Abstract

Aim: To investigate the relationship between digital game addiction and sleepiness in adolescents. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 263 adolescents studying in three high schools in a district center in the Western Black Sea region, who consented to participate in the study. Data were collected between March and May 2024 using the "Descriptive Information Form," "Digital Game Addiction Scale," and "Epworth Sleepiness Scale." Results: The mean total score of the Digital Game Addiction Scale was 15.39±6.10, while the mean total score of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale was 7.37±4.42. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale indicated that 30% of adolescents exhibited daytime sleepiness issues. A strong positive correlation was observed between the Digital Game Addiction Scale and Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores of adolescents (r=0.400, p<0.001). Adolescents with higher mean scores on the Digital Gaming Addiction Scale were 51% more likely to experience daytime sleepiness. The prevalence of daytime sleepiness was found to be 32% higher in adolescents who reported being sleep deprived due to digital game playing. Conclusion: The study revealed that adolescents with high digital game addiction also exhibited high levels of sleepiness. It is recommended that adolescents and their parents be made aware of the adverse effects of unregulated and excessive digital game playing on sleep patterns in adolescents.

Özet

Amaç: Adölesanlarda dijital oyun bağımlılığı ile uykululukları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel çalışma, Batı Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde bir ilçe merkezinde bulunan üç lisede öğrenim gören ve araştırmayı kabul eden 263 adölesan ile yapıldı. Çalışma verileri Mart-Mayıs 2024 tarihleri arasında “Tanıtıcı bilgi formu”, “Dijital Oyun Bağımlılığı Ölçeği” ve “Epworth Uykululuk Ölçeği” ile toplandı. Bulgular: Adölesanların Dijital Oyun Bağımlılığı Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 15.39±6.10 ve Epworth Uykululuk Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 7.37±4.42’ydi. Epworth Uykululuk Ölçeği’ne göre adölesanların %30.0’u gündüz uykululuk problemi yaşıyordu. Adölesanların Dijital Oyun Bağımlılığı Ölçeği ve Epworth Uykululuk Ölçeği puanları arasında pozitif yönde güçlü bir korelasyon vardı (r=0.400, p<0.001). Dijital Oyun Bağımlılığı Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması daha yüksek olan adölesanların gündüz uykululuk yaşama olasılığı %51 kat daha fazlaydı. Dijital oyun oynama nedeniyle uykusuz kalmak adölesanların gündüz uykululuk durumunun oluşmasını %32 kat arttırmaktadır. Sonuç: Bu araştırmada dijital oyun bağımlılığı yüksek yüksek olan adölesanların uykululuk durumlarının da yüksek olarak belirlendi. Adölesanlarda uykululuk üzerinde kontrolsüz ve aşırı dijital oyun oynamanın oluşturduğu olumsuz etkiler konusunda adölesanlar ve ebeveynleri bilgilendirmelidir.
