COVID-19 Pandemi Sürecinde Çocuklardaki İnternet Bağımlılığı, Siber Mağduriyet Düzeyleri ve Algılanan Ebeveyn İzleminin İncelenmesi

Abstract

süreleri artırdı. İnsanların evlerinde geçirilen sürelerine paralel olarak internette geçirdikleri süreler de arttı. Bu çalışma da bu gelişmelerin internet üzerinden zorbalığa uğrama ile olan ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Katılımcılara çevrimiçi ortam üzerinden ulaşıldı. Annelerden; Sosyo-demografik form, Aile-Çocuk İnternet Bağımlılık Ölçeği, çocuklardan ise Siber Mağduriyet Ölçeği, Anne Baba İzleme Ölçeği doldurmaları istenmiştir. Katılmayı kabul eden katılımcılardan bilgilendirilmiş onamları alınmıştır. Toplam 104 anne ve çocuk ile çalışma tamamlanmıştır. Bulgular: Kız cinsiyette, yaş ile siber mağduriyet ölçek puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif yönlü zayıf bir ilişki bulunmuştur (r: 0,308, p=0,028). Sosyal medya hesabı olan çocuk ve ergenlerin siber mağduriyet puanları olmayanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek bulunmuştur(p=0,002). Ölçeklerin birbirleri ile olan ilişkileri değerlendirildiğinde Aile-Çocuk İnternet Bağımlılık Ölçeği ile Siber mağduriyet düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif yönde zayıf bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır (r=0,248 p=0,011). Ergen grubunda hem Aile-Çocuk İnternet Bağımlılık Ölçeği hem de Siber mağduriyet ölçeği ile kısıtlayıcı izlem arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif yönde zayıf düzeyde ilişki bulunmaktadır (r=0,345 p=0,019; r=0,345 p=0,019). Sonuç: COVID-19 sürecinde internet bağımlılığı ve siber mağduriyet gençler arasında hızla artmaktadır. Yaşın artması ve sosyal medya hesaplarının olması çocuk ve ergenlerde siber mağduriyet açısından risk yaratmaktadır. Aileler bu süreçte çocukları yakından izlemeli, internet kullanımı ve siber mağduriyet hakkında doğru bilgilendirmeler yapmalıdır, sınır koyma da aşırı kısıtlayıcı olmaktan kaçınmalıdırlar.

The Investigation of Internet Addiction, Cyber Victimization Levels and Perception of Parental Monitoring in Children During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Aim: People struggle with COVID-19 on all over the world last year and the time people spend at home has increased due to pandemic. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between cyber victimization and COVID-19 pandemic in children. Material and Methods: The data consist of 104 mother and child who answered the scales with the help of the online environment by Google questionnaire method. Participants were asked to fill in the socio-demographic form, the Parent-Child Internet Addiction Test, the Cyber victimization scale, the Parental Monitoring Instrument. This study was approved by the ethics committee of Düzce University Faculty of Medicine clinical studies ethics committee. Results: In this study a statistically significant weak correlation was found between the age of female gender and the cyber victimization scale (r: 0.308, p = 0.028). Having a social media account is statistically significantly associated with Cyber victimization scores (p = 0.002). When the relationships of the scales with each other was evaluated, it was found that there was a statistically significant positive weak relationship between the Parent- Child Internet Addiction Test and the CVS scores (r = 0.248 p = 0.011). There is a statistically significant positive weak correlation between both Parent- Child Internet Addiction Test and Cyber victimization scores and restrictive follow-up (r=0,327 p=0,019; r=0,345 p=0,019). Conclusion: Internet addiction and cyber victimization are rapidly increasing among children. Older age and having a social media account seem to be risk factors for cyber victimization. Families should follow up children closely and inform their children about harm of excessive use of internet in these ages.
