Abstract

Objectıve: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of digital game addiction on physical activities and sleep habits of secondary school students. Method: The study was conducted on 100 middle school students (F: 56, M: 44) who were 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Students' digital game addiction was evaluated by the Digital Game Addiction Scale for Children (DGAS-C), physical activity levels was evaluated by the Primary School Students' Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ), sleep habits was evaluated by Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). Results: There was no statistically significant relationship between DGAS-C and its subgroups and FAQ). There was no statistically significant difference between students' digital play and sleep habits. Students who played digital games for more than 3 hours and more than 3 hours were found to have higher levels of digital game addiction compared to other students. Fifth grade students were found to have higher physical activity levels than 7th and 8th grade students. Conclusion: In this study, no relationship was found between digital game addiction and physical activity and sleep habits of secondary school students. These results may be due to the fact that students' access to digital tools is under parental control and limited access of children to digital game tools for economic reasons.

The Relationship between Digital Game Addiction Tendency and Depressive Symptoms in Children (36–72 Months)

“…Some studies have shown that children who spend excessive time playing digital games have a decrease in academic achievement [24], inadequate and irregular sleep habits [25], insufficient physical activity [26], obesity [27] and musculoskeletal problems [28]. Physical health problems such as dryness, pain and redness in the eyes have also been reported [29].…”

“…Digital game addiction has been seen as a serious problem in terms of causing behavioral problems and focus problems in children [31][32][33][34][35]. Considering the literature [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], it was thought that digital game addiction would be related with serious depression symptoms in young children. In addition, it was thought that by revealing the relationship between digital game addiction and depression in young children, we could attract the attention of researchers working in the field of child health and ensure further examination of this issue, which poses serious risks for children's health.…”
