Literatürde, ergenlerin mental sağlıkları ile İnternet Bağımlılığı (IB) arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen pek çok araştırma olmasına rağmen günlük yaşam aktivitelerine özgü problemleri irdeleyen sınırlı çalışma vardır. Bu tanımlayıcı çalışmanın amacı ergenlerin IB durumlarını ve internet başından ayrılamadıkları için erteledikleri bazı günlük yaşam aktivitelerini belirlemektir (n=828). İnternette olduğu zamanlarda; altı saatten az uyuyan, sadece iki ana öğün yiyen, ara öğünlerini atlayan, ana öğünlerini bilgisayar başında yiyen, atıştırmalık (abur-cubur) birşeyler ile öğününü atlayan, tuvalet ve bazı hijyenik ihtiyaçlarını (el yıkama, banyo yapma) erteleyen ve çalışmayı ertelediği için okul başarı zayıf olan ergenlerin IB skorları diğerlerinden daha yüksektir (p<0.05). Aynı zamanda bu ergenlerin internet başında uzun zaman geçirdikleri için baş-boyun ve kol veya herhangi bir bölgesinde ayrı deneyimledikleri, göz ile ilgili ( göz yaşarması, göz kızarması ve ağrı) problemi ve sindirim sistemi problemleri (kabızlık, gaz) yaşadıkları bulundu. Fiziksel sağlık şikayetleri ile IB skoru arasında anlamlı farklılık elde edildi (p<0.05).

Internet Addiction In Turkish Adolescents And Their Postponed Activities Of Daily Living

Öz

Despite the many studies in the literature investigating the relationship between Internet Addiction (IA) and adolescent mental health, there are few studies on their problems with carrying out activities of daily living. The purpose of this descriptive study is to determine the IA status of adolescents (n=828) as well as some of the daily life activities that they postpone due to not being able to pry themselves away from the Internet. The IA scores of adolescents who sleep less than 6 hours, eat only two main meals, skip/postpone meals and have snacks at the computer instead, delay going to the toilet and taking care of hygienic needs (hand washing, bathing) while on the internet and have a poor academic standing because of postponing schoolwork as a result of being on the computer were higher (p<0.05). At the same time, it was found that these adolescents experienced pain in the back, neck, arm and other parts of the body, had eye problems (eye tearing, red eyes, pain) and digestive problems (constipation, gas) from sitting at the Internet for a long time. There were also significant differences between IA scores in terms of the adolescents’ medical complaints (pain, eye problems) and some of the emotional issues that they experienced (p<0.05).
