The Relationship Between Internet Addiction and Life Satisfaction Among University Students
Öz
This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the relationship between internet addiction and life satisfaction among 217 students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences of a foundation university. Data were collected using a Personal Data Collection Form, the Internet Addiction Scale, and the Life Satisfaction Scale. The participants' mean score for internet addiction was 24.12 ±12.37, and the mean score for life satisfaction was 19.99 ± 6.91. A significant, moderate, and negative correlation was found between internet addiction and life satisfaction (r =-0.305, p <0.001). Daily internet usage duration was found to have a significant effect on internet addiction scores (p <0.001). It was also determined that income level, physical illness, mental illness, regular physical exercise, and academic achievement levels were significantly associated with life satisfaction scores (p <0.05). These findings suggest that internet use among university students should be analyzed not only through the diagnosis of addiction but also through the quality of usage time and its indirect effects on quality of life.
