Özet
Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı üniversitede öğrenim gören genç yetişkinlerde COVID-19 korkusunun internet bağımlılığı ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ile ilişkisinin incelenmesidir.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı anket çalışması olarak planlanan bu araştırmaya, üniversitede öğrenim gören öğrencilerden fiziksel aktivite yapılmasına engel olabilecek kronik bir problemi olmayan 543 öğrenci dahil edildi. Öğrenciler internet tabanlı veri toplama tekniği ile değerlendirildi. Öğrencilerin COVID-19 korkusu COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ile, internet bağımlılık düzeyleri Young İnternet Bağımlılığı Testi Kısa Formu ile, fiziksel aktivite düzeyi Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi Kısa Formu ile sorgulandı.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 543 kişiden 411’i (%75.7) kadın ve 132’si (%24.3) erkekti. Katılımcıların yaşı 22.0±3.0 (18-39) yıldı. Katılımcıların COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği skoru 14.6±5.06 (7-35), Young İnternet Bağımlılık Testi skoru 27.18±7.38 (12-56), Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi skoru ise 940.83±1595.82 idi. Katılımcılar içerisinde fiziksel aktivite yaptığını bildiren 253 kişinin fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri açısından %39.4’ü (100) çok aktif, %35.4’ü (90) minimal aktif, %25.2’si (63) ise inaktifti. COVID-19 korkusu ile internet bağımlılığı arasında pozitif yönde, zayıf düzeyde bir korelasyon saptandı (r=0.214, p<0.001). COVID-19 korkusu ile fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ilişkili değildi (r=-0.068, p=0.133).
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak bu çalışmada, literatürde bildirilen sonuçlarla uyumlu olarak pandemi döneminde üniversite öğrencilerinin COVID-19 korkusunun orta düzeyde olduğu ve internet bağımlılığıyla ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak COVID-19 korkusu fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ile ilişkili bulunmamıştır. Pandemi ve benzeri süreçlerde toplumun bu korkuyla ilişkili olarak bağımlılık davranışı geliştirmesini önlemeye yönelik eğitimler faydalı olabilir. Korku durumuyla ilişki saptanmasa da bireylerin sağlık durumunun iyileştirilmesi için fiziksel aktivitenin devamlılığı da teşvik edilmelidir.
Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between fear of COVID-19, internet addiction and physical activity level in young adults studying at university. Method: In this study, which was planned as a descriptive study, 543 university students who did not have a chronic problem that could prevent physical activity were included. Students were assessed using an internet-based data collection technique. Fear of COVID-19 was assessed with the COVID-19 Fear Scale, internet addiction levels with the Young Internet Addiction Test Short Form, and physical activity levels with the International Physical Activity Test Short Form. Findings: Of the 543 participants, 411 (75.7%) were female and 132 (24.3%) were male. The age of the participants was 22.0±3.0 (18-39) years. The Fear of COVID-19 Scale score of the participants was 14.6±5.06 (7-35), the Young’s Internet Addiction Test score was 27.18±7.38 (12-56), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire score was 940.83±1595.82. Of the 253 participants who reported performing physical activity, 39.4% (100) were very active, 35.4% (90) were minimally active and 25.2% (63) were inactive. A weak positive correlation was found between fear of COVID-19 and internet addiction (r=0.214, p<0.001). Fear of COVID-19 was not associated with physical activity level (r=-0.068, p=0.133). Results: In conclusion, in this study, in line with the results reported in the literature, it was observed that university students' fear of COVID-19 during the pandemic period was at a moderate level and was associated with internet addiction. However, fear of COVID-19 was not associated with physical activity level. In pandemic and similar processes, trainings to prevent the society from developing addictive behaviour related to this fear may be beneficial. Although there is no relationship with fear, the continuity of physical activity should be encouraged to improve the health status of individuals.
