Özet:

 Objective: University students are the age group at highest risk in terms of social media addiction and accompanying behavioral disorders. In this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between social media addiction and attitudes towards healthy eating in midwifery and nursing students. Material and Methods: The data required for the cross-sectional study were obtained by the online questionnaire method. Social Media Addiction Scale SMAS was used to measure the level of social media use. In the measurement of attitudes towards healthy eating, the Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition ASHN was applied. Results: The mean SMAS score of 188 students participating in the study was 100.631.0. The mean ASHN score was 75.58.8. While the ASHN score was found to be lower in the students living alone, the SMAS score was found to be higher in those whose average household income level was above the minimum wage. A low degree of negative and significant correlation was found between the students SMAS scores and ASHN scores. Statistical significance level was accepted as p0.05 for all tests. Conclusion: As the use of social media increased, it was determined that the attitude towards healthy eating was negatively affected. Preventive studies on behavioral addictions are required in gaining healthy living behaviors.

 Amaç: Üniversite öğrencileri sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve eşlik eden davranışsal bozukluklar yönünden en fazla risk altında olan yaş grubunda yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada ebelik ve hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinin, sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve sağlıklı beslenmeye yönelik tutumları arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipteki çalışma için gerekli veriler çevrimiçi anket yöntemi ile elde edildi. Sosyal medya kullanım düzeyinin ölçümünde Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığı Ölçeği SMBÖ kullanıldı. Sağlıklı beslenmeye yönelik tutumlarının ölçümünde ise Sağlıklı Beslenmeye İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği SBİTÖ uygulandı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi tüm testler için p0,05 olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 188 öğrencinin SMBÖ puan ortalaması 100,631,0; SBİTÖ puan ortalaması ise 75,58,8 bulundu. Yalnız yaşayan öğrencilerde SBİTÖ puanı daha düşük saptanırken, ortalama hanehalkı gelir düzeyi asgari ücret üstünde olanlarda SMBÖ puanı daha yüksek bulundu. Öğrencilerin SMBÖ puanları ile SBİTÖ puanları arasında düşük derecede negatif ve anlamlı korelasyon saptandı. Sonuç: Sosyal medya kullanımı arttıkça, sağlıklı beslenmeye ilişkin tutumun olumsuz yönde etkilendiği belirlenmiştir. Sağlıklı yaşam davranışları kazandırmada, davranışsal bağımlılıklara yönelik önleyici çalışmalar gerekmektedir.
