Özet:

 


The present study aimed to show the change in the
prevalence of internet addiction detected among high school students from data
collected in 2012 to that collected in 2016. This cross-sectional study was
conducted in 13 high schools in 2016. The prevalence of internet addiction in
2012 and 2016 was compared using the Z-test. The risk factors for internet
addiction were determined using Binary Logistic Regression analysis. The study
population consisted of 1061 students, 531 of which
were female (50.1%). Of the 1061 students, 234 (22.1%) had an internet
addiction (18.9% in males, 25.2% in females, p<0.05). In comparison with the data collected in 2012, the
prevalence of internet addiction in male students had not changed in the four
years, while it had changed dramatically in female students (p<0.001). Internet addiction was
influenced 1.76 times by female students, 2.08 times by gaming, and 1.4 times
by an increase in online applications. Internet addiction among high school
students increased from 2012 to 2016 in the evaluated schools. The main factor
for this is the increase in the internet addictionin female students.
