DİKKAT EKSİKLİĞİ VE HİPERAKTİVİTE BOZUKLUĞU OLAN GENÇLERİN AKILLI TELEFON KULLANMA DURUMLARI

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma, dikkat eksikliği ve hiperaktivite bozukluğu (DEHB) tanısı almış genç bireylerin akıllı telefon kullanımına ilişkin deneyimlerini anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Nitel araştırma desenlerinden olgubilim yaklaşımıyla yürütülen çalışmada, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 12 katılımcı ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Sonuçlar, üç ana tema altında toplanmıştır: ortam tercihi, aile ve arkadaşlık ilişkileri, günlük yaşam. Katılımcılar, akıllı telefonları hem işlevsel hem de duygusal gerekçelerle kullandıklarını belirtmiş; kullanımın zaman zaman dikkat sorunlarını artırabildiğini ve sosyal ilişkileri etkileyebildiğini ifade etmişlerdir. Bununla birlikte, bazı katılımcıların olumsuz etkilerle baş edebilmek adına çeşitli stratejiler geliştirdiği görülmüştür. Sonuç: Elde edilen bulgular, DEHB’li gençlerin dijital teknolojiyle kurdukları ilişkinin çok boyutlu ve dinamik olduğunu ortaya koymakta; bu alanda geliştirilecek destekleyici müdahalelere yönelik önemli ipuçları sunmaktadır.

Smartphone Use of Young People with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Öz

Objective: This study aims to understand the experiences of young individuals diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) regarding smartphone use. Material and Methods: In the study, which was conducted with a phenomenological approach from qualitative research designs, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 participants selected by a purposeful sampling method. The content analysis technique was used in the analysis of the obtained data. Results: The findings were grouped under three main themes:environmental preferences, family and friendship relationships, and daily life. Participants stated that they used smartphones for both functional and emotional reasons, and that such use can sometimes increase attention problems and affect social relationships. However, it was observed that some participants developed various strategies to cope with the negative effects. Conclusion: The findings reveal that the relationship between young people with ADHD and digital technology is multidimensional and dynamic, and provide important insights for the development of supportive interventions in this field.
