Abstract (English): Introduction. The ease of access to Digital Devices (DD) by young people in Mexico has led them to become part of a multicultural digital community, full of distractions, including social media (SM) and both positive and negative influences. Researchers have a variety of opinions and findings on the subject, ranging from those who believe devices should not be part of young people's education due to their distracting potential and the potential health impacts they can have, to those who point to these devices as an opportunity to enrich learning and encourage self-education. Objective. To determine whether there is an association between the use of DDs, screen time (ST), the use of SS, and academic performance in students enrolled in the Bachelor of Dental Surgery program at a public university in Mexico.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción. El fácil acceso de los jóvenes en México a los dispositivos digitales (DD) los ha llevado a ser parte de una comunidad digital multicultural, llena de distractores, en la que figuran las Redes Sociales (RR. SS.) e influencias positivas y negativas. Las opiniones y los hallazgos de los investigadores que han analizado el tema son múltiples, desde los que consideran que los DD no deberían ser parte de la educación de los jóvenes por su capacidad distractora y las repercusiones que pueden generar en la salud, hasta los que han señalado a estos DD como una oportunidad de enriquecer el aprendizaje y fomentar la autoformación. Objetivo. Determinar si hay una asociación entre el uso de los DD, el tiempo de pantalla (TP), el uso de RR. SS. y el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Cirujano Dentista de una universidad pública de México. Asimismo, describir los hábitos de uso de los DD y las RR. SS., identificar los dispositivos más utilizados y analizar las diferencias según el sexo. Metodología. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal a una muestra de 122 estudiantes de entre 18 y 22 años de segundo y cuarto semestre de la Licenciatura en Cirujano Dentista de la Universidad Autónoma de Nayarit (UAN). Se contrastaron las variables rendimiento académico, TP y RR. SS. con la prueba c2. Resultados. El promedio de TP al día fue de 7.5 horas. No hay relación entre las variables rendimiento académico y TP. De las RR. SS., WhatsApp fue la más utilizada, con un 82% de uso, TikTok con un 78%, Instagram con un 75% y Facebook con un 72%. Conclusiones. No hubo una relación directa entre el uso de DD y el rendimiento académico de esta muestra. Los promedios de calificación en general fueron buenos, ya que el 14.75% está por debajo del 80, lo que lleva a pensar que hacen buen uso de estas herramientas digitales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
