Resumo: Objective: To investigate the different levels of smartphone dependence in university students of Campina Grande - PB, on Covid-19 pandemic context. Methodology: This is a descriptive and quantitative study, and was made virtually on Google Forms. The present article evaluates the Smartphone Dependence Scale (SDS) and a Socioeconomic Questionnaire. Variables were analyzed by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) - 20.0. Results: in total, 155 students were included, 115 female and 40 male, with an average of 21.5±4,24 years old. The participants were categorized in four levels of dependence, according to SDS score, I-) No dependence II-) Low dependence, III-) Moderate dependence and IV-) High dependence. There was a gender divergence on the group of high dependence, so that 26,08% of women had high dependence, while just 10% of men were in this group. The average time reported by the sample was 7 hours and 6 minutes of smartphone daily usage. Conclusion: About 47,75% participants showed, even in moderate expressions, differents aspects of problematic usage, like restricted and compulsive use, social and emotional isolation, mood swing, sleep disturbance and problems on performing daily activities, with damages in the physical, psychic and social areas of life. It is considered that the habits of technology usage during the pandemic isolation accentuated the negative symptoms of dependence and problematic usage of smartphones.

Metodología: El estudio fue de carácter descriptivo y cuantitativo, siendo realizado virtualmente en la plataforma Google Forms. El presente artículo evalúa la Escala de Dependencia de Smartphone (EDS), y un cuestionario socioeconómico. Las variables fueron analizadas en el programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) – 20.0. Resultados: Participaron de la investigación 155 estudiantes, siendo 115 del género femenino y 40 del género masculino, con promedio de edad de 21,5±4,24 años. Los participantes fueron clasificados en cuatro niveles de dependencia por la puntuación del score en la EDS, siendo ellos: I-) Sin dependencia; II-) Baja dependencia; III-) Dependencia moderada y IV-) Alta dependencia. Hubo divergencia por género en el grupo de alta dependencia, de modo que 26,08% de las mujeres presentaron alta dependencia, mientras que 10% de los hombres se encuentran en este grupo. El promedio de tiempo de uso diario de smartphone relatada por la muestra fue de 7 horas y 6 minutos. Conclusión: Aproximadamente 47,75% de los participantes presentan, todavía que en expresiones moderadas, aspectos del uso problemático de smartphone, como uso compulsivo y restricto, aislamiento socioemocional, alteraciones en el humor, en el sueño y en la ejecución de tareas, con perjuicios en las esferas físicas, síquicas y sociales. Se toma en consideración que los hábitos en el uso de tecnología durante el aislamiento pandémico acentuaron los síntomas negativos de los cuadros de dependencia y del uso problemático de smartphone.Objetivo: Investigar os diferentes níveis de dependência de Smartphone em estudantes universitários de Campina Grande - PB, no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19.
