Abstract

Objective: The aim of this research is to examine theprevalance of internet addiction and relationshipbetween internet addiction (IA) and eating attitudes andquality of life in Erzurum Atatürk University faculty students. Method: A total of 466 faculty students from various faculties were included in the study.Sociodemographic data form created by researchers,Young Internet Addiction Scale (IAT), Obesity-RelatedProblems Scale (OR) and Eating Attitude Test-40 (EAT-40)were applied to the participants. Body Mass Index of theparticipants was calculated manually by the researchers.Results: 78.5 of the students were found to have IA. IAwas found at a mild level in 52.6% of the students, moderate level in 24.2% and severe level in 1.7%. There wasa positive correlation between the total score of IAT andthe alcohol use and psychiatric history. There was only astatistically significant relationship between the severityof IA and OR. There was no statistically significant relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and EAT-40.When the IAT and BMI, EAT-40 and OR correlation wereexamined, only a statistically significant but weak relationship was found in OR. Discussion: Although thereare some cross-sectional studies, revealing the significant relationship between IA and abnormal eating attitudes, there are also studies revealing no significant relationship. But it is clear that there is no definitive resultwith the limitations of the current studies.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Erzurum Atatürk Üniversitesi öğrencileri arasında internet bağımlılığı yaygınlığı ve internet bağımlılığının öğrencilerin yeme tutumları ve yaşam kaliteleri üzerine etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya farklı fakültelerden toplam 466 öğrenci dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcılara yazarlar tarafından hazırlanan sosyodemografik veri formu, Young İnternet Bağımlılığı Testi, Şişmanlıkla İlgili Sorunlar Ölçeği (ŞİSÖ) ve Yeme Tutumu Testi-40 (YTT-40) uygulanmıştır. Vücut Kitle İndeksi (VKİ) araştırmacılar tarafından hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %78,5’inde internet bağımlılığı olduğu tespit edildi. Öğrencilerin %52,6’sında hafif şiddette, %24,2’sinde orta/ılımlı düzeyde, %1.7’sinde ise ağır düzeyde internet bağımlılığı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. İnternet bağımlılığı şiddeti ile alkol kullanımı arasında ve yine internet bağımlılığı şiddeti ile psikiyatrik hastalık özgeçmişi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. İnternet bağımlılığı şiddeti ile ŞİSÖ arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. İnternet bağımlılığı şiddeti puanı ile VKİ, YTT-40 puanı ve ŞİSÖ arasında korelasyon bakıldığında yalnızca ŞİSÖ’de istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmakla beraber zayıf bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Her ne kadar bazı kesitsel çalışmalarda internet bağımlılığı ile yeme tutumları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu ortaya konmuşken bazı çalışmalarda ise bu ilişki ortaya konamamıştır. Bu alanda yapılan güncel çalışmaların kısıtlılığı nedeni ile aradaki ilişki net değildir.
