Digital Well-Being and Technoference in Family: A Review in the Context of Social Work

Abstract

The rapid integration of digital technologies into daily life is profoundly transforming family communication dynamics, roles, and interaction patterns. Alongside the opportunities provided by technology, the risks posed by unconscious use have created a new area of inquiry for the modern family structure. The aim of this study is to examine the concept of "digital well-being," which refers to the healthy and balanced use of technology, and "technoference," defined as the interruption of social interactions due to technology use, and to evaluate these dynamics within the context of the social work discipline. In this review study, a descriptive conceptual framework was established by reviewing the relevant literature. The reviewed literature indicates that technoference reduces marital relationship satisfaction, increases conflict between partners, and, by fostering perceptions of neglect in parent–child relationships, adversely affects children’s psychosocial development. Furthermore, it has been determined that digital well-being is not merely an individual preference but a state of balance extending to the entire family system. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the critical role of social workers in equipping families with digital literacy and boundary setting skills to ensure family digital welfare. In this context, the importance of intervention strategies that encourage conscious and interaction oriented use, rather than prohibiting technology, has been highlighted.

Ailede Dijital İyi Oluş ve Teknoferans: Sosyal Hizmet Bağlamında Bir Değerlendirme

Abstract

Dijital teknolojilerin günlük yaşama hızla entegre olması, aile içi iletişim dinamiklerini, rollerini ve etkileşim biçimlerini köklü bir şekilde dönüştürmektedir. Teknolojinin sağladığı fırsatların yanı sıra, bilinçsiz kullanımın yarattığı riskler, modern aile yapısı için yeni bir inceleme alanı doğurmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı teknolojinin sağlıklı ve dengeli kullanımını ifade eden “dijital iyi oluş” kavramı ile teknoloji kullanımı nedeniyle sosyal etkileşimlerin kesintiye uğraması anlamına gelen “teknoferans” kavramını incelemek ve bu dinamikleri sosyal hizmet disiplini bağlamında değerlendirmektir. Geleneksel derleme olarak yapılandırılan bu çalışmada, ilgili literatür taranarak betimsel nitelikte kavramsal bir çerçeve oluşturulmuştur. Ulaşılan literatür, teknoferansın eşler arası ilişki doyumunu azalttığını, çatışmaları artırdığını ve ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkisinde ihmal algısına yol açarak çocukların psikososyal gelişimini olumsuz etkilediğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca dijital iyi oluşun, sadece bireysel bir tercih değil, aile sisteminin bütününe yayılan bir denge hali olduğu öne çıkmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, ailenin dijital iyi oluşunu sağlamak adına sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının, ailelere dijital okuryazarlık ve sınır koyma becerileri kazandırmada kritik bir role sahip olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Bu bağlamda, teknolojiyi yasaklayan değil, bilinçli ve etkile-şim odaklı kullanımı teşvik eden müdahale stratejilerinin önemi ortaya konulmuştur.
