COVID-19 Döneminde Ergenlerin Akıllı Telefon Alışkanlıklarına ve İnternet Bağımlılık Durumlarına Sistematik Bir Bakış

Öz

Covid-19 salgın döneminde virüsün yayılmasını engellemek için birçok ülkede sosyal mesafeyi koruma, karantina uygulamaları, okulların kapalı tutulması gibi önlemler alınmıştır. Eve kapanmalarla ile birlikte azalan kişilerarası ilişkileri yeniden sağlamak için bu süreçte bireylerin internet kullanımı da artmıştır. Ek olarak salgın döneminde yüz yüze gerçekleştirilmesi riskli olan eğitim faaliyetlerinin pek çok ülkede olduğu gibi çevrimiçi platformlara taşınması, ergenlerde internet sağlayıcısı olan cihazlarda geçirilen sürede artışı da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu sebeple Covid-19 döneminde internetin kullanımı ile ilişkili olarak internet ve akıllı telefon bağımlılığı kavramlarının incelendiği araştırmaların sonuçlarını değerlendirmek önem kazanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda bu sistematik derlemede, Covid-19 döneminde artan internet/akıllı telefon bağımlılığı riskinin ergenlerdeki durumunu ortaya koymak için “Covid-19 döneminde ergenlerin akıllı telefon ve internet bağımlılıklarının durumu nedir?” sorusu yanıtlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Veri tabanlarında yapılan aramalar sonucunda on dört araştırmaya ulaşılmış olup bu araştırmalar derinlemesine incelenmiştir. Bulgular, ergenlerin internet/akıllı telefon bağımlılıklarının salgın öncesine göre yüksek oranda olduğunu, genel olarak internet/akıllı telefon bağımlılıklarının yaygınlığının arttığını ve internet/akıllı telefon bağımlılıklarının ergenlerin ruhsal bozukluklarıyla ve sorunlarıyla ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir.

A Systematic Overview of Adolescents’ Smartphone Habits and Internet Addiction During the COVID-19 Era

Abstract

In order to prevent the spread of the virus during the Covid-19 epidemic period, measures such as maintaining social distance, quarantine practices, and keeping schools closed have been taken in many countries. In this process, individuals' internet use has also increased in order to restore interpersonal relationships that have decreased with staying at home. In addition, the transfer of educational activities, which are risky to be carried out face-to-face during the epidemic period, to online platforms, as in many countries, brought about an increase in the time spent on devices with internet providers in adolescents. For this reason, it is important to evaluate the results of studies examining the concepts of internet and smartphone addiction in relation to the use of the internet in the Covid-19 period. In this context, in this systematic review, "What is the status of adolescents' smartphone and internet addictions in the Covid-19 Era?" The question has been tried to be answered. As a result of the searches made in the databases, fourteen studies were reached and these studies were examined in depth. The findings showed that adolescents’ internet/smartphone addictions were higher than before the epidemic, the prevalence of internet/smartphone addictions increased in general, and internet/smartphone addictions were associated with adolescents' mental disorders and problems.
