Lise Öğrencilerinde Fiziksel Şikâyetler İnternet Bağımlılığı Belirtisi Olabilir mi?

Öz

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı lise çağındaki adelosanlarda internet bağımlılık düzeyini ölçmek, internette bulunma süresi ile bel, boyun ağrıları ve göz sağlığı problemleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Yöntem: Çalışma basit kesitsel tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Çalışmaya 8926 lise öğrencisi katıldı. Öğrenciler cinsiyetlerine, okudukları okul tipi ve sınıf dağılımlarına göre küme örnekleme yöntemiyle seçildi. Türkçeye uyarlanmış Young’un kısa internet bağımlılık ölçeği (IAT) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 15,71±1,14 idi (min=14, maks=18). Öğrencilerin ortalama internet bağımlılık puanı 26,88±8,80’di (min=12, maks=60). Bağımlılık riski yüksek olan öğrencilerin oranı %44,3 (n=3950) iken bağımlı olanların oranı %15,7’di (n=1400). Bağımlılık düzeyi ile bel, boyun ağrısı ve göz rahatsızlıkları arasında anlamlı pozitif ilişki tespit edildi (p<0,001; p<0,001; p<0,001). Öğrencilerin akıllı telefon sahibi olma oranı ise %96,4’tü (n=8606). Akıllı telefon sahibi olmakla bağımlılık düzeyi, boyun ağrısı ve gözlerdeki şikâyetler arasında anlamlı bir pozitif ilişki saptandı (sırasıyla p=0,005; p=0,002; p=0,003).
Çalışmada evinde bilgisayar bulunan öğrencilerin oranı %79,8’di (n=7122). Evinde bilgisayar olanlarda gözlerdeki şikâyetlerin anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu tespit edildi (p<0,001). Sonuç: Adelosanlarda internet bağımlılığı önemli ve yaygın bir sorundur. Adelosan yaşı arttıkça internet bağımlılığı da artmaktadır. Adolesanlar arasında çok yaygın kullanım oranı olan akıllı telefonlar internet bağımlılığının yaygınlaşması için en önemli risk faktörüdür. İnternet bağımlılığı kas-eklem ağrıları ve göz ile ilgili semptomlara sebep olmaktadır. Muayene sırasında bu ilişki de dikkate alınmalıdır.

Students were selected by cluster sampling method pursuant to their gender, school type, and grade distributions. Young's short internet addiction test (IAT) that was adapted to Turkish was utilized. Results: The average internet addiction score of the students was 26.88 ± 8.80. While the ratio of students with a high risk of addiction was 44.3% (n=3950), the ratio of those, who were addicted, was 15.7% (n=1400). A significant positive correlation was found between the addiction level and the lower back, neck pain and eye disorders. (p<0.001; p<0.001; p<0.001) The smartphone possession rate of students was 96.4% (n=8606). There was a significant positive correlation between having a smartphone and the level of addiction, neck pain, and eye complaints. (p=0.005; p=0.002; p=0.003, respectively)The ratio of students, who have a computer at home, was 79.8% (n=7122). Eye complaints were found to be significantly higher in those, who had a computer at home (p<0.001).Conclusion: Internet addiction is an important and common problem among adolescents. Internet addiction increases, as the age of adolescents increases. Smartphones are the most important risk factor for the spread of internet addiction.
