A Mixed Study of Technology Dependence From The Perspective Of First-Year Medical Students

Öz

ABSTRACT Objective: Significant technological advances in recent years have led to increased use of technological devices, which can foster repetitive behaviors and dependence on technology. Technology dependence warrants thorough examination due to its physical, social, and psychological effects. This study aims to present students’ perspectives on technology dependence, including its definition, causes, adverse effects, and recommendations for prevention and treatment. Materials and Methods: This mixed-method study employs a descriptive sequential design. The quantitative phase involved 203 out of 268 first-year medical students from Süleyman Demirel University. The quantitative component assessed students’ reliance on technology and identified groups for qualitative research. In the qualitative component, 15 participants were divided into four focus groups. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using a phenomenological design, investigating addiction perceptions, examples, causes, negative effects, and suggestions. Data were thematically evaluated using MAXQDA 2020. Results: The study identified various perceptions of addiction, including feelings of being trapped, being unable to quit, experiencing deficiencies, or being overly focused on specific activities. Examples of addiction included cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine, sugar/salt, narcotics, technology, interpersonal relationships, and gambling. Factors contributing to technology dependence were individual, social, environmental, and familial. Conclusion: Dependence on technology has psychological, physical, and social consequences. Participants proposed personal, familial, and community-based solutions. The study proposed methods for preventing, treating, and rehabilitating technology dependence.
