18 Yaş Altı İki Farklı Yaş Grubunda Mobil Teknoloji Ve Bilgisayar Kullanım Alışkanlıkları İle Postürlerinin Karşılaştırılması
Abstract
Giriş ve Amaç: Günümüzde artan teknoloji kullanımı nedeniyle gelişim çağındaki bireylerin teknolojik cihazlar ve internette geçirdiği zamanın kontrolsüzlüğü postüral rahatsızlıklara sebep olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; 18 yaş altı iki farklı yaş grubunda ki bireylerin mobil teknoloji ve bilgisayar kullanım alışkanlıklarını incelemek ve postürlerini karşılaştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 7-12 yaş grubu (Grup 1, n=48) ve 12-18 yaş grubundan (Grup 2, n=40) toplam 88 sağlıklı birey dahil edildi. Değerlendirmede katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özellikleri, vücut kütle indeksleri ile bel çevresi ölçümlerini içeren ve mobil teknoloji ve bilgisayar kullanım özelliklerini sorgulayan bir araştırma anket formu kullanıldı. Katılımcılar ayrıca New York Postür Değerlendirme Testi (NYPDT) ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması Grup 1 için 9,94±1,29 yıl iken, Grup 2 için 14,33±1,94 yıl idi. Katılımcıların bilgisayarla en çok vakit geçirdikleri aktivite; Grup 1 için oyun oynamak (%54,2), Grup 2 için ise müzik dinlemek (%60) idi. Katılımcıların cep telefonunu en çok hangi aktivite için kullandıkları incelendiğinde; Grup 1’in oyun oynamak (%37,5), Grup 2’nin ise internette serbest zaman geçirmek (%77,5) amacıyla kullandığı görüldü. İki grup arasında NYPDT skoru açısından Grup 1 lehine anlamlı bir fark olduğu belirlendi (p=0,0001).
Sonuç: Gelişim dönemindeki bireylerin teknoloji kullanım özellikleri ve postüral düzgünlükleri incelendiğinde, artan yaş ile teknoloji kullanımının da arttığını görmekteyiz. Daha büyük yaş grubundaki bireylerin teknolojik cihazları internet kullanımı gibi sebeplerle ve daha uzun sürelerle kullanmalarının postürlerini olumsuz etkilediğini düşünmekteyiz.

Comparison of Mobile Technology and Computer Usage Habits and Postures in Two Different Age Groups Under 18
Abstract
Objective: Nowadays, due to the increasing use of technology, uncontrolled use of technological devices and time spent on the internet can cause postural disturbances in individuals on developmental age. The aim of this study was to examine the technology usage characteristics of individuals aged 18 and under and to compare these characteristics and postural alignment in different age groups.
Materials and Methods: A total of 88 healthy individuals from 7-12 age group (Group 1, n=48) and 12-18 age group (Group 2, n=40) were included in the study. Socio-demographic characteristics of the participants were questioned with “Patient Evaluation Form”. Participants were also evaluated with “The New York Posture Rating” (NYPR).
Results: The mean age of the participants was 9.94 ± 1.29 years for Group 1 and 14.33 ± 1.94 years for Group 2. The activity that participants had the most time with computer; playing games in Group 1 (54.2%) and listening to music in Group 2 (60%). Participants most commonly used their mobile phone; playing games in Group 1 (37.5%) and spending free time on the Internet for Group 2 (77.5%). There was a significant difference between groups in favor of Group 1 for NYPR score (p=0.0001).
Conclusion: When the technology usage characteristics and the postural alignment of the individuals on developmental age are examined, we see that technology usage increases with increasing age. We think that the use of technological devices by adolescents for long periods of time due to internet usage or etc adversely affects their posture.
