The Effect of Internet Addiction on Preoperative Anxiety in Adolescents

Öz

Internet addiction has been associated with mental health issues such as anxiety, sleep disorders, and depression in adolescents. However, its effects on preoperative anxiety have not been adequately studied. Our goal is to investigate the consequences of internet addiction on preoperative anxiety in adolescents undergoing surgery. The study was carried out by the approval of the Karatay University Ethics Committee at Konya City Hospital between August and December 2023. A total of 150 patients aged 12–18 who would undergo general anesthesia were included. Preoperative anxiety was evaluated utilizing the "Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory" (STAI-1), and internet addiction was assessed using the "Young Internet Addiction Scale" (IAS). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS, and Pearson correlation, ANOVA, and regression analyses were used. It was found that 45.3% of the patients were internet addicts, and this group experienced higher levels of preoperative anxiety (r = 0.728, p<0.01). Pairwise comparisons revealed statistically significant differences among all groups. We observed a strong positive connection between internet addiction and preoperative anxiety. Additionally, it was observed that age and easy access to the internet increased anxiety levels, with individuals having more accessible access to the internet experiencing higher anxiety levels compared to those with limited access (β = 0.189, p = 0.018). Internet addiction is an important factor that increases preoperative anxiety levels in adolescents undergoing surgery. Age and ease of internet access are other variables affecting anxiety levels. These findings suggest that internet addiction should be taken into account during preoperative processes.
