Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of problematic internet use of adolescents and their level of satisfaction with family life. Material and method: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 508 volunteer students who were attending high schools in Yozgat city centre in the 2021-2022 academic year. The research data were collected between 27.12.2021-22.04.2022, using a Personal Information Form, the Problematic Internet Use Scale, and the Family Life Satisfaction Scale. Questionnaires created through Google Forms were sent to students' smartphones. In the data analysis, the t-test, One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used. Results: The results of the analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between the problematic internet use of adolescents and their level of satisfaction with family life (r:-0.262, p<0.001). An increase in family life satisfaction was determined to reduce the level of problematic internet use (β1:-0.209, p<0.001). Family income and academic achievement were found to be predictors of problematic internet use (p<0.05). Conclusion: From the results of the study, it was concluded that problematic internet use behavior increased in adolescents with low family life satisfaction. In this context, it is recommended to conduct preventive, protective, and educational studies that emphasize the importance of the family in the development of adolescents as healthy internet users, and to include the use of different methods in the follow-up studies, including other possible predictors.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırmada ergenlerin problemli internet kullanım düzeyleri ile aile yaşam doyumu düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve yöntem: Araştırma, 2021-2022 Eğitim-Öğretim yılında Yozgat il merkezinde bulunan liselerde öğrenim gören öğrencilerden gönüllü olan 508 öğrencinin katıldığı kesitsel desende tanımlayıcı bir araştırmadır. Araştırma verileri, 27.12.2021-22.04.2022 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Problemli İnternet Kullanımı Ölçeği, Aile Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Veriler, öğrencilerin akıllı telefonlarına gönderilen Google Form anketleri aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde t testi, Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi (ANOVA), korelasyon analizi ve lineer regresyon analizi tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Bulgular: Yapılan analiz sonucunda ergenlerin problemli internet kullanımı ile aile yaşam doyumu düzeyleri arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu (r:-0.262, p<0.001) ve aile yaşam doyumunun artmasının problemli internet kullanım düzeyini azalttığı saptanmıştır (β1:-0.209, p<0.001). Ayrıca aile geliri ve okul başarısı düzeylerinin problemli internet kullanımının birer yordayıcısı olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonucunda aile yaşam doyumu düşük olan bireylerde problemli internet kullanımı davranışının arttığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, ergenlerin sağlıklı kullanıcılar olarak gelişmelerinde ailenin öneminin vurgulandığı önleyici, koruyucu ve eğitici çalışmaların yapılması ve takip edecek çalışmalarda, başka olası yordayıcıları da içerecek şekilde ve farklı yöntemlerin kullanımına yer verilmesi önerilmektedir.
