Official title

Relationship of Multidimensional Factors with Digital Addiction Among University Students: a Cross-Sectional Study

Overview

The aim of this study is to contribute to our understanding of digital media addiction by investigating the prevalence of digital addiction among university students and examining the relationship between variables such as body awareness, physical activity levels, hand grip strength, upper extremity function and pain-dash, quality of life, depression, stress, anxiety, sleep quality, and cognitive levels and digital addiction.

Detailed description

After recording the demographic information of all individuals participating in the study, screen addiction, BMI, body awareness, physical activity levels, handgrip strength, upper extremity pain and function and pain-dash, quality of life, depression, stress, anxiety, sleep quality, cognitive levels will be evaluated. Individuals will be asked to fill out self-report questionnaires.

Interventions

  • Other Musculoskeletal System Health Questionnaire Scale

  • Other Cognitive Failures Questionnaire
    The questionnaire aims to measure daily cognitive errors. It assesses simple errors made over the last 6 weeks, as well as perception (e.g., are there times when you can't see something you need at the supermarket even though it's there?), memory (e.g., have you ever forgotten people's names?) and motor functioning (e.g., have you ever bumped into anyone?).
  • Other Jamar hand dynamometer
    Jamar hand dynamometer - students will perform grip strength assessments with their dominant hand while seated. As recommended by the American Association of Hand Therapists protocol, students will sit in a comfortable chair with their shoulders neutrally rotated and adducted, elbow flexed to 90°, and wrist and forearm in neutral positions.
  • Other Depression Anxiety Stress Scale - 21 Short Form
    DASÖ-21 consists of 3 subcategories (depression, anxiety and stress). Each category consists of 7 separate questions and a total of 21 questions.
