What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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
Measured: 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. For men in the Korean sample The cut-off point was determined as 31, and 33 for women.
Measured: 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
International Physical Activity Questionnaire
International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short form (7 questions); gait, moderate to severe information about time spent on activities and time spent sitting provides. 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
Measured: 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
