Migren tanısı ile takipli okul çocuğu ve ergenlerin internet kullanım sıklığına göre yaşam kalite indeksi, anksiyete ve depresyon skorlarının, sağlıklı çocuklarla karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Yöntemler: 9-17 yaş arasında, migren tanısı alan 142 hasta ile aynı yaş ve cinsiyetteki 128 sağlıklı çocuk çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların öykü, öz ve soy geçmiş ve antropometrik ölçümleri de içeren fizik muayene bulguları kaydedildi. Hastalar ergen (˃12 yaş) ve ergen öncesi (<12 yaş) olarak gruplandırıldı. Her yaş grubu, İnternet kullanım sıklığına göre 3 gruba ayrıldı: Grup 1: seyrek internet kullananlar (< 1 saat/hafta) Group 2: düzenli internet kullananlar (< 2 saat/ gün, haftada birkaç gün), group 3: sürekli internet kullananlar (˃2 saat /gün, haftanın her günü). Psikiatrik testler çocuklar için yaşam kalitesi ölçek formu (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory for Children: Pe-dQL), çocuk depresyon ölçeği (Child Depression Inventory: CDI) ve nasıl hissediyorum anketi 1,2 (the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children: STAI-C) ile yapıldı.Bulgular: Yaş, cinsiyet ne antropometrik ölçümlerde gruplar arasında fark saptanmadı. 12 yaşın altındaki hastalarda, kontrol grubu ile migren grubu arasında, internet kullanım sıklığına göre depresyon anksiyete ve yaşam kalitesi skorlarında anlamlı fark saptanmadı. Ergen ve sürekli internet kullanan migren grubunda, duygulanım ile ilgili sorunlar ve başkaları ile ilgili sorunlar kategorisinde, kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı fark saptandı (p=0,008 ve p=0,02). Sonuç: Ergen hastalarda, internet kullanımının yoğun olması psikososyal ve duygulanım sorunlarına yol açabilir.

OBJECTIVE: In the last decade, using social network sites (SNSs) has grown and become an integral part of daily routine for adolescents. As known, ADHD is a major public health problem for all addiction types, including the Internet and SNSs addiction. Our aim was to examine the effect of ADHD, impulsivity types, using motivations, internalizing and externalizing symptoms on Facebook (FB) overuse and FB addiction among adolescents. METHODS: Participants were recruited from ADHD and non-ADHD adolescents who were applied to the child and adolescent psychiatry and have an active FB account. We used FB Use and Motivations Form, the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), Bergen FB Addiction Scale (BFAS) and Conners-Wells' Adolescent Self-Report Scale-Long form (CASS:L). RESULTS: Our results indicated that ADHD adolescents have more fake FB accounts, have their own accounts for longer time, are using FB for more motivation types and FB overuse is more frequent than in non-ADHD counterparts. According to the degree of FB use, we have shown that adolescents with FB overuse behaviour have more externalizing symptoms and have higher CASS:L and Barrat impulsivity scores than others. Risk factors for FB overuse are: having a fake FB account and having higher ADHD index scores; risk factors for FB addiction are: higher attentional impulsivity, higher conduct problems scores and higher ADHD index scores. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study have improved our understanding about the risk factors of a new behavioural addiction type among adolescents. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Additionally, clinical entities closely related to hostility (e.g., lack of self-control and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder symptoms) have been consistently associated with IA (La Rose, Lin, & Eastin, 2003;Yen et al, 2007). In the present paper, hostility is conceived as comprising thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors characterizing the negative affect state of anger, including qualities such as aggression, irritability, rage, and resentment (Holi, 2003).…”

“…This finding corroborates several cross-sectional and longitudinal studies (Ko et al, 2009;Kuss et al, 2014;Yen et al, 2008), and it expands the existing knowledge by indicating that the risk effect of hostility holds until the age of 18 years (non-significant interaction with time). Research suggests more hostile adolescents develop IA behaviors as a way to escape or avoid the distress they experience due to their symptoms (Yen et al, 2007).…”

Internet addiction (IA) has become an increasingly researched topic. In the present study, IA symptoms in adolescents were investigated longitudinally with specific focus on the individual's hostility, gaming use (of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games MMORPG gamers and more hostile adolescents presented more symptoms of IA. However, being a member of a classroom with a higher percentage of MMORPG gamers appeared to be a protective factor for IA. These longitudinal data emphasize the importance of contextual factors at the level of the classroom in determining differences in IA symptoms during adolescence.
