ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu araştırma, bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören ebelik öğrencilerinin akıllı telefon bağımlılığı düzeylerini, uyku kalitesini ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel türdeki araştırmanın evrenini 2019-2020 eğitim öğretim dönemi bahar yarıyılında bir devlet üniversitesinin ebelik bölümünde okuyan ve derslere devam eden 296 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Bu araştırmada, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin tamamı araştırma kapsamına alınmış ve 247 öğrenci ile araştırma tamamlanmıştır. Yanıtlılık oranı %83,4'tür. Veri toplama araçları olarak; kişisel bilgi formu, Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği-Kısa Form (ATBÖ-KF) ve Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20,91±1,42'dir. Öğrencilerin ATBÖ-KF ve PUKİ genelinden aldıkları ortalama puanlar sırasıyla 31,57±11,27 (minimum: 10, maksimum: 60) ve 7,64±2,68 (minimum: 3, maksimum: 17) olarak bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin akıllı telefon bağımlılığının orta düzeyde, uyku kalitelerinin kötü düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur. Akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ile uyku kalitesi arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı korelasyon ilişkisi saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Üniversite öğrencilerinde akıllı telefon kullanarak geçirilen sürenin azaltılması ve uyku kalitesinin artırılmasına yönelik eğitimler ve girişimsel çalışmalar yapılabilir.
