Özet:

 Objective: The present study aimed to describe screen use patterns among Turkish adolescents during the coronavirus disease 19 COVID-19 pandemic with a special emphasis on social media and digital gaming addiction, and explore how these are linked to adolescents mental and academic well-being. Materials and Method: The study sample consisted of 9th to 12th grade students from three public high-schools in Istanbul, Turkey n201. Participants were required to complete a comprehensive questionnaire which gathered information about various domains including problematic screen use, attitudes towards online education, and mentalacademic well-being during the lockdown period. Results: The overall screen time exhibited a significant increase during the lockdown, with the most common discretionary screen activities being social media use, communication, and watching moviesseries p0.001. The students spent significantly less time on physical activities p0.003 and face-to-face meetings with their friends p0.001. Male students presented with higher scores on gaming addiction p0.001, whereas a significantly higher proportion of the female students 28.57 vs. 14.81 were classified as atrisk for social media addiction p0.046. Both gaming addiction and social media addiction were associated with higher depression scores p0.003 and p0.001 respectively. Conclusion: Screen use patterns may have diverse consequences for youths well-being during the pandemic. The addiction risk and other detrimental outcomes are likely to be associated with the qualitative features of screen activities, rather than just the amount of time spent on digital media by the adolescents.
