Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmamızda tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinde akıllı telefon bağımlılığı, depresyon ve anksiyete arasındaki ilişkiyigöstermeyi amaçladık.
Çalışma Planı: Çalışmamıza tıp fakültesinde öğrenim gören, 18-25 yaş aralığında toplam 297 öğrenci (kadın n=200, erkek n=97) katıldı. Akıllı telefon bağımlılığı Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği (ATBÖ) ile, depresyon düzeyi Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ) ile, anksiyete düzeyi ise Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği (BAÖ) ile değerlendirildi. Ayrıca tüm katılımcılardan sosyodemografik bilgi formunu doldurmaları istendi. İlgili ölçekler ile veri toplama süreci online sistem üzerinden gerçekleştirildi. İstatistiksel yöntemde bağımsız gruplar t-testi, Pearson’s korelasyon testi ve aracılık analizi kullanıldı. P<0,05 düzeyi istatistiki olarak anlamlı kabul edildi.
Bulgular:Günlük akıllı telefon kullanım süresi, akıllı telefon bağımlılık düzeyi, depresyon ve anksiyete ölçek puanları anlamlı düzeyde ve pozitif yönde korele bulundu.Aracılık analizi sonuçları akıllı telefon bağımlılığının, depresyon ile telefon kullanma süresi arasındaki ilişkiye tam aracılık ettiğini gösterdi. Ayrıca depresyon düzeyindeki artışla birlikte akıllı telefon bağımlılığının arttığı, telefon kullanma süresi kontrol edildiğinde dahi bu ilişkinin anlamlılığını koruduğu gözlendi. Ek olarak, erkeklere kıyasla kadınlarda günlük telefon kullanım süresi, akıllı telefon bağımlılık düzeyi, depresyon ve anksiyete ölçek puanları anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu.
Sonuç:Bulgularımız akıllı telefon bağımlılığı, depresyon ve anksiyete arasında kuvvetli bir ilişki olduğunu, ayrıca duygu durum bozuklukları açısından kadınların daha yüksek risk grubunda olduğunu göstermektedir.

The Relationship Between Smartphone Addiction, Depression, And Anxiety in Faculty of Medicine Students
Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between smartphone addiction, depression, and anxiety in medical school students.
Study Design:A total of 297 students (female n = 200, male n = 97) between the ages of 18-25, studying at the medical faculty, participated in our study. Smartphone addiction was evaluated with the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS), depression level with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and anxiety level with the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Also, all participants were asked to fill in the sociodemographic information form. The data collection process with relevant scales was carried out through the online system. Independent groups t-test, Pearson's correlation test, and mediatedregressionanalysis were used in the statistical method. P<0.05 level was considered statistically significant.
Results:A significant and positive correlation was found between the daily duration of smartphone use, smartphone addiction level, depression, and anxiety scale scores. Mediatedregression analysis results showed that smartphone addiction fully mediates the relationship between depression and duration of phone use. Also, it was observed that smartphone addiction increased with the increase in the level of depression, and this relationship remained significant even when the duration of phone use was controlled. Additionally, compared to men, the daily phone use duration, smartphone addiction level, depression, and anxiety scale scores were found to be significantly higher in women.
Conclusion: Our findings show that there is a strong relationship between smartphone addiction, depression, and anxiety and that women are in a higher risk group for mood disorders.
