ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study was conducted to determine the rate and risk factors of computer game addiction and its relation with the quality of life in preadolescents. Material and Methods: The sample of this descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of 439 (ngirls=239, nboys=200) preadolescents. Data were collected using a family and child information form, the Computer Game Addiction Scale for Children (CGASC), and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory child form. Data were assessed using descriptive statistics, the independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (Post-hoc Tukey), Pearson correlation, and univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: According to the CGASC scores of the preadolescents, 12.8% were determined as ''risky users''. Multiple binary logistic regression analysis results revealed the most important factors affecting the possibility of preadolescents' becoming risky users for computer game addiction as gender, weekend computer gaming duration (hours/day), and the quality of life scores (p<0.01). There was a negative, weak and (p<0.001) significant relationship between computer game addiction scores and quality of life scores of preadolescents. The increase in quality of life scores of preadolescents decreased the possibility of being a ''risky user'' in terms of computer game addiction (p<0.001). Conclusion: It is recommended to attempt to increase the quality of life of preadolescents in order to protect them from computer game addiction.

Keywords: Computer game addiction; preadolescents; quality of life
ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, preadölesanlarda bilgisayar oyun bağımlılığını, etkileyen risk faktörlerini ve yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu çalışmanın örneklemini, 439 preadölesan (kız: n=239, erkek: n=200) oluşturmuştur. Veriler, aile ve çocuk bilgi formu, Çocuklar için Bilgisayar Oyun Bağımlılığı Ölçeği ve Pediatrik Yaşam Kalitesi Envanteri çocuk formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, bağımsız örneklem t-testi, varyans analizi (Post-hoc Tukey), Pearson korelasyon, ''univariate'' ve ''multiple'' lojistik regresyon analizi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Preadölesanların, Bilgisayar Oyun Bağımlılığı Ölçeği puanlarına göre %12,8'inin ''riskli kullanıcı'' olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yapılan multiple lojistik regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre preadölesanların bilgisayar oyun bağımlılığı açısından ''riskli kullanıcı'' olma durumlarını etkileyen en önemli faktörlerin; cinsiyet, hafta sonu bilgisayar oyun süresi (h/gün) ve yaşam kalitesi puanları olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,01). Preadölesanların, bilgisayar oyun bağımlılığı puanları ile yaşam kalitesi puanları arasında negatif yönde ve zayıf düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Preadölesanların yaşam kalitesi puanlarındaki artış, bilgisayar oyunu bağımlılığı açısından ''riskli kullanıcı'' olma olasılığını azaltmıştır (p<0,001). Sonuç: Preadölesanları bilgisayar oyun bağımlılığından korumada onların yaşam kalitelerini artırmaya yönelik girişimlerin yapılması önerilmektedir.
