ALCOBA HEREDIA, P. et al. Dependencia, riesgo de Adicción al Uso del Celular en estudiantes de Medicina en la Universidad San Francisco Xavier, Sucre, 2017. Arch.Boliv.Med. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.97, pp. 16-25. ISSN 0004-0525.
ABSTRACT The present research was carried out with the purpose of identifying the dependence and risk of addiction to the mobile phone in Medicine students at San Francisco Xavier University. The selected approach used in the research was quantitative with a descriptive method of multidisciplinary type, taking into account a population of 345 surveyed students based on the levels of study they are, as well as their gen-der. As we show in the results, the time of use greaterthan three hours, prevails more in wom-en than in men, which faces a possible risk of addiction. Concluding that, this differential prev-alence between genders occurs more in women because of reasons of low self-esteem and / or social approval, while men are oriented towards the use of applications by means of distraction and overcoming.
