Brief Summary
The increasing rate of usage of smartphones ushers in various health problems and smartphone addiction. In the literature, the research focused mainly on the relationship between smartphone addiction and depression, anxiety and musculoskeletal system problems; however, the number of studies on fatigue was limited. We believe that this paper will be of interest to the readers of your journal because it adds information about the effect of smartphone addiction on physical activity, on sleep quality and especially on fatigue.

Interventions
The Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS) was developed by Piper et al. to measure fatigue in a multi-dimensional manner. The scale assesses the behavioural, affective, sensory and cognitive/mood attributes of fatigue and contains 22 items and 5 open-ended questions. Each item is scored between 0 and 10 using a Visual Analogue Scale. Sub-scale scores are obtained by dividing the scores from the sub-scale items by the number of the items in the sub-scale. The same method is used to calculate the total score
