Aim:The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between family functionality perceptions of 12-15-year-old middle school students and sociodemographic variables. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 859 children between the ages of 12-15 in three primary schools. Data were collected using a survey form containing 14 questions about the students' sociodemographic characteristics and the Family Assessment Scale (FAS) consisting of 60 items were used. Results: It was found that the highest average score of the students was in the 'roles' sub-dimension (28.81±2.71) and the lowest average score was in the 'problem-solving' sub-dimension (11.33±3.63) of the FAS, with the age of the students and the FAS sub-dimension. It was determined that the difference between all dimensions, gender, and "behavior control" was significant (p<0.05). The difference between maternal education level and all of the FAD sub-dimensions (p<0.05), and father education level and all sub-dimensions except problem-solving (Communication, Roles, Emotional Responsiveness, Showing Due Care, Behavior Control, General Functions) were significant (p<0.05). 0.05), among all sub-dimension items (PÇ, İLT, R, DTV, GİG, Gİ) except for 'behavior control' and family income level (p<0.05), children whose mothers and fathers are separated were 'showing the necessary attention' and it was determined that the difference between the sub-dimension mean scores of behavioral control were significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: One of the most important results of this study is that as the education level of mothers increases, students perceive their families more functional. Likewise, as the family income level increases, students perceive their families as more functional. This study is important in terms of determining the functional and nonfunctional areas of the family.

Introduction: Internet addiction has developed into a major public health issue as a result of technological improvements. The aim of this study is to determine their views on the effects of the internet on adolescents with problematic internet use and to examine the level of internet addiction of adolescents. Methods: This is a mixed-method- study. The total sample size was 349 secondary school students. The study interview group consisted of 60 students. Data were collected through the focus group method. Descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis were used in the quantitative data analysis while thematic analysis was used in the qualitative data analysis. Results: The mean total score of internet addiction for all students wa 35.63 (4.44). The students with a mean internet score of &lt;30 had a mean score of 19.03 (5.66), and the students with a mean internet score of ≥30 had a mean score of 22.17 (8.49). Three main themes were identified, which were 'path to problematic internet use', 'impacts of internet', and 'safe internet'. Conclusions: From the perspective of the children regarding the three themes in this study, the internet was found to be beneficial for accessing information. However, the results also showed that children were exposed to risks on the internet. Within the context of the study results, nurses can determine the factors causing uncontrolled access to the internet among children. Moreover, interventions can be planned in accordance with the needs.
