The relationship between social media addiction, insomnia, and depression in adolescents.
This study aims to investigate the relationship between social media addiction, insomnia, and depression in adolescents. This correlational-cross-sectional-descriptive study involved 780 adolescents (mean age: 15.11 ± 1.20; 50.5% female) from high schools in a city center in Eastern Turkey. Data were gathered using a personal information form and validated scales, including the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, Bergen Insomnia Scale, and 6-item Kutcher Depression Scale. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0, AMOS V 24.0, and G*Power 3.1 statistical package programs. It was determined that the mean score of adolescents' social media addiction was 15.81 ± 5.50, the mean score of insomnia was 16.98 ± 10.84 and the mean score of depression was 7.30 ± 4.47. A significant positive relationship was observed between social media addiction and both insomnia and depression. Additionally, insomnia and depression were significantly correlated. Social media usage time was positively associated with higher levels of social media addiction, insomnia, and depression. Depression was found to mediate the relationship between social media addiction and insomnia. Pediatric and school health nurses are encouraged to assess adolescents' social media usage habits, including time spent online, and develop monitoring and intervention programs. These programs can provide immediate support to address social media-related psychological and behavioral issues effectively.
期刊介绍：
Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management.
For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
