Özet:

 Purpose: Numerous studies indicate that the use of smartphones among adolescents has increased recently. Studies on phubbing generally focus on how parental phubbing affects adolescents. This study aims to contribute to the literature by revealing the validity and reliability of the scale measuring phubbing behavior in adolescents. Material and methods: The sample included 206 adolescents aged 12-17 who applied to Pamukkale University Medical Faculty Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Clinics and Kırıkkale Yüksek İhtisas Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic. Results: To evaluate the construct validity of the General Phubbing Scale GPS in adolescents, first and second level confirmatory factor analyses were performed. The data model fit was shown to be at an acceptable level. The general phubbing was negatively related to social connectedness and positively related to internet addiction. Test-retest analysis indicated that the subdimensions nomophobia, interpersonal conflict, self-isolation, problem acknowledgment, and total score were 0.82, 0.80, 0.71, 0.66 and 0.81, respectively. The coefficients of internal consistency for the subdimensions of nomophobia, interpersonal conflict, self-isolation, problem acknowledgment, and total score were 0.78, 0.85, 0.92, 0.77, and 0.94. Furthermore, it has been shown that the GPS structure was identical for both genders. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the GPS can be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining general phubbing levels for the clinical adolescent sample.

 Amaç: Birçok çalışmada son yıllarda ergenler arasında akıllı telefon kullanımının arttığı gösterilmektedir. Phubbing ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalarda, genellikle ebeveyn phubbing davranışının ergenler üzerindeki etkilerine yoğunlaşıldığı görülmektedir. Phubbing davranışını ölçen ve ergenlerdeki geçerlik ve güvenilirliği yapılmış bir ölçeği ortaya koyarak literatüre katkı sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmanın örneklemini, Pamukkale Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Çocuk ve Ergen Ruh Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Polikliniklerine ve Kırıkkale Yüksek İhtisas Hastanesi Çocuk ve Ergen Ruh Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Polikliniğine başvuran 12-17 yaş arası 206 ergen oluşturmaktadır. Bulgular: Genel Phubbing Ölçeğinin GPÖ ergenler için yapı geçerliği test etmek amacıyla birinci ve ikinci düzey doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmış ve veri model uyumunun kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu gösterilmiştir. Genel phubbingin, sosyal bağlılık ile olumsuz yönde ve internet bağımlılığı ile olumlu yönde ilişkili olduğu ortaya koyulmuştur. Test tekrar test analizleri korelasyon sonuçları; nomofobi, kişiler arası çatışma, kişisel izolasyon, problem kabulü alt boyutları ve toplam puan için sırasıyla 0,82, 0,80, 0,71, 0,66 ve 0,81 olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ölçeğin iç tutarlılık katsayısıları ise; nomofobi, kişiler arası çatışma, kişisel izolasyon, problem kabulü alt boyutları ve toplam puan için sırasıyla 0,78, 0,85, 0,92, 0,77 ve 0,94 olarak saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, GPÖnün her iki cinsiyet için de aynı yapıya sahip olduğunu gösterilmiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın bulguları GPÖnün klinik ergen örneklemi için Genel Phubbing düzeylerini belirlemede geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.
