Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin fiziksel aktivite düzeyi, akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ve yaşam kalitesinin incelenmesi ve aralarındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Çalışmaya 216 kadın ve 181 erkek olmak üzere toplam 397 katılımcı katılmıştır. Katılımcılar uluslararası fiziksel aktivite ölçeği (kısa form), akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ve yaşam kalitesi ölçeklerini doldurmuştur. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 24 istatistik programı aracılığıyla tanımlayıcı istatistiklerin yanı sıra, normal dağılım sonucuna göre bağımsız ikili değişkenlerin karşılaştırılması için Bağımsız T testi, değişkenler arasındaki ilişki için Pearson korelasyon testi uygulanmıştır. Çalışma sonunda katılımcıların çoğunluğunun fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin orta düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca yaşam kalitesi, fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ve akıllı telefon bağımlılığı cinsiyet açısından karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Katılımcıların fiziksel aktivite puanları ile yaşam kalitesi puanları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunurken, yaşam kalitesi ile akıllı telefon bağımlılığı puanları arasında negatif yönde çok anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Akıllı telefon, internet vb. bağımlılıklar hakkında seminer ya da eğitimler verilerek üniversite öğrencilerinin bilinçlendirilmesi ve bu sayede yaşam kalitelerinin iyileştirilmesine yardımcı olunabilir. Bunun yanı sıra kampüs içi rekreatif alanlarının oluşturulması veya arttırılmasıyla fiziksel aktivite yapma motivasyonu veya alışkanlığı arttırılabilir.

Investigation of Physical Activity Level, Smartphone Addiction and Quality of Life of University Students

Abstract

The aim of the study is to examine the physical activity level, smartphone addiction and quality of life of university students and to determine the relationship between them. A total of 397 participants, 221 women and 182 men participated in the study. Participants filled out the international physical activity scale (short form), smartphone addiction, and quality of life scales. In the analysis of the data, in addition to descriptive statistics through SPSS 24 statistical program, Independent T test was applied for the comparison of independent binary variables according to the result of normal distribution, and Pearson correlation test was applied for the relationship between variables. At the end of the study, it was seen that the majority of the participants had a moderate level of physical activity. In addition, when quality of life, physical activity level, and smartphone addiction were compared in terms of gender, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). While there was a significant positive correlation between the participants' physical activity scores and quality of life scores, a very significant negative correlation was found between quality of life and smartphone addiction scores (p<0.05). By providing seminar and similar training on smartphone, internet and similar addictions, university students can be made aware of and their quality of life can be improved. In addition, by creating or increasing recreational areas on campus, motivation or habits for physical activity can be increased.
