Günümüz teknolojisinin gelişimi ve dijital hayata geçiş hayatımızın birçok alanında kendini göstermektedir. Normal şartlar altında manuel şekilde yapılan birçok işlem dijitalleşmeyle beraber online ortamlara geçmiştir. Bireylerin sağlıklı yaşam alışkanlıklarına paralel olarak bazen özel cihazlarla bazen ise telefon uygulamaları üzerinden takip ettikleri adımsayar, uyku vb. birçok program artık akıllı saatlere taşınmış ve bireyler bu sayede sağlık amaçlı birçok uygulamadan faydalanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada akıllı saat kullanmakta olan akademisyen bireylerin sağlık yaşam alışkanlıkları bağlamında deneyimleri ve hangi nedenlerle akıllı saat kullanımına yöneldikleri, hangi uygulamaları kullanmayı tercih ettikleri sorularına yanıt aranmıştır. Araştırma Nevşehir’de bulunan Kapadokya Üniversitesi ve Hacı Bektaş Veli Üniversitesinden seçilmiş olan akademisyen bireylerdir. Çalışmada 7 kadın ve 6 erkek akademisyenle, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiş ve elde edilen veriler 12. görüşmeciden sonra tekrar etmeye başlaması üzerine görüşmeler sonlandırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak; akıllı saat kullanımının; günlük yürüyüş, su tüketim, nabız vb. sağlık göstergelerini olumlu yönde teşvik ettiği belirtilmiştir.

Öz

The development of today's technology and the transition to digital life show itself in many areas of our lives. Many transactions, which are done manually under normal conditions, have moved to online environments with digitalization. Parallel to the healthy living habits of individuals, sometimes with special devices and sometimes through phone applications, they follow the pedometer, sleep, etc. many programs have now been moved to smart watches and individuals benefit from many applications for health purposes. In this study, answers were sought to the questions of the experiences of academicians who use smart watches in the context of their health life habits, the reasons why they prefer to use smart watches, and which applications they prefer to use. The research consists of academicians selected from Cappadocia University and Hacı Bektaş Veli University in Nevşehir. The study was conducted with 7 female and 6 male academicians through a semi-structured interview form and the interviews were terminated when the data obtained began to repeat after the 12th interviewer. In conclusion; smart watch usage; daily walking, water consumption, heart rate, etc. It has been stated that it positively promotes health indicators.
