Examination of Smartphone Addiction Levels Among University Students.

Öz

Smartphone addiction is attracting attention as a growing global problem among university students today. This addiction directly impacts not only individuals' psychological health and social relationships, but also their academic success and learning processes. The aim of this study is to determine the level of smartphone addiction among university students and to examine whether addiction varies according to demographic variables such as age, gender, education level, and daily usage duration. The research was conducted using a descriptive survey model, and the "Smartphone Addiction Scale for University Students" was used as the data collection tool. The study group consisted of 450 students at Sivas Cumhuriyet University. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 software and parametric statistical methods. Research results indicate that a significant portion of university students use smartphones for more than six hours per day, and this use is largely for social media and entertainment purposes. Male students were found to experience more health problems related to phone use than female students. Based on age, it was determined that the 18-21 age group exhibited more intense and uncontrolled use. It was also revealed that associate degree students experienced more physical health problems compared to graduate students. In conclusion, smartphone addiction appears to be a widespread problem among university students. The results highlight the importance of developing policies and training programs to increase digital awareness, control usage time, and develop ergonomic usage habits. The study contributes to both the literature and practice by shedding light on young adults' digital behavior in the post-pandemic period.
