Abstract:

 Screen addiction is a common public health problem that causes significant harm to both individuals and society. This studys primary purpose is to examine the factors associated with screen addiction and to propose a sustainable solution to screen addiction. This research was conducted on staff who work at Cukurova University. Phone addiction, internet addiction and physical activity level were evaluated with Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form SAS-SF, Internet Addiction Scale IAS, and International Physical Activity Survey Short Form IPAQ-SF, consecutively. Craniovertebral angle was measured with a goniometer and shoulder protraction was measured with a tape measure. The study group consisted of 189 individuals 111 women and 78 men. The mean age was 44.15  11.25 years min: 23, max: 60. The addiction level was determined to be higher in the sedentary individuals. Phone and internet addiction is statistically higher in sedentary individuals than in individuals with sports habits P0.05. While internet addiction is associated with age, body mass index, sports year, sports frequency, sports duration, back pain, shoulder protraction angle, severe activity level, moderate activity level, and sitting activity; phone addiction was found to be associated with age, sleep duration, sports year, sports frequency, sports duration, back pain, severe activity level, moderate activity level, and sitting activity P0.05. Sleep duration is especially negatively affected by phone addiction P0.01; r-0.23. Internet addiction was found to be more related to postural problems P0.01; r0.024. Consequently, sports habits are a crucial factor in preventing screen addiction. Which sports branches will be more effective for addicted individuals and what motivating activities should be done to direct working individuals to sports will require further study.
