Povezava med kakovostjo spanja in uporabo digitalnih naprav pri mladostnikih : magistrsko delo

Jamnik, Urša (author), Fekonja, Urška (mentor)

Mladostniki vsakodnevno uporabljajo različne digitalne naprave, kar jim lahko prinaša nekatere koristi, raziskave pa kažejo tudi na več negativnih posledic. Ena izmed njih je ugotovljena negativna povezava med (pretirano) uporabo digitalnih naprav in kakovostjo spanja, pri čemer sta pomembna tudi količina časa in način uporabe digitalnih naprav. V magistrskem delu nas je zanimalo, kako se omenjena povezava kaže pri uporabi digitalnih naprav skozi dan ali pred spanjem. Poleg tega smo se posvetili tudi učinku načina uporabe, torej razliki med pasivno in aktivno uporabo digitalnih naprav pri mladostnikih v povezavi s kakovostjo njihovega spanja. Preverjali smo tudi razlike med spoloma v povezavi med kakovostjo spanja in uporabo digitalnih naprav. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 199 mladostnikov in mladostnic, starih od 14 do 18 let. Udeleženci so izpolnili dva vprašalnika: prvi se je navezoval na značilnosti uporabe digitalnih naprav, drugi pa na kakovost spanja. Rezultati kažejo na pomembno pozitivno povezavo med slabšo kakovostjo spanja in uporabo digitalnih naprav, in sicer tako skozi dan kot tudi pred spanjem. Izkazalo se je, da se aktivna uporaba pomembno pozitivneje povezuje s slabšo kakovostjo spanja kot pasivna. Poleg tega smo ugotovili, da obstajajo razlike med spoloma pri uporabi digitalnih naprav skozi dan, pri čemer se pri mladostnicah kaže pomembna pozitivna povezava s slabšokakovostjo spanja, pri uporabi naprav pred spanjem pa razlik med spoloma ni bilo.

• Title: The relationship between sleep quality and the use of digital devices among adolescents

Abstract

Adolescents use various digital devices daily, which may bring certain benefits, but research also points to several negative consequences. One of these is the established negative association between (excessive) digital device use and sleep quality, with both the duration and the manner of device use playing an important role. The aim of this master’s research was to examine how this relationship manifests in the context of digital device use during the day and before bedtime. In addition, we focused on the effect of the mode of use, specifically the difference between passive and active use of digital devices among adolescents in relation to their sleep quality. We also investigated gender differences in the relationship between sleep quality and digital device use. The study included 199 adolescents aged between 14 and 18 years old. Participants completed two questionnaires: the first assessed characteristics of digital device use, while the second measured sleep quality. The results indicate a significant positive association between poorer sleep quality and digital device use, both during the day and before bedtime. Active use was found to be more strongly positively associated with poorer sleep quality than passive use. Furthermore, gender differences were observed in daytime digital device use, with a significant positive association with poorer sleep quality found among female adolescents, while no gender differences were identified in device use before bedtime.
