Abstract

Amaç: Son on yılda İnternet kullanımı çocuklar arasında popüler hale gelmiştir. Çocukların dijital dünyayı nasıl kullanmaları gerektiği konusunda hala çok az şey bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada çocuklarda İnternet kullanımı, ebeveyn gözetiminde İnternet kullanım sıklığı ve depresif belirtiler arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Prospektif kesitsel çalışma, Mart 2021-Haziran 2021 tarihleri arasında pediatri kliniklerine başvuran 7-18 yaş arası 79 çocuk ve aile çiftinde yapılmıştır. Katılımcılar, sosyodemografik veriler, çocukların Internet kullanımı ve Çocukların Depresyon Envanteri’ni içeren çevrimiçi bir anket doldurmuştur. Çocukların İnternet kullanımı bu araştıma için tarafımızca hazırlanan bir anket ile sorulmuştur.
Bulgular: Bu çalışmada çocuklarda İnternet kullanım süresi ile depresif belirtiler arasında istatistiksel anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Bununla birlikte, İnterneti ebeveyn gözetiminde daha sık kullanan ve Interneti ders çalışmak için kullanan çocukların depresif belirtilerinin daha düşük olduğunu gösterdik (p=0.026, p<0.001).
Sonuç: Ebeveyn gözetiminde Internet kullanımı, çocukları dijital dünyanın zararlı etkilerinden koruyabilir.

The Relationship Between the Internet Usage Features, Internet Use Under Parental Supervision, and Depressive Symptoms in Children

Abstract

Aims: Internet usage has become popular among children in the last decade. Little is known about how children should use the digital world. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between Internet use, frequency of Internet use under parental supervision, and depressive symptoms in children.
Material and Methods: The prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 79 children aged 7-18 years old and their families who applied to the pediatric clinics between March 2021 and June 2021. The participants completed an online questionnaire, including sociodemographic data, children’s Internet use, and the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI). Children’s Internet use was asked with a questionnaire created by ourselves for this study.
Results: The present study found no significant relationship between Internet usage time and depressive symptoms in children. Nevertheless, we showed that children who used the Internet more frequently under parental supervision and used the Internet for study purposes had lower depressive symptoms (p=0.026, p<0.001).
Conclusion: Internet use under parental supervision might protect children against the harmful effects of the digital world.
