Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the education given in technology addiction course to nursing students studying at a foundation university on students' perspectives on addiction and addiction levels.A self-report online survey method was used to collect data. After the data collection tools used were made suitable for filling in the online environment, the questionnaires were delivered to the participants using e-mail and social media networks. The pretest was collected just before the start of the personal development phase training on technology addiction. Then, technology addiction personal development training planned by the researcher was applied to the students in the experimental group for 10 weeks. After the end of the lessons, the same questionnaires were used as a posttest application. The same data collection tools were applied to the control group without any intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Technology Addiction Scale

    The scale to be used to evaluate this measure is the technology dependency scale. When interpreting the arithmetic averages of the whole scale, the 0-24 score range is "Not dependent", the 25-48 score range is "Low dependent", the 49-72 score range is "Moderately dependent", the 73-96 score range is "Highly Dependent", 97- The 120 point range is accepted as "Full Dependent". Cronbach Alpha values for the sub-dimensions of the scale were 0.786 for Social Network Addiction, 0.806 for Instant Messaging Addiction, 0.897 for Online Game Addiction, and 0.861 for Web Sites.Percentage, frequency and mean values will be used. To compare the results, the means obtained from the first and second measurements of the experimental and control groups will be compared with the t-test in the dependent groups.
