Abstract Abstract
Background: The Internet is one of many media platforms and a highly accessible communication tool that offers a wealth of information. Academicians use technologies like laptops, tablets, and projectors more commonly than other professionals to ensure that the material presented in cooperative learning is current and applicable. Overusing screens can lead to disturbing consequences for both physical and mental health, ultimately affecting overall quality of life."
Aim: "The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between prolonged screen use and occupational efficiency."
Objective: To evaluate screen addiction and work ability among university academicians.
Methodology: This observational study involved one hundred sixty university academicians from various academic institutions in and around Mangalore. Participants were screened and selected based on the inclusion criteria. Selected participants were given a screen time addiction questionnaire and a work ability index to complete. The completed questionnaires were then collected and analyzed.
Result; The analysis discovered that all participants utilized digital devices for academic purposes, with most reporting excessive screen time, which is more than five hours. Despite having moderate to high mental capacities, participants reported moderate to severe work impairment due to disease, and the further revealed that screen addiction substantially impairs work performance."
Conclusion: These results imply that to retain maximum productivity, universities should put policies in place to encourage healthy screen-use behaviour. Interventions aimed at reducing the detrimental impacts of screen addiction on job capacity should be directed towards all people, irrespective of gender.
