    Abstract

    This study is a descriptive correlation study to identify the characteristics of smartphone usage, smartphone addiction, and physical pain in college students and to identify the correlation between variables. As a result of examining the difference of smartphone addiction according to physical pain, the degree of addiction in the case of physical pain was 32.10 points. There were statistically significant differences between the subscales: pathological commitment of 6.79, life disorder of 7.62, loss of control of 8.70, and obsessive symptom of 8.99. We hope that this study will be used as basic data to improve symptoms of smartphone addiction and physical pain due to the use of smartphone.
