Objective: An association between sleep quality, depression, and internet addiction has been established by studies. However, there is a gap in the literature regarding the relationship between hopelessness, an early indicator of mental health issues such as depression, and internet addiction, as well as sleep quality..
Aim: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of internet addiction, hopelessness, and sleep quality in adolescents and explore the associations among these variables.
Method: This cross-sectional survey was conducted between January -February 2024 and involved 660 high school students. Data were collected using the Internet Addiction Test, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Beck Hopelessness Scale. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression.
Results: The mean Internet Addiction Test score was 47.92 ± 8.2, indicating that 15.8% of students exhibited dependent internet use. The average Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score was 6.82 ± 6.2, with 27.7% of students experiencing poor sleep quality. The mean Beck Hopelessness Scale score was 7.54 ± 8.4. Results revealed a positive moderate correlation between internet addiction and sleep quality, as well as between internet addiction and hopelessness. A positive, weak correlation existed between sleep quality and hopelessness.
Conclusion: Overall, this study confirms the presence of internet addiction, poor sleep quality, and hopelessness among adolescents. Given these relationships, interventions should address not only internet addiction but also aim to enhance sleep quality and reduce hopelessness in this population.

Adölesanlarda İnternet Bağımlılığı, Uyku Kalitesi ve Umutsuzluk Arasındaki İlişki

Öz

Giriş: Yapılan çalışmalarla uyku kalitesi, depresyon ve internet bağımlılığı arasında bir ilişki kurulmuştur. Ancak literatürde depresyon gibi ruh sağlığı sorunlarının erken bir göstergesi olan umutsuzluk ile internet bağımlılığı ve uyku kalitesi arasındaki ilişki konusunda bir boşluk bulunmaktadır.
Amaç: Bu çalışma, adölesanlarda internet bağımlılığı, umutsuzluk ve uyku kalitesinin yaygınlığını değerlendirmek ve adölesanlar arasındaki internet bağımlılığı, uyku kalitesi ve umutsuzluk arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmak amacıyla yürütülmüştür.
Yöntem: Çalışma kesitsel, tanımlayıcı ve korelasyonel tasarımla 660 lise öğrencisi ile Ocak -Şubat 2024 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında İnternet Bağımlılığı Testi, Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi ve Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Ortalama internet bağımlılığı puanı 47.92 ± 8.2 olarak bulunmuş olup, öğrencilerin %15.8'inde bağımlı internet kullanımı saptandı. Ortalama uyku kalitesi indeks puanı 6.82±6.2 olup, öğrencilerin %27.7'sinin kötü uyku kalitesine sahipti. Umutsuzluk ölçek puan ortalaması 7.54±8.4 olarak bulunmuştur. Internet bağımlılığı ile uyku kalitesi arasında pozitif orta düzeyde ve internet bağımlılığı ile umutsuzluk arasında pozitif orta düzeyde bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Uyku kalitesi ile umutsuzluk arasında pozitif ve zayıf düzeyde ilişki bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın genel sonuçları, adölesanlar arasında internet bağımlılığı, kötü uyku kalitesi ve umutsuzluğu doğrulamaktadır. İnternet bağımlılığının yaygınlığı ile düşük uyku kalitesi ve umutsuzluk arasındaki ilişki göz önüne alındığında, sadece internet bağımlılığını değil aynı zamanda uyku kalitesini artırmak ve umutsuzluğu azaltmak için müdahalelerin planlanması önerilmektedir.
