This study aimed to examine the complex associations between Internet addiction, sleep disturbances, and disordered eating behaviors.
This cross-sectional study included 646 students from 17 high schools in Edirne, Türkiye between December 2023 and May 2024. A face-to-face questionnaire was administered to assess demographic characteristics, Internet addiction (YIAT), sleep quality (PSQI), and eating behavior (TFEQ-R21).
In total, 644 students completed the study. The prevalence of Internet addiction among adolescents was 16.3%, with a similar prevalence among male and female adolescents. The prevalence of poor sleep quality among adolescents was 6.4%, and this trend was more pronounced in male adolescents, with an incidence of 13.0%. A weak positive correlation was observed between Internet addiction and disordered eating behavior. Additionally, a moderate positive correlation was observed between poor sleep quality and disordered eating behavior. Gender, maternal education level, Internet addiction, and poor sleep quality were significant predictors of eating disorders in adolescents.
The findings of our study are of significant value in providing insights into the development of programs designed to prevent undesired eating behaviors.
本研究旨在探讨网络成瘾、睡眠障碍和饮食失调行为之间的复杂关联。
这项横断面研究纳入了2023年12月至2024年5月期间来自土耳其埃迪尔内17所高中的646名学生。通过面对面问卷调查来评估人口统计学特征、网络成瘾（青少年网络成瘾测试）、睡眠质量（匹兹堡睡眠质量指数）和饮食行为（三因素饮食问卷修订版）。
共有644名学生完成了研究。青少年网络成瘾的患病率为16.3%，男女青少年患病率相似。青少年睡眠质量差的患病率为6.4%，这一趋势在男性青少年中更为明显，发生率为13.0%。网络成瘾与饮食失调行为之间存在弱正相关。此外，睡眠质量差与饮食失调行为之间存在中度正相关。性别、母亲教育水平、网络成瘾和睡眠质量差是青少年饮食失调的重要预测因素。
我们的研究结果对于为预防不良饮食行为的项目制定提供见解具有重要价值。
