Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığının Belirleyicisi Olarak Psikolojik İyi Oluş: Sağlık Çalışanları Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Sosyal medya, günümüzün en önemli iletişim araçlarından biri olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Türkiye’deki nüfusun neredeyse yüzde 63’ü (yaklaşık 52 milyon kişi) sosyal medya kullanmaktadır (www.fundalina.com). Bilgilenme, kimlik sunumu, sosyal etkileşimler, uygulamalar ve gizlilik dâhil birçok yönden hayatı kolaylaştıran sosyal medya, gereğinden fazla kullanıldığında bağımlılık oluşturabilmektedir. Sosyal medya bağımlılığı, davranışsal bağımlılık semptomlarında kendini gösteren bir türdür ve birçok psikolojik faktörle ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. İşte bu araştırmayla, Konya merkezdeki sağlık çalışanlarının sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile psikolojik iyi oluş düzeyleri arasındaki ilişki tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Saha araştırması yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada veriler, 400 katılımcıdan yüz yüze anket tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda katılımcıların orta düzey sosyal medya bağımlılığına sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Sosyal medyanın günlük kullanım süresi ve haftalık kullanım sıklığı arttıkça, sosyal medya bağımlılığı da artmaktadır. Bunun yanında eğitim seviyesi ve yaş arttıkça, sosyal medya bağımlılık düzeyinde bir düşüş yaşanmaktadır. Ayrıca katılımcıların yaşı arttıkça, sosyal medya bağımlılık riskinin de azaldığı görülmüştür.  Yine araştırmada psikolojik iyi oluş düzeyinin, sosyal medya bağımlılık puanını negatif yönde anlamlı biçimde yordadığı ortaya konulmuştur.

Psychological Well-Being as a Predictor of Social Media Addiction: A Survey on Health Workers

Abstract

Social media stand out as one of the most important communication tools of today. Nearly 63 percent of Turkey's population (approximately 52 million people) (www.fundalina.com) uses social media. Social media, which facilitate life in many ways, including information, identity presentation, social interactions, practices and privacy, can create addiction when used more than necessary. Social media addiction is a manifestation of addictive behavioral symptoms and is associated with many psychological factors. With this study, we attempted to reveal the extent of the relationship between social media addiction and the psychological well-being of health workers in central Konya. The data were collected from 400 participants by face to face questionnaire technique. As a result of the research, it was determined that the participants had medium level social media addiction. Social media addiction increases as the period of daily social media usage and the frequency of weekly social media usage increase. Our study indicates that, as the education level and age increase, there is a decrease in the level of social media addiction. In addition, as the age of the participants increased, the risk of social media addiction decreased. In the study, it was also found that psychological well-being significantly predicted the score of social media addiction negatively.
