, 5) emotional reactions, 6) social isolation. Total Score ranges from 0 (no perceived distress) to 100 (maximum perceived distress). The Turkish version of Nottingham Health Profile, which was previously reported as a reliable and valid instrument, will use in the present study.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
