Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the relationship between smartphone addiction and quality of life among students with disabilities. The method used was quantitative with a correlational design. The participants involved in this study were 33 students with disabilities chosen using snowball sampling. The research measurement used the Smartphone Addiction Scale (α = 0.943) and WHOQOL-BREF (α = 0.941). The results showed that there was no significant negative relationship between smartphone addiction and quality of life among students with disabilities (r = -0.238 and sig. = 0.091). These results indicate that the failure to achieve a quality of life for students with disabilities is not caused by smartphone addiction tendency. The use of smartphones can be controlled in a balanced way by students with disabilities in their daily activities so that it does not have a negative impact on their quality of life.
