Abstract

Introduction: The proliferation of information and communication tech�nology, particularly handheld electronic devices, has resulted in a signif�icant portion of the population becoming ensnared in a perpetual reli�ance on smartphones. The prevalence of technological devices has led to a significant dependency among students. Approximately 30 million in�dividuals, constituting approximately 80% of the user population in In�donesia, are students. This behaviour frequently leads individuals to lose track of time during late hours, as they habitually resort to incessantly monitoring their electronic devices as a means of evading social interac�tions on online platforms. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between gadget usage and sleep quality. Methods: The present study employed a quantitative approach utilizing a cross-sec�tional design. This study employed comparative statistical analysis to ex�amine the correlation between gadget usage and the sleep quality of stu�dents at STIKes Karsa Husada Garut. Results:: The data analysis using the Chi-square test yielded a p-value of less than 0.05, suggesting a sig�nificant association between the utilization of Gadgets and the quality of sleep among nursing students at STIKes Karsa Husada Garut. Conclu�sion: the utilization of electronic devices had a notable impact on the sleep quality of final-year students at STIKes Karsa Husada Garut. A neg�ative correlation can be interpreted as indicating an inverse relationship between the use of gadgets and sleep quality, such that an increase in gadget usage is associated with a decrease in sleep quality and vice versa.
