AMAÇ: İnternet kullanımı hayatı birçok alanda kolaylaştırırken, aşırı ve sık kullanımı ile ilişkili olumsuz sonuçları da artmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, internette geçirilen zamanların büyük kısmını oluşturan sosyal medyayı sık ve kontrolsüz kullanmanın olumsuz psikososyal sonuçları üzerine yapılan araştırmalar da dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kesitsel olarak değerlendirilen üniversite öğrencilerinde İnternet Bağımlılığı (İB), Problemli Sosyal Medya Kullanımı (PSMK), depresyon, anksiyete ve sosyodemografik özellikler arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Araştırmamıza Sosyal Medya Bozukluğu Ölçeği (SMBÖ), İnternet Bağımlılığı Testi (İBT) ve Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği'ni (HAD) dolduran 196 Tıp Fakültesi öğrencisi [122’si (% 62.2) kadın, yaş ortalaması 21.33 ± 1.92 yıl] katıldı.
BULGULAR: Sonuçlar, katılımcıların %26.5’inde orta düzeyde İB bulunduğunu, PSMK puanlarının (RO: 1.276, %95 GA: 1.187-1.372) ve düzenli sportif aktivite eksiliğinin (RO: 3.003, %95 GA: 1.107-8.144) İB için risk oluşturduğunu gösterdi. Çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi ise İB’nın, PSMK puanları (%49 varyans) ve anksiyete (%6 varyans) tarafından bağımsız şekilde yordandığını gösterdi.
SONUÇ: Araştırmamızın sonuçları genç yetişkinlerde aşırı sosyal medya kullanımının ve anksiyetenin İB ile anlamlı ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Düzenli spor alışkanlığının bedensel sağlığa olan katkısının yanında anksiyete ve bağımlılık gibi önemli psikiyatrik sorunlarla olan ilişkisinin daha iyi aydınlatılması, bağımlılık önleme programlarına katkı sağlayabilir.

OBJECTIVE: While Internet use makes life easier in many areas, the negative consequences associated with excessive and frequent Internet use increases. Meanwhile, research on the negative psychosocial consequences of frequent and uncontrolled use of social media, which constitutes most of the time spent on the Internet, also draws attention. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Internet Addiction (IA), Problematic Social Media Use (PSMU), depression, anxiety, and sociodemographic characteristics in a cross-sectional student population.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 196 Medical Faculty students (62.2% female, mean age 21.33 ± 1.92 y) who completed the Social Media Disorder Scale (SMDS), the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) participated in our study.
RESULTS: The results showed that %26.5 participants had moderate IA and PSMU scores (OR: 1.276, %95 CI: 1.187-1.372) and lack of regular sportive activity (OR: 3.003, %95 CI: 1.107-8.144) were risk factors for IA. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that IA was predicted independently by PSMU scores (%49 variances) and anxiety (%6 variances).
CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study showed that excessive use of social media and anxiety were significantly associated with IA in young adults. In addition to the contribution of regular sports habits to physical health, better clarification of its relationship with important psychiatric problems such as anxiety and addiction may contribute to addiction prevention programs.
