Abstract
Amaç:Çalışmamızda üniversite öğrencilerinde televizyon, bilgisayar ve cep telefonu kullanım sürelerinin depresyon ve uyku sorunu yaşamaya etkisinin olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır.
Hastalar ve Yöntem:Çalışma tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Çalışma, 01/05/2017-01/10/2017 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın evrenini, bir üniversitenin tıp fakültesi (n:61), sağlık yüksekokulu (n:236) ve sağlık meslek yüksekokulunda (n:251) okuyan toplam 548 birinci sınıf öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Veriler, literatür taraması ile oluşturulan anket formu ve Beck Depresyon Ölçeği aracılığı ile toplanmıştır.
Bulgular:Bilgisayar ve televizyon kullanım süresi ile uyku sorunu yaşama ve Beck Depresyon Ölçeği ortalamaları arasında bir ilişki bulunamamıştır (p>0.05). Cep telefonunu 1 yıldan fazla kullananlar ile günde 3 saat ve üstü kullananların uyku sorunu yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Cep telefonunu günde 3 saat ve üstü kullananların Beck Depresyon Ölçeği ortalamalarının 3 saatten az kullananlara göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05).
Sonuç:Cep telefonu kullanım süresinin fazla olması radyasyon maruziyetini arttırmaktadır. Bu durum üniversite öğrencilerinde depresif belirtilerin artmasına ve uyku sorunu yaşamalarına neden olmaktadır.

Abstract
Purpose:The university students, televisions, computers and mobile phones have investigated whether there is an effect of their lifetime to experience depression and sleep problems.
Patients and Methods:The study is descriptive. The study was conducted between 01/05/2017-01/10/2017. The student\'s universe consists of a total of 548 first-year students studying at a university faculty of medicine (n: 61), health college (n: 236) and health vocational college (n: 251). The data were collected through a questionnaire prepared by literature search and the Beck Depression Scale.
Results:There was no correlation between the duration of computer and television use and the sleep problems and Beck Depression Scale averages (p> 0.05). We determined that those who use mobile phone for more than 1 year and those who use 3 hours or more per day have a sleep problem (p <0.05). We found that those who use mobile phone more than 3 hours a day are higher than those who use less than 3 hours average of Beck Depression Scale (p <0.05).
Conclusion:Excessive use of mobile phones increases radiation exposure. This situation leads to an increase in depressive symptoms and to a sleeping problem in university students.
