Abstract

Amaç: Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma, COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında adolesanların akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ve gündüz uykululuğunu araştırdı.
Yöntem: Örneklem, Türkiye’nin İç Anadolu Bölgesi’nde yaşayan 1001 adolesandan oluşmaktadır. Veriler, sosyodemografik özellikler anketi, Cleveland Ergen Uykululuk Anketi (CASQ) ve Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği-Kısa Versiyonu (Ergenler için) (SAS-SV) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler tanımlayıcı, karşılaştırmalı ve korelasyonel istatistikler kullanılarak analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların çoğu, pandemiden bu yana akıllı telefonlarında çok daha fazla zaman geçirdiklerini belirtti (%87,2). Katılımcıların yarısından fazlası, akıllı telefonlarında günde 90 dakikadan fazla kaldıklarını belirtti (%63.1). Katılımcıların yarısından azı zamanlarının çoğunu (%44,8) Instagram'da geçirdiklerini söyledi. Katılımcıların yarısından fazlası (%55,7) gündüz uykulu olduğunu bildirmiştir. Katılımcıların yarısından azı orta düzeyde uyku durumuna sahipti (%44,8). CASQ “okulda uyku” ile “akşam uyku” alt ölçek puanları arasında pozitif bir ilişki vardı.
Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında adolesanlar, gündüz uykululuğunu etkileyen akıllı telefon bağımlılığı açısından yüksek risk altındadır. Bu nedenle adolesanlarda psikolojik sorunlar ve gündüz uykululuk riskini azaltacak müdahalelere ihtiyacımız vardır.

Smartphone Addiction and Sleep Status in Adolescents during COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Aim: This descriptive study investigated smartphone addiction and daytime sleepiness in adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: The sample consisted of 1001 adolescents living in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey. Data were collected using a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, the Cleveland Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire (CASQ), and the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (for Adolescents) (SAS-SV). The data were analyzed using descriptive, comparative, and correlational statistics.
Results: Most participants stated that they had spent much more time on their smartphones since the pandemic (87.2%). More than half of the participants noted that they had been on their smartphones for more than 90 minutes daily (63.1%). Less than half of the participants said they spent most of their time on Instagram (44.8%). More than half of the participants reported daytime sleepiness (55.7%). Less than half of the participants had a moderate-level sleep status (44.8%). There was a positive correlation between CASQ “sleep in school” and “sleep in the evening” subscale scores.
Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents are at high risk of smartphone addiction, affecting daytime sleepiness. Therefore, we need interventions to reduce the risk of psychological problems and daytime sleepiness in adolescents.
