Investigation of Internet Usage and Social Exclusion - Social Inclusion of Individuals Who Diagnosed Orthopaedic Disability
Öz
The
purpose of this research is to examine the impact of internet usage in the
social relations of orthopaedic disabled individuals and to display the impact
of internet on social exclusion or inclusion while orthopaedic disabled
individuals are going on with their lives. Participants of this study consist
of 39 disabled individuals in total, 33% (n=13) of whom are females and 67%
(n=26) are males who were determined with criterion sampling methods in Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus. The questionnaire developed by Köten and Erdoğan
in 2014 was used in order to determine the demographic information of
orthopaedic disabled individuals and social exclusion scale was employed to
identify their social exclusion status and internet usage features. According
to the results obtained from the research, it was found out that orthopaedic
disabled individuals who do not use internet for fun, or watch TV, series,
movies, music, documentary or entertainment programs, participating in chat
rooms and seeking information felt themselves socially excluded. In conclusion
studies conducted on individuals with orthopaedic disabilities mention a point
in common. Being in working life, doing sports, self-esteem and not living
alone are related to the socialization and being among people of individuals
with orthopaedic disabilities. This paper displayed that internet usage has a
positive impact on individuals with orthopaedic disabilities in terms of social
inclusion. Although the topics of other studies are different, results are
supporting each
other and each study display the positive impacts of social inclusion of individuals
with orthopaedic disabilities. It is recommended that qualitative studies
should be conducted so that different variables which affect the social
exclusion levels of individuals with orthopaedic disabilities can be displayed
and more in-depth knowledge can be acquired.
