Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the rate of smartphone addiction in university students, factors that influence this addiction and the relationship between smartphone usage and headache.
Materials and Methods: This study is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. Sampling was performed using the sample determination formula for a known population. In the collection of data, socio-demographic characteristics, variables related to headache and “The Smartphone Addiction Inventory – Short Form (SPAI-SF)” were used. Data were evaluated using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the independent t-test, the Chi-square analysis and logistic regression analysis, and were expressed as counts, percentages and mean±standard deviation.
Results: Of the participants, 56.6% were female, 43.4% were male; 55.2% were aged 20 and under, 61.4% were living with their parents and 33.5% were living in a dormitory. 86.3% of the students stated that they used their smartphones for messaging and/or calling, 72.7% for internet, 69.4% for social media etc. While 32.7% of the students were addicted to their smartphones, 67.7% were not. A significant relationship was found between the status of smartphone addiction of the students and the frequency of headaches, the severity of headaches, the duration of daily smartphone usage and the duration of smartphone usage before sleep (p<0.05). Being a male, a one unit increase in the age of first-time smartphone use and smartphone addiction status increase the frequency of headaches by respectively 2.123 times, 1.147 times and 2.216 times (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In our study, it was found that approximately one third of the students were addicted to smartphones. The relationship between smartphone usage and headache was proven by the high SPAI-SF scores of students who had frequent and severe headaches. Informing students about the negative effects of excessive smartphone usage on health is recommended.

Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılıkları ve Baş Ağrısı İle İlişkisi

Year 2022, Issue: 14, 199 - 217, 30.09.2022
https://doi.org/10.32579/mecmua.1168802

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma üniversite öğrencilerinin akıllı telefon bağımlılık oranını, etkileyen faktörlerini ve akıllı telefon kullanımının baş ağrısı ile ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Gerekçe ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Örnekleme, bilinen bir popülasyon için örnek belirleme formülü kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyodemografik özellikler, baş ağrısı ile ilgili değişkenler ve “Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Envanteri – Kısa Form (SPAI-SF)” kullanılmıştır. Veriler tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), bağımsız t-testi, Ki-kare analizi ve lojistik regresyon analizi kullanılarak değerlendirildi ve sayılar, yüzdeler ve ortalama±standart sapma olarak ifade edildi.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların, %56,6’sı kadın, %43.4’ü erkektir, %55.2’si 20 yaş ve altı yaş grubunda olup %61.4’ü aile evinde %33.5’i yurtta kalmaktadır. Öğrencilerin %86.3’ü mesaj ve/veya telefon açmak için, %72.7’si internet kullanmak için, %69.4’ü sosyal medya kullanmak için vb. nedenlerle akıllı telefon kullandıklarını belirtmektedirler. Öğrencilerin %32.7’si akıllı telefon bağımlısıyken %67.7’si de akıllı telefon bağımlısı değildir. Öğrencilerin akıllı telefon bağımlılık durumuyla baş ağrısı sıklığı, baş ağrısı şiddeti, akıllı telefonları günlük kullanım süresi ve akıllı telefonları uykudan önce kullanım süresi arasında anlamlılık bulunmaktadır (p<0.05). Öğrencilerin erkek olma durumu 2.123 kat, ilk akıllı telefon kullanım yaşındaki bir birimlik artış 1.147 kat ve akıllı telefon bağımlısı olma durumu ise 2.216 kat baş ağrısı sıklığını arttırmaktadır (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda öğrencilerin yaklaşık üçte biri akıllı telefon bağımlısıdır. Öğrencilerin akıllı telefon kullanımının baş ağrısı ile ilişkisi, sık sık baş ağrısı çekenlerin ve baş ağrısı şiddetli olanların ATBÖ-KF puanlarının yüksek bulunmasıyla anlaşılmaktadır. Aşırı akıllı telefon kullanımının sağlık üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri hakkında bilgilendirici faaliyetler yapılması önerilebilir.
