SOME NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS EXPERIENCED BY USERS OF MOBILE PHONES: A SURVEY STUDY - CEP TELEFONLARINI KULLANANLAR TARAFINDAN YAŞANAN BAZI NÖROLOJİK BELİRTİLER: ANKET ÇALIŞMASI
Abstract
SOME NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS EXPERIENCED BY USERS OF MOBILE PHONES: A SURVEY STUDY
In the last twenty years, it has been discussed frequently whether there are any harmful effects of
the radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on human health. Among radiofrequency emitting devices, there is
a great importance of mobile (cellular) phones. The aim of this study is to determine the possible
neurological symptoms experienced by users of mobile phones. This survey study was conducted, using a
questionnaire, in randomly selected 229 students at the Vocational School of Kocaeli Health Services. Chisquare
test with Yates correction was used for comparisons of complaint frequencies in relation with sex and
time of mobile phone possessions. As a result of the survey, the study has shown that users of mobile phones
more often complained of extreme irritation, headache and dizziness symptoms according to sex and time of
mobile phone possessions.
CEP TELEFONLARINI KULLANANLAR TARAFINDAN YAŞANAN BAZI NÖROLOJİK BELİRTİLER: ANKET ÇALIŞMASI
Son yirmi yılda, radyo frekans elektromanyetik alanların insan sağlığı üzerine zararlı etkisinin olup
olmadığı sık tartışılmaktadır. Radyo frekans yayan aletler arasında cep telefonlarının önemli bir yeri vardır.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, cep telefonu kullananlar tarafından yaşanan olası nörolojik belirtileri belirlemektir. Bu
çalışma, Kocaeli Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulundan rasgele seçilen 229 öğrenciye bir anket
uygulanarak düzenlendi. Yates düzeltmeli Ki-Kare testi, cep telefonuna sahip olma zamanı ve/veya cinsiyet
ile ilişkili şikayet frekanslarının karşılaştırılması için kullanıldı. Anket çalışmasının bir sonucu olarak, cep
telefonu kullanıcılarının, cinsiyet ve cep telefonuna sahip olma zamanına göre aşırı sinirlilik, baş ağrısı ve
baş dönmesi belirtilerinde artış görüldü(P<0.05).
