- Abstract
AIM: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the level of smartphone and internet addiction among the staff working in the substance dependence treatment center serving children and adolescents under the age of 18. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study included 30 people from different professions working in the child adolescent substance dependence treatment center. Participants were given a sociodemographic data form, Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV) and Short Form of Young’s Internet Addiction Test (YIAT-SF). RESULTS: The mean score of the SAS-SV is 25.3± 11.4 and YIATSF is 19.2± 8.3. These values are accepted as low-moderate according to literature.. A negative significant correlation was found between age and YIAT-SF (p=0.012, r=-0.454). Also, a positive significant correlation was found between both scale scores (p<0.001, r=0.707). CONCLUSION: Internet and smartphone addictions of staff working in the adolescent addiction service were found to be similar to the results of studies conducted with other healthcare professionals. In this regard, there is a need for studies involving staff working in different dependence treatment centers and units.
