The Effect of Smartphone Addiction on Physical Activity and Depression in University Students

This study was planned considering that young people with smartphone addiction are depressed and their physical activity is significantly reduced. In this direction, our aim is to examine the relationship between smartphone use and physical activity among universities in the 18-25 age group, which uses technology extensively. Our results are to raise awareness of this prevention by uncovering the possibility that it may be the cause of smartphone use in young people.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Beck Depression Inventory	The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is widely used to screen for depression and to measure behavioral manifestations and severity of depression. The inventory contains 21 self-report items which individuals complete using multiple choice response formats. Depression grade Total; Minimal depression 0-9; Mild depression 10-16; Moderate depression 17-29 Severe depression 30-63	The measurement is one-time and will take 5-10 minutes. It will take an average of 3 weeks after the data of all participants are collected. Then, after 5 months, the evaluation will be completed and the study will be published
Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short	Smartphone addiction scale (SAS) is a scale for smartphone addiction that consisted of 6 factors and 33 items with a six-point Likert scale (1: "strongly disagree" and 6: "strongly agree") based on self-reporting.Scale items It was scored from 1 to 6. Scale scores range between 10-60. Obtained from the test the higher the score, the higher the risk for addiction are evaluated. The scale has one factor and they do not have scales.

Calculation of the total score for the short form is based on walking, moderate activity and It includes the total duration (minutes) and frequency (days) of the activity. For activities The energy required is calculated by the MET-minute score. Standard MET for these activities values were established. Seating 1.5 MET Walking 3.3 MET Moderate Physical Activity 4.0 MET Severe Physical Activity 8.0 MET	The measurement is one-time and will take 5-10 minutes. It will take an average of 3 weeks after the data of all participants are collected. Then, after 5 months, the evaluation will be completed and the study will be published
