THE EFFECTS OF SMARTPHONE ADDICTION, STRESS, AND BEDTIME PROCRASTINATION ON SLEEP QUALITY

Abstract

The present investigation explores the complex interconnections that exist among university students regarding smartphone addiction, depression, anxiety, stress, bedtime procrastination, and sleep quality. A range of psychological assessments were utilized on a sample of 547 college students. These assessments included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Smartphone Addiction Scale, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21, and the Bedtime Procrastination Scale. The findings suggest that there are noteworthy correlations among psychological distress, sleep quality, smartphone addiction, and bedtime procrastination. It is worth mentioning that anxiety, stress, and procrastination before bedtime emerged as substantial predictors of sleep quality. Conversely, depression and smartphone addiction did not demonstrate any significant effects. Consistent with prior research, these results indicate a robust correlation among psychological distress, delayed bedtime preparation, and substandard sleep quality. Nevertheless, discrepancies in results concerning the influence of depression on sleep quality and smartphone addiction underscore the necessity for additional investigation, specifically utilizing longitudinal designs and encompassing diverse populations. Notwithstanding constraints including sample homogeneity and reliance on self-report measures, this research highlights the criticality of interventions that specifically address anxiety, stress, and bedtime procrastination in order to enhance the quality of sleep among college students.

ÜNİVERSİTE ÖĞRENCİLERİNDE AKILLI TELEFON BAĞIMLILIĞI, DEPRESYON, KAYGI, STRES, VE UYKU VAKTİ ERTELEMENİN UYKU KALİTESİNE ETKİSİ

Öz

Mevcut araştırma, üniversite öğrencileri arasında akıllı telefon bağımlılığı, depresyon, kaygı, stres, uyku vakti erteleme ve uyku kalitesi ile ilgili mevcut kritik bağlantıları araştırmaktadır. 547 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşan bir örneklem üzerinde çeşitli psikolojik değerlendirmeler kullanılmıştır. Bu değerlendirmeler arasında Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi, Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği, Depresyon, Kaygı ve Stres Ölçeği-21 ve Uyku Vakti Erteleme Ölçeği yer almıştır. Psikolojik stres, uyku kalitesi, akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ve uyku vakti erteleme arasında dikkate değer ilişkiler olduğunu göstermektedir. Kaygı, stres ve uyku vakti ertelemenin uyku kalitesinin önemli belirleyicileri olarak ortaya çıktığını belirtmekte fayda vardır. Tersine, depresyon ve akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ise herhangi bir anlamlı etki göstermemiştir. Önceki araştırmalarla tutarlı olarak, bu sonuçlar psikolojik sıkıntı, yatmadan önce hazırlanmanın gecikmesi ve kötü uyku kalitesi arasında güçlü bir korelasyon olduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, depresyonun uyku kalitesi ve akıllı telefon bağımlılığı üzerindeki etkisine ilişkin sonuçlardaki farklılıklar, özellikle uzunlamasına izlem metodu uygulanan ve farklı popülasyonları kapsayan ek araştırmaların gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır. Örneklem homojenliği ve öz bildirim ölçümlerine güven gibi kısıtlamalara rağmen, bu araştırma, üniversite öğrencileri arasında uyku kalitesini artırmak için özellikle kaygı, stres ve uyku vakti ertelemeyi ele alan müdahalelerin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
