About this trial

The aim of this study is to contribute to our understanding of digital media addiction by investigating the prevalence of digital addiction among university students and examining the relationship between variables such as body awareness, physical activity levels, hand grip strength, upper extremity function and pain-dash, quality of life, depression, stress, anxiety, sleep quality, and cognitive levels and digital addiction.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Musculoskeletal System Health Questionnaire Scale

    Other intervention

    It is a 14-item scale that evaluates pain intensity, physical function, sleep, fatigue, emotional state, physical activity level, impact on work and social life, independence, self-management ability and general impact.

  • International Physical Activity Questionnaire (short form)

    Other intervention

    International Physical Activity Questionnaire (short form) - The IPAQ assesses a range of physical activities, including leisure-time physical activities, indoor and outdoor activities, work-related physical activities, and transportation-related physical activities.

  • Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

    Other intervention

    It is a questionnaire that evaluates sleep quality with questions asked under 7 main headings: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, use of sleep aids and daytime functions.

  • Cognitive Failures Questionnaire

    Other intervention

    The questionnaire aims to measure daily cognitive errors. It assesses simple errors made over the last 6 weeks, as well as perception (e.g., are there times when you can't see something you need at the supermarket even though it's there?), memory (e.g., have you ever forgotten people's names?) and motor functioning (e.g., have you ever bumped into anyone?).

  • Jamar hand dynamometer

    Other intervention

    Jamar hand dynamometer - students will perform grip strength assessments with their dominant hand while seated. As recommended by the American Association of Hand Therapists protocol, students will sit in a comfortable chair with their shoulders neutrally rotated and adducted, elbow flexed to 90°, and wrist and forearm in neutral positions.

  • Depression Anxiety Stress Scale - 21 Short Form

    Other intervention

    DASÖ-21 consists of 3 subcategories (depression, anxiety and stress). Each category consists of 7 separate questions and a total of 21 questions.

  • Body Awareness Questionnaire

    Other intervention

    The questionnaire aims to determine the level of body composition sensitivity.

  • SF-12

    Other intervention

    This questionnaire consists of two general components related to physical and mental function, consisting of 12 questions and 8 scales measuring physical function (2 questions), bodily pain (1 question), role limitations due to physical problems (2 questions), general health (1 question) vitality (40).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Musculoskeletal System Health Questionnaire Scale

It is a 14-item scale that evaluates pain intensity, physical function, sleep, fatigue, emotional state, physical activity level, impact on work and social life, independence, self-management ability and general impact.Each Question is scored from 0-4. Higher scores indicate better MSK health status.

Time frame
24-48 hours
2

International Physical Activity Questionnaire (short form)

The IPAQ assesses a range of physical activities, including leisure-time physical activities, indoor and outdoor activities, work-related physical activities, and transportation-related physical activities.

Time frame
24-48 hours
3

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

It is a questionnaire that evaluates sleep quality with questions asked under 7 main headings: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, use of sleep aids and daytime functions.Higher overall scores indicate poorer sleep quality

Time frame
24-48 hours
4

Cognitive Failures Questionnaire

The questionnaire aims to measure daily cognitive errors. It assesses simple errors made over the last 6 weeks, as well as perception (e.g., are there times when you can't see something you need at the supermarket even though it's there?), memory (e.g., have you ever forgotten people's names?) and motor functioning (e.g., have you ever bumped into anyone?).The total score ranges from 0 to 100. High scores indicate an increased tendency for cognitive failure.

Time frame
24-48 hours
