The widespread use of digital devices causes adolescents to spend long periods of time in front of the screen.
This study aimed to analyze the impacts of digital game addiction on the musculoskeletal system of secondary school children in Kayseri.
A total of 1000 healthy children have been included. A questionnaire, which has been prepared by the researchers and questions children's socio-demographic knowledge, sport habits, durations of study, types of digital tools they use to play games, using positions and durations of use, has been applied to the children. A visual analog scale was used to assess pain intensity. Game addiction has been evaluated through Computer Game Addiction Scale for Children.
Between computer and phone use and neck pain, a significant correlation has been found (P < 0.05). Between game addiction and wrist, back and low back pain, a significant correlation has been detected. While males use more computer, tablet and are more addicted to games, the scores of head, wrist and back pain in females have been found out to be significantly high.
As they cause musculoskeletal problems, the higher the time children consume in front of digital devices and the more they use it in wrong posture; the more the complaints about pain are.
数字设备的广泛使用导致青少年长时间在屏幕前。
本研究旨在分析数字游戏成瘾对开塞利中学生肌肉骨骼系统的影响。
共纳入 1000 名健康儿童。研究人员准备了一份问卷，询问儿童的社会人口统计学知识、运动习惯、学习时间、用于玩游戏的数字工具类型、使用姿势和使用时间，并将问卷应用于儿童。使用视觉模拟量表评估疼痛强度。通过儿童电脑游戏成瘾量表评估游戏成瘾。
电脑和手机使用与颈部疼痛之间存在显著相关性（P<0.05）。游戏成瘾与手腕、背部和腰部疼痛之间存在显著相关性。男性使用更多的电脑、平板电脑且对游戏更上瘾，而女性的头部、手腕和背部疼痛评分明显较高。
由于数字设备会导致肌肉骨骼问题，儿童在数字设备前花费的时间越多，使用姿势越不正确，他们对疼痛的抱怨就越多。
