The Effect Of Technology Addiction Prevention Program On University Students At Risk For Technology Addiction

Due to the increasing use of technological devices among adolescents, technology addiction is a serious public health problem that requires intervention. In order to cope with this problem, it is necessary to develop programs that have proven effects and are suitable for our culture and the psychosocial development of the age group in question. In the project planned to be carried out in two stages, university students at risk of technology addiction will be identified and the effect of the developed technology addiction prevention program will be evaluated. In these days when national combat studies on behavioral addictions are initiated in our country, the results of the research will contribute to the development of national action plans in the fight against technology addiction. The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to evaluate the effect of the technology addiction prevention program for university students at risk of technology addiction.
