Astımlı Çocuk ve Ergenlerde Dijital Bağımlılık Düzeylerinin Değerlendirilmesi: Bir Vaka-Kontrol Çalışması

Yıl 2025, Cilt: 15 Sayı: 2, 1 - 7

Öz

Amaç: Astım, çocuklar arasında en yaygın kronik hastalık olmaya devam etmekte olup, onların sağlığı üzerinde önemli etkiler yaratmakta ve okul devamsızlığının artmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Dijital bağımlılık, dijital teknolojilerin aşırı kullanımı ile tanımlanmakta ve farklı yaş gruplarında yaygın hale gelmiş, önemli bir toplumsal sorun olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma, astımlı çocuklardaki dijital bağımlılık düzeylerini değerlendirmeyi ve bu bulguları sağlıklı akranları ile karşılaştırmayı, böylece dijital çağda astım yönetimini etkileyen faktörlerin daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu prospektif vaka-kontrol çalışması, Aralık 2023 ile Mart 2024 tarihleri arasında XXX Hastanesi'nin ayaktan çocuk polikliniğinde ve çocuk psikiyatrisi departmanında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri toplama süreci, hem katılımcılarla hem de aileleriyle yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılarak, son altı ay boyunca cihaz kullanım detaylarının toplandığı aşamayı içermektedir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplamda 170 katılımcı dahil edilmiştir; bunların 56'sı kız ve 114'ü erkektir. Katılımcıların medyan yaşı 11 yıl (çeyrek aralığı: 5) olarak belirlenmiştir. Astım grubundaki toplam Dijital Bağımlılık Ölçeği puanı, kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksektir (p = 0.003). Alıcı işletim karakteristik analizi ile elde edilen optimal eşik 50.5 puan olup, bu eşik %63.5 duyarlılık ve %60 özgüllük sağlamıştır. Dijital bağımlılık ile astım arasında p=0.002 anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmış ve odds oranı 2.613 (95% CI: 1.407-4.853) olarak bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Astımlı çocuk ve ergenlerin toplam dijital bağımlılık puanları, sağlıklı akranlarına göre belirgin şekilde daha yüksektir; bu durum, daha fazla araştırmayı gerektiren potansiyel bir ilişkiyi düşündürmektedir. Astım ve dijital bağımlılık arasındaki ilişkinin doğasını netleştirmek için kapsamlı prospektif araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Evaluation of Digital Addiction Levels in Children and Adolescents with Asthma: A Case-Control Study

Yıl 2025, Cilt: 15 Sayı: 2, 1 - 7

Öz

Aim: Asthma remains the most prevalent chronic condition among children, significantly affecting their health and contributing to increased school absenteeism. Digital addiction, defined by the excessive use of digital technologies, has become prevalent across different age groups, emerging as a significant societal concern. This study aims to evaluate the levels of digital addiction in children with asthma and compare these findings with those of their healthy peers, thereby contributing to a better understanding of the factors influencing asthma management in the digital age.
Materials and Methods: This prospective case-control study was conducted at the outpatient paediatric clinic and the child psychiatry department of XXX Hospital between December 2023 and March 2024. Data collection involved structured interviews with both the participants and their parents, during which details regarding device usage over the preceding six months were gathered.
Results: A total of 170 participants were recruited for the study, consisting of 56 females and 114 males, with a median age of 11 years (interquartile range: 5). The overall Digital Addiction Scale for Children score was also significantly higher in the asthma group compared to controls (p = 0.003). The optimal threshold obtained from the receiver operating characteristic analysis was 50.5 points, which provided a sensitivity of 63.5% and a specificity of 60%. A significant association was identified between digital addiction and asthma with p=0.002 and an odds ratio of 2.613 (95% CI: 1.407-4.853).
Conclusion: Children and adolescents with asthma exhibit notably higher total digital addiction scores than their healthy counterparts, suggesting a potential association that merits further research. There is a need for comprehensive prospective investigations to clarify the nature of the relationship between asthma and digital addiction.
