Technostress, technology addiction, technodependence and its health consequences in modern times

Mexico and Colombia share characteristics in terms of broad access and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) ICT, it is therefore important to determine the existence of factors that affect the quality of life of their population.

description	Mexico and Colombia share characteristics in terms of broad access and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) ICT, it is therefore important to determine the existence of factors that affect the quality of life of their population. The objective of this study was to establish the presence of negative and positive effects by evaluating physical and emotional consequences of the use of ICT and determine the presence of technostress, technology addiction and technodependence. The sample included 932 men and 1 094 women, who worked in labor organizations in both countries. The average age was 28 years, and the majority had an educational level higher than high school (88.4 %). The three scales used obtained adequate fit indices and high ordinal alpha coefficients, indicating strong internal consistency. Structural equation modeling revealed that technostress was influenced by technology addiction and technodependence. “Compulsive use of ICT” of technology positively predicted technostress in its “rejection of TIC” and “displeasure the use of TIC” dimensions. Technodependence positively and negatively predicted aspects of technostress. A second predictive model determined that the dimensions “displeasure” (technostress), “excessive use” (technology addiction) and “phubbing” (technodependence) positively predicted physical pain and emotional distress. These findings suggest that excessive and dependent use of technology can generate technostress, negatively affecting physical and emotional health. The results show the need to carry out and disseminate social programs that allow developing individual capacities towards optimal use of digital tools, besides implementing strategies that allow the population to enjoy the benefits of the use of ICT, without being affected by the impact on health that the maladaptive use of ICTs entails.

México y Colombia comparten características en cuanto al amplio acceso y uso de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC), por lo que es importante determinar la existencia de factores asociados a estas tecnologías que afecten la calidad de vida de su población. El objetivo de este estudio fue establecer la presencia de efectos negativos y positivos evaluando consecuencias físicas y emocionales por el uso o desuso de las TIC y determinar la presencia de tecnoestrés, tecnoadicción y tecnodependencia. La muestra incluyó a 932 hombres y 1 094 mujeres, que trabajaban en organizaciones laborales de ambos países. La edad promedio fue de 28 años y la mayoría con nivel educativo superior al bachillerato (88.4 %). Las tres escalas utilizadas obtuvieron adecuados índices de ajuste y altos coeficientes alfa ordinales, indicando fuerte consistencia interna. Mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales se estableció que el tecnoestrés se vio influido por la tecnoadicción y la tecnodependencia. El “uso compulsivo de las TIC” predijo positivamente el tecnoestrés en sus dimensiones de “rechazo de TIC” y “displacer del uso de TIC”. La tecnodependencia predijo de manera positiva y negativa aspectos del tecnoestrés. Un segundo modelo predictivo determinó que, las dimensiones “displacer” (tecnoestrés) y “uso excesivo de TIC” (tecnoadicción) predijeron positivamente el dolor físico y el malestar emocional, por lo que estos hallazgos sugieren que el uso excesivo y dependiente de la tecnología puede generar tecnoestrés, afectando negativamente la salud física y emocional. Los resultados muestran la necesidad de realizar y difundir programas sociales que permitan desarrollar capacidades individuales hacia un uso óptimo de las herramientas digitales, además de implementar estrategias que permitan a la población disfrutar de los beneficios del uso de las TIC, sin verse afectados en la salud por el impacto que conlleva el uso desadaptativo de las mismas.
