The aim of the study is to determine the effect of digital game addiction on neck pain, muscle activity level, depression and sleep quality in individuals. In addition, it was to investigate the effects of four-week mindfulness training on neck pain, muscle activity level, depression and sleep quality in these individuals. Thirty volunteer participants who were receiving training in the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation and met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Participants were divided into the Game addict group (n= 15) and the Control group (n=15) according to their scores on the Digital Game Addiction Scale for University Students. Participants were questioned about their demographic characteristics and duration of playing digital games. Additionally, pain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), muscle activation using the Delsys 2-Channel Trigno Avanti Mobile electromyography system, depression levels using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Participants in the game- addicted group were given online mindfulness training for one hour per week for four weeks. In the comparison of the groups, no statistically significant difference was found in terms of left and right upper trapezius muscle activity, VAS score, BDI score and PSQI score (p>0.05). Although the game-addicted group showed numerical improvement in trapezius muscle activity, VAS score, BDI and PSQI scores after the four-week awareness training compared to before the training, this improvement was not statistically significant (p>0.05). As a result, it was observed that there was a decrease in upper trapezius muscle activity, an increase in neck pain severity, an increase in depression level and a decrease in sleep quality in game-addicted individuals, but this difference was not significant compared to normal individuals. Although there was an increase in upper trapezius muscle activity, a decrease in neck pain severity, a decrease in depression level and an increase in sleep quality in game-addicted individuals after mindfulness training, these improvements were not significant.

Dijital Oyun Bağımlılığı Olan Bireylerde Farkındalık Eğitiminin Ağrı, Kas Aktivitesi, Depresyon ve Uyku Kalitesine Etkisi

Öz

Çalışmanın amacı, dijital oyun bağımlılığının bireylerde boyun ağrısı, kas aktivite düzeyi, depresyon ve uyku kalitesi üzerine etkisini saptamaktır. Ayrıca, dört haftalık farkındalık eğitimin bu bireylerde boyun ağrısı, kas aktivite düzeyi, depresyon ve uyku kalitesi üzerine etkisini araştırmaktı. Çalışmaya Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon Anabilim Dalı’nda eğitim gören ve araştırmaya alınma kriterlerini karşılayan 30 gönüllü katılımcı dâhil edildi. Katılımcılar Üniversite Öğrencileri İçin Dijital Oyun Bağımlılığı Ölçeği’nden aldıkları puana göre Oyun bağımlı grubu (n= 15) ve Kontrol grubuna (n=15) ayrıldı. Katılımcılar demografik özellikleri ve dijital oyun oynama süreleri sorgulandı. Ayrıca katılımcıların ağrı şiddeti Vizüel Analog Skalası (VAS) ile, kas aktivasyonu Delsys 2 Kanallı Trigno Avanti Mobil elektromiyografi sistemi ile, depresyon düzeyleri Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ) ile, uyku kalitesi ise Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ) ile değerlendirildi. Oyun bağımlı grubunda yer alan katılımcılara haftada bir saat dört hafta çevrimiçi olarak farkındalık eğitimi verildi. Grupların karşılaştırılmasında sol ve sağ üst trapezius kas aktivitesi, VAS puanı, BDÖ skoru ve PUKİ skoru açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı (p>0,05).Oyun bağımlı grubun dört haftalık farkındalık eğitim sonrasında eğitim öncesine göre trapezius kas aktivitesinde, VAS puanında, BDÖ ve PUKİ skorlarında sayısal olarak gelişme gösterse de, bu gelişme istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p>0,05). Sonuç olarak, oyun bağımlı bireylerde üst trapezius kas aktivitesinde azalma, boyun ağrısı şiddetinde artış, depresyon düzeyinde artış ve uyku kalitesi azalma olduğu fakat bu farklılık normal bireylere göre anlamlı olmadığı görüldü. Oyun bağımlı bireylerde farkındalık eğitimi sonrasında üst trapezius kas aktivitesinde artış, boyun ağrısı şiddetinde azalma, depresyon düzeyinde azalma ve uyku kalitesinde artış olsa da bu gelişmeler anlamlı değildi.
