The more time they spend using their gadgets, the more unsafe they are. Improper usage of gadgets affects the health of students -mentally, emotionally, and physically. This study aimed to determine if there is an effect of the gadget usage to the mental health of the San Jacinto National High School- Senior High School students in terms of Intellectual and Psychological. The study used Stratified- Representative Sampling to choose 50 respondents and used Percentage, Average Weighted Mean, and Pearson-R as their statistical treatment. The results shows that the most of the respondents came from the group of age 16-17 years old with a percentage of 78% while the least number of respondents came from the age group of 20 years old and above with a percentage of 2% and 54% of the respondents is Male then the other 46% are Female. It also shows that the mental health of San Jacinto National High SchoolSenior High School students in terms of intellectual was affected by the gadget usage (AWM=3.606), but there is neither affected nor not affected in terms of Psychological Factor. Address: Guibel/Capaoay, San Jacinto, Pangasinan Telephone No: (075) 653-0010/600-3641 VII When it comes to the intervention of Intellectual and Psychological, both of the factors are affected with an AWM of 3.696 and 3.802 respectively. Lastly, the correlation of Intellectual Factors to Intervention and Psychological Factors to Interventions are both correlated to each other having 0.1638 and 0.1124, respectively, rejecting the null hypothesis making the gadget usage had a significant relationship to the Intellectual factor & Intervention and Psychological Factor & Intervention Address: Guibel/Capaoay, San Jacinto, Pangasinan Telephone No: (075) 653-0010/600-3641 VIII CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND This chapter served as an introductory chapter. It contains the Background of the Study, Theoretical Framework, Conceptual Framework, Statement of the Problem, Hypothesis of the Study, Scope and Delimitation, Significance of the Study, and Definition of Terms. RATIONALE The use of electronic gadgets, especially mobile phones among youth, has been a growing global concern such as in the case students from senior high school students wherein they are phased by an array of effects of gadget use on their mental health (Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care, p.139-145, 2021). Currently, people in this era of living are fond of using gadgets such as cellular phones, tablets, and computers. They use these gadgets for playing online games, updating their social media accounts, communicating with loved ones, and especially for educational purposes, in this case, students use gadgets at school. It seems like students cannot live a day without using their gadgets. They are, at times, no longer aware of their limitation. The more time they spend using their gadgets, the more unsafe they are. Improper usage of gadgets affects the health of students -mentally, emotionally, and physically. In terms of mental health, the cases of students experiencing various effects of gadget use are increasing as a result of it. The researchers are seeking to determine the statistical difference between gadgets' positive, negative, and/or neutral effects of gadget usage on students. Address: Guibel/Capaoay, San Jacinto, Pangasinan Telephone No: (075) 653-0010/600-3641 1 Students experiencing the mental effects of gadgets are very relevant in today's generation where all types of technologies are deployed. As observed, students who overuse gadgets seem most affected. The easy life that technology promised is utterly a myth due to the wrong decision and actions of people. Gadget users especially students should set boundaries on their usage of gadgets. It is to increase the positive and lessen its negative impacts on the mental health of Senior High School students.

Gadget addiction is a predictor of melancholy, anxiety, stress, and sleep difficulties, according to (Surat et al., 2021). The results of the research are anticipated to help various parties, especially teenagers and parents, identify the factors that can lead to mental health issues and also serve as a guide in helping this group reduce their dependence on this gadget. The findings of the descriptive analysis show that the level of addiction, depression, anxiety, and stress among the trainers is high (pr. 2 & 4). Additionally, adaptive decision-making is a new theoretical framework that incorporates theories from the psychology literature to address two particular issues. First, to more closely match the temporal aspects of lifestyle behaviors and their accompanying digital data, our framework portrays lifestyle behaviors at two levels—one of the individual daily decisions (action level) and one of broader behavioral episodes (J. Med, 2021). This brings us to the COGNITIVE GADGETS THEORY, which claims that human function, including mental function, is essentially the result of biological evolution. Our minds have developed through millennia to the point that we all think essentially the same way, combining instinctive, instinctual processes ("thinking fast") and more deliberate, analytical techniques ("thinking slow"). Due to the fact that thinking quickly needs significantly less mental work than thinking slowly, evolution has favored the former over the latter. Of course, learning new information that enhances our cognitive capacities, like learning to read, is Address: Guibel/Capaoay, San Jacinto, Pangasinan Telephone No: (075) 653-0010/600-3641 4 possible. However, this is demanding and challenging and only works if we overcome some of the evolutionary roadblocks on our path. Simply put, as Dan Willingham put it, "our minds are not built to think." Hence, The Cognitive Gadgets Theory suggests that uniquely human cognitive mechanisms are quick to adapt and change to meet the demands of new social and physical environments. Rather than taxing an outdated mind, new technologies—social media, robotics, and virtual reality—merely serve as the catalyst for the further cultural evolution of the human mind (Riley, 2021). STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study aims to identify the Gadget Usage: A Quantitative Research Regarding Using of Gadget towards Mental Health of San Jacinto National High School – Senior High School Students, along with the main problem, this research would also like to know: 1.

A. Related Literature Local Literature According to Arreola (2020), The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant toll on economies and people of all nations and of all ages, from all walks of life, across the globe. Social media and virtual meetings, domestically and across the globe, have become the “new normal” as people strive to keep normalcy in their lives amid pandemic restrictions. Here in the Philippines, Digital 2020 April Statshot report by Hootsuite and We Are Social revealed that 64% of Filipino internet users are spending more time on social media. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has subjected the mental health and well-being of Filipino children under drastic conditions. While children are more vulnerable to these detriments, there remains the absence of unified and comprehensive strategies in mitigating the deterioration of the mental health of Filipino children. Existing interventions focus on more general solutions that fail to acknowledge the circumstances that a Filipino child is subjected under. Moreover, these strategies also fail to address the multilayered issues faced by a lower-middle-income country, such as the Philippines. As the mental well-being of Address: Guibel/Capaoay, San Jacinto, Pangasinan Telephone No: (075) 653-0010/600-3641 10 Filipino children continues to be neglected, a subsequent and enduring mental health epidemic can only be expected for years to come (Malolos et al., 2021) Foreign Literature Before the COVID-19 pandemic, studies in 2018 and 2019 recommended limiting the use of gadgets by adolescents to 3-4 hours a day because prolonged use can interfere with learning and cognition related activities. The use of gadgets also needs to be limited so that adolescents are more productive in using their time, and have social interactions with their environment (Beng et al., 2020). Technology has provided a type of facility in the world that currently makes the world like a virtual globe. One of the technologies currently used by humans is gadgets. Generally, children and adolescents nowadays often use gadget excessively. They use it excessively which may affect their social and emotional functions (Wahyuni et al., 2019). Basically, children and adolescents nowadays often use intense gadgets. They use it excessively which can affect their social and emotional function. The majority of children and adolescents have smartphones, laptops, game consoles, tablets, iPod . The use of electronic gadgets has greatly increased in the contemporary world, particularly among children, as a result of addiction. But recognition gadget for children can have positive and negative impacts. These are influenced by several factors such as the frequency, duration, and supervision of parents. Using gadgets as a basic material for learning in children will have positive impacts such as increasing children’s creativity and thinking. It can appear with parents and children, as well firm in providing time limits for children in playing Address: Guibel/Capaoay, San Jacinto, Pangasinan Telephone No: (075) 653-0010/600-3641 11 gadget. Likewise the opposite, if the supervision of parents is lacking and there is no firm effort in providing time limits of playing gadget in children, can cause negative effects. The children may develop to negative characters such as shy, lacking confident, lonely and stubborn. According to Ayu et al. (2020), the high number of mobile gadget usage by parents has increased its usage by the children, resulting positive and negative effects. One of the negative effects is mental health problems. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their children's mobile gadget usage and check their emotional status. This research aims at investigating the relationship between the mobile gadget usage based on American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation and children's mental health status based on the Mental Health Problem Questionnaire (KMEE). B. Related Study Local Study According to Cleofas and Rocha(2021), in the context of the nationwide shift to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its possible effect on mental health, this study investigated the relationship between demographic, gadget and Internet profiles, and disease and consequence related COVID-19 anxiety among Filipino college students. They suggest that majority of the student respondents had high levels of disease and consequence related COVID-19 anxiety. Students from poorer Address: Guibel/Capaoay, San Jacinto, Pangasinan Telephone No: (075) 653-0010/600-3641 12 households, who do not own laptops and desktop computers, and those with limited Internet connection exhibited higher levels of disease-related COVID-19 anxiety. Younger, poorer, female students who were enrolled in lower year levels, do not own laptops or tablets, and have limited or borrowed Internet connectivity demonstrated higher levels of consequence-related COVID-19 anxiety. Foreign Study Use of technological gadgets has rapidly been increasing among adolescents, which may result in health issues and technology addiction (Rashid, 2021). Problematic smartphone use (PSU) is the development of pathological dependence at the expense of performing activities of daily living, thus having negative health and psychological impact on the users (Nasser et al., 2020). According to Demirci et al. (2015), the usage of smartphones has increased rapidly in recent years, and this has brought about addiction. The findings of their study revealed that the Smartphone Addiction Scale scores of females were significantly higher than those of males. Depression, anxiety, and daytime dysfunction scores were higher in the high smartphone use group than in the low smartphone use group. Positive correlations were found between the Smartphone Addiction Scale scores and depression levels, anxiety levels, and some sleep quality scores. Address: Guibel/Capaoay, San Jacinto, Pangasinan Telephone No: (075) 653-0010/600-3641 13 Their study conclude that the results indicate that depression, anxiety, and sleep quality may be associated with smartphone overuse. Such overuse may lead to depression and/or anxiety, which can in turn result in sleep problems. University students with high depression and anxiety scores should be carefully monitored for smartphone addiction. There is also another study made by Dr. Swaroop N. et al. (2021) the study said that, the Mobile Phone Culture is most widely spreading in the present era. It has become an essential part of modern life and is playing a vital role in decreasing distance and increasing communication among people. Mobile phone has affected almost every field of life but its effects on students learning especially at college level are deep and are multidimensional. With the passage of time, the darker side of technology is also revealed. Mobile devices have both positive and negative effects on human health and behavior. It was observed in their study that many students use mobile phones excessively and inappropriately. They are giving more preference for mobile phone usage than their health and academics. As mobile phone usage is highly prevalent among college students their impact on mental health and academic performance should be discussed and judicial use recommended.
