    Background: Associations between personality traits and problematic smartphone use (PSU) among individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) have not been widely investigated. The current study aims to assess whether SUD status moderates the association between personality traits and PSU. Methods: The study group included 151 individuals with SUD and a normative sample (NS) comprised of 554 non-SUD students. The following self-report questionnaires were used: the Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS-10) to assess problematic smartphone use (PSU), the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) to assess intensity of internet use, and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) to assess Personality traits. Results: SUD status moderated the association between neuroticism and openness to new experiences on PSU. That is, greater neuroticism and openness were significantly associated with more excessive PSU among the NS. In the SUD group, greater openness was a significant protective factor against PSU. Moderation results were similar when using the IAT (which was significantly correlated with MPPUS) as an outcome. Conclusions: The presence of SUD may influence how personality traits are associated with problematic mobile phone/internet use. Given that this is among one of the first studies examining this topic, findings should be replicated with additional studies

Results: There were no significant differences among the study groups in terms of problem us of mobile phone as measured with MPPUS-10; medians were as follows: PU=31.5 (IQR = 30.2), PP = 33 (IQR = 20.8), GK=35 (IQR = 22). According to MPAAQ, 35.8% of participants met mobile phone addiction criteria, while all other participants were at risk of addiction. MPAAQ medians were: PU=43 (IQR =40), PP=32.5 (IQR = 22.2), GK=31 (IQR = 18) with significant difference between PU and GK, PU and PP (both p < 0.001). Medians of internet addiction measured with IAT were: PU=31 (IQR = 26.5), PP=32 (IQR =10), GK=30 (IQR = 10) with significant difference between PU and PP as well as PP and GK, p = 0.015 and p = 0.012, respectively. Conclusion: Study results suggest high prevalence of mobile phone and internet addiction in Poland. This may indicate common background of substance dependence and behavioral addictions as well as comorbidity of internet addiction with mental disorders.Wst臋p: Uzale偶nienia od nowych technologii stanowi膮 wa偶n膮 grup臋 uzale偶nie艅 behawioralnych, a ich rozpowszechnieniew ostatnich latach wyra藕nie wzrasta. Celem badania by艂a ocena u偶ywania telefon贸w kom贸rkowych i internetuw艣r贸d os贸b uzale偶nionych od substancji psychoaktywnych, pacjent贸w leczonych z powodu zaburze艅 psychicznychoraz student贸w medycyny. Materia艂 i metody: W badaniu wzi臋艂o udzia艂 151 os贸b uzale偶nionych od substancji psychoaktywnych (PU), 183pacjent贸w oddzia艂贸w psychiatrycznych (PP) oraz 613 student贸w uniwersytetu medycznego jako grupa kontrolna (GK).Badanie mia艂o charakter ankietowy; uczestnicy wype艂niali kwestionariusze oceniaj膮ce u偶ywanie telefonu kom贸rkowegoi internetu: Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS-10), Kwestionariusz do Badania Uzale偶nienia od Telefonu Kom贸rkowego(KBUTK) oraz Internet Addiction Test (IAT). Wyniki: Nie stwierdzono r贸偶nic mi臋dzy badanymi grupami pod wzgl臋dem problemowego u偶ywania telefonu kom贸rkowegoocenianego za pomoc膮 skali MPPUS-10. Mediany skali MPPUS-10 wynios艂y: PU = 31,5 (IQR = 30,2),PP = 33 (IQR = 20,8), GK = 35 (IQR = 22). W badanych populacjach, wed艂ug skali KBUTK uzale偶nionych od telefonukom贸rkowego by艂o 35,8% badanych, a pozostali badani byli zagro偶eni uzale偶nieniem. Mediany KBUTK wynosi艂y:PU = 43 (IQR = 40), PP = 32,5 (IQR = 22,2), GK = 31 (IQR = 18). Istotnie statystycznie r贸偶ni艂y si臋 PU i GK oraz PUi PP (p &lt; 0,001). Uzale偶nienie od internetu oceniano wed艂ug skali IAT; mediany: PU = 31 (IQR = 26,5), PP = 32 (IQR= 10), GK = 30 (IQR = 10). Istotnie statystycznie r贸偶nili si臋 PU i PP oraz PP i GK (odpowiednio p = 0,015 i p = 0,012). Wnioski: Uzyskane wyniki mog膮 艣wiadczy膰 o du偶ym rozpowszechnieniu w Polsce uzale偶nienia od telefon贸w kom贸rkowychi internetu. Mog膮 r贸wnie偶 udowadnia膰 wsp贸lne pod艂o偶e uzale偶nie艅 od substancji psychoaktywnych i behawioralnych,a tak偶e cz臋ste wsp贸艂wyst臋powanie uzale偶nienia od internetu z zaburzeniami psychicznymi
