Bu çalışma, cerrahi geçirecek ergenlerde internet bağımlılığının preoperatif anksiyete üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. İnternet bağımlılığı ergenlerde anksiyete, uyku bozuklukları ve depresyon gibi ruhsal sorunlarla ilişkilendirilmiştir. Ancak, preoperatif anksiyete üzerindeki etkileri henüz yeterince incelenmemiştir. Çalışma, Karatay Üniversitesi Etik Kurulu onayı ile Konya Şehir Hastanesi'nde, Ağustos-Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmaya, genel anestezi uygulanacak 12-18 yaş arası 150 hasta dahil edildi. Preoperatif anksiyete "Spielberger Durumluk Kaygı Ölçeği" (STAI-1) ile, internet bağımlılığı "Young İnternet Bağımlılığı Ölçeği" (İAS) ile ölçüldü. İstatistiksel analizler SPSS ile yapıldı ve Pearson korelasyon, ANOVA ve regresyon analizleri kullanıldı.
Hastaların %45.3’ü internet bağımlısıydı ve bu grupta preoperatif anksiyete düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu (r=0.728, p<0.01),ikili karşılaştırmalarda tüm gruplar arasında istaistiksel anlamlı fark olduğu tespit edildi. İnternet bağımlılığı ve preoperatif anksiyete arasında pozitif güçlü bir ilişki bulundu. Ayrıca, yaş ve internete erişim kolaylığının da anksiyete düzeyini artırdığı ve i nternete kolay erişimi olan bireylerde, sınırlı erişimi olanlara kıyasla daha yüksek anksiyete seviyeleri olduğu görülmüştür (β=0.189, p=0.018). İnternet bağımlılığı, cerrahi geçirecek ergenlerde preoperatif anksiyete düzeyini artıran önemli bir faktördür. Yaş ve internete erişim kolaylığı da anksiyete düzeyini etkileyen diğer değişkenlerdir. Bu bulgular, internet bağımlılığının preoperatif süreçlerde göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiğini göstermektedir.

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.
