Özet:

 Today, with the widespread use of technologies such as computers, smart phones and the internet, access to digital games is increasing and the effects of playing digital games are becoming more evident day by day. Especially, adolescent high school and university students appear as the most important risk group for internet gaming disorder as well as other addictions. There is a need for studies that will guide the prevention and intervention studies and determine the prevalence and etiology of internet gaming disorder, especially in young individuals who are in the risk group. In this study, it is aimed to determine the frequency of internet gaming disorder and effective factors in high school and university students. The research is a cross-sectional type study conducted with a total of 1350 participants studying at Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences and two high schools in Sincan and Çankaya. The data source of the research is the questionnaire form that includes socio-demographic information, some health-related characteristics of the participants, information evaluating game addiction and the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale Short Form IGDS9-SF. The prevalence of possible internet gaming disorder in the study was 5.6. In the logistic regression analysis, it was observed that the factors affecting internet gaming disorder were being male OR:2,850, separation or death of parents OR:4,127, being a single child OR:4,560, not doing physical activity OR.3,165, lack of self-confidence OR:3,029, poor family relationships OR:5,427, preferring online games OR.7,034. It is important to plan intervention studies and raise awareness for internet gaming disorder, which has become an important public health problem when evaluated with its results.

 Günümüzde bilgisayar, akıllı telefon gibi teknolojilerin ve internet kullanımının yaygınlaşması ile dijital oyunlara ulaşım artmakta ve dijital oyun oynamanın etkileri gün geçtikçe daha belirgin hale gelmektedir. Özellikle adölesan ve genç erişkin grubunda yer alan lise ve üniversite öğrencileri diğer bağımlılıklarda olduğu gibi internet oyun bağımlılığı için de en önemli risk grubu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Koruma ve müdahale çalışmaları için yol gösterecek ve özellikle risk grubu olan genç bireylerde internet oyun bağımlılığının yaygınlığını ve etyolojisini belirleyecek çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada lise ve üniversite öğrencilerinde internet oyun bağımlılığı sıklığı ve etkili faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma, Gazi Üniversitesine bağlı Tıp Fakültesi, Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi ve Sincan ve Çankayada belirlenen birer lisede eğitim gören toplam 1350 katılımcı ile yürütülen kesitsel tipte bir araştırmadır. Araştırmanın veri kaynağı sosyo demografik bilgileri, katılımcıların sağlıkla ilgili bazı özelliklerini, oyun bağımlılığını değerlendiren bilgileri ve İnternet Oyun Bağımlılığı Ölçeği Kısa Formunu IGDS9-SF içeren anket formudur. Çalışmada olası internet oyun bağımlılığı prevalansı 5,6dır. Lojistik regresyon analizinde internet oyun bağımlılığına etki eden faktörlerin erkek olma OR:2,850, ebeveynlerin ayrı olması veya vefatı OR:4,127, tek çocuk olma OR:4,560, fiziksel aktivite yapmama OR.3,165, kendine güven duymama OR:3,029, aile ilişkilerinin kötü olması OR:5,427, online oyunları tercih etme OR.7,034 olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Sonuçları ile birlikte değerlendirildiğinde önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu haline gelen internet oyun bağımlılığı için müdahale çalışmaları planlamak ve farkındalık oluşturmak önemlidir.
