Methodology: This is a descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study. 352 interviews were presented, of which 334 were selected corresponding to students dependent on mobile devices. Univariate and bivariate analyzes were performed. Results: This study was carried out in the health faculty, it was found that the dependence on the mobile device is multifactorial. 79% (n = 264) of the students with dependency are young people between 18-23 years old (CI 21,418; 22,211), the dependency is significantly related to individual factors such as academic program and socioeconomic status, interpersonal factors such as discrimination by not having a cell phone and arguing about using it for a long time, and with physical load factors such as posture when using it (p≤.05). Conclusion: The levels of dependence on mobile phones found and their multifactorial behavior with respect to the professional training program and the position of frequent use should attract attention in order to carry out further studies on this problem that is still poorly characterized in Colombia and many other countries. of the world.
