Sosyal medya, günümüzün en önemli iletişim
araçlarından biri olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Türkiye’deki nüfusun neredeyse
yüzde 63’ü (yaklaşık 52 milyon kişi) sosyal medya kullanmaktadır
(www.fundalina.com). Bilgilenme, kimlik sunumu, sosyal etkileşimler, uygulamalar
ve gizlilik dâhil birçok yönden hayatı kolaylaştıran sosyal medya, gereğinden
fazla kullanıldığında bağımlılık oluşturabilmektedir. Sosyal medya bağımlılığı,
davranışsal bağımlılık semptomlarında kendini gösteren bir türdür ve birçok
psikolojik faktörle ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. İşte bu araştırmayla, Konya
merkezdeki sağlık çalışanlarının sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile psikolojik iyi
oluş düzeyleri arasındaki ilişki tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Saha
araştırması yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada veriler, 400 katılımcıdan yüz
yüze anket tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda katılımcıların orta düzey sosyal medya bağımlılığına
sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Sosyal medyanın günlük kullanım süresi ve
haftalık kullanım sıklığı arttıkça, sosyal medya bağımlılığı da artmaktadır.
Bunun yanında eğitim seviyesi ve yaş arttıkça, sosyal medya bağımlılık
düzeyinde bir düşüş yaşanmaktadır.
Ayrıca katılımcıların yaşı arttıkça, sosyal medya bağımlılık riskinin de
azaldığı görülmüştür.  Yine
araştırmada psikolojik iyi oluş düzeyinin, sosyal medya bağımlılık puanını
negatif yönde anlamlı biçimde yordadığı ortaya konulmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Psychological Well-Being as a Predictor of Social Media Addiction: A Survey on Health Workers

Öz

Social media stand out as one of the most important
communication tools of today. Nearly 63 percent of Turkey's population
(approximately 52 million people) (www.fundalina.com) uses social media. Social
media, which facilitate life in many ways, including information, identity
presentation, social interactions, practices and privacy, can create addiction
when used more than necessary. Social media addiction is a manifestation of
addictive behavioral symptoms and is associated with many psychological
factors. With this study, we attempted to reveal the extent of the relationship
between social media addiction and the psychological well-being of health
workers in central Konya. The data were collected from 400 participants by face
to face questionnaire technique. As a result of the research, it was determined
that the participants had medium level social media addiction. Social media
addiction increases as the period of daily social media usage and the frequency
of weekly social media usage increase. Our study indicates that, as the
education level and age increase, there is a decrease in the level of social
media addiction. In addition, as the age of the participants
increased, the risk of social media addiction decreased. In the study, it was also
found that psychological well-being significantly predicted the score of social
media addiction negatively.
