Addiction is defined as the inability to stop using a substance or control any behaviour. This study aims to reveal the relationships between food addiction, appetite status and smartphone addiction, which are very common today. 425 university students including 306 females and 119 males, with a mean age of 21.83±9.43 (years) were included in the study. Within the scope of the study, a questionnaire including personal information, nutritional status and habits, general health status and physical activity records was applied to the participants by the researchers. In addition, Simplified Nutrition Evaluation Questionnaire (SNAQ), Yale Eating Addiction Scale and Smartphone Addiction Scale were applied. One of the important findings obtained within the scope of the study is that there is a statistically significant difference between Yale Eating Addiction Scale and Smartphone Addiction Scale scores (t=4.871; p=0.000). Based on this finding, the phone addiction scale scores of individuals with food addiction are significantly higher than those without food addiction. In this direction, the authors suggest that the concept of addiction should be considered without separating it into independent sub-categories such as alcohol or drug addiction or behavioural addictions such as gambling addiction and smartphone addiction, and that addiction should be addressed from a holistic biopsychosocial perspective.

YEME BAĞIMLILIĞI, İŞTAH DURUMU VE AKILLI TELEFON BAĞIMLILIĞI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Öz

Bağımlılık, bir maddeyi kullanmayı bırakamama veya herhangi davranışı kontrol edememe olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışma günümüzde oldukça yaygın bir biçimde karşılaşılan yeme bağımlılığı, iştah durumu ve akıllı telefon bağımlılığı arasındaki ilişkileri ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 21.83±9.43 (yıl) olan 306 kadın, 119 erkek olmak üzere toplam 425 üniversite öğrencisi dahil edildi. Araştırma kapsamında katılımcılara araştırmacılar tarafından kişisel bilgiler, beslenme durumu ve alışkanlıkları, genel sağlık durumu ve fiziksel aktivite kayıtlarını içeren bir anket uygulandı. Bunun yanında Basitleştirilmiş Beslenme Değerlendirme Anketi (SNAQ), Yale Yeme Bağımlılığı Ölçeği ve Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği uygulandı. Çalışma kapsamında elde edilen önemli bulgulardan biri; Yale Yeme Bağımlılığı Ölçeği ve Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farkın bulunmasıdır (t=4,871; p=0,000). Bu bulguya göre yeme bağımlılığı olan bireylerin akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ölçek puanları yeme bağımlılığı olmayanlara göre anlamlı bir şekilde daha yüksektir. Bu doğrultuda yazarlar bağımlılık kavramının alkol ya da uyuşturucu madde bağımlılığı ya da kumar bağımlılığı ve akıllı telefon bağımlılığı gibi davranışsal bağımlılıklar şeklinde bir birinden bağımsız alt kategorilere ayrılmadan bir bütün olarak ele alınması ve bağımlılıkla biyopsikososyal açıdan bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla mücadele edilmesini önermektedir.
