Abstract
Today, with technological developments, many technological devices have gained an important place in the vital activities of individuals. In addition to these technological devices, especially devices such as mobile phones, televisions, computers and tablets have been associated with the concept of screen time. Individuals have started to spend a long time on many screen types such as various applications, media, video games. This screen time may cause changes in individuals' eating behaviours. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of screen time on processed food consumption. For this purpose, interview method, which is one of the qualitative research techniques, was used. The sample group of this study consists of university students. In order to ensure sufficient diversity of views, volunteer students from the first to the fourth year of the university from different study disciplines were preferred. The interviews (n = 10) were conducted between 20.01.2025-22.01.2025 using a semi-structured form. Each interview lasted approximately 30 minutes. With the interviews, thematic categories related to the foods consumed by university students during the screen were determined. The notes taken during the interviews were analyzed in accordance with qualitative research methods to identify emerging themes. As a result of the data obtained, thematic analysis was carried out and 3 different themes were determined. These themes are the feeling of sharing, the idea of saving and the idea of dependency. In addition, as a result of the findings obtained from the study, it was determined that the participants spent most of their screen time on mobile phones and consumed processed foods in most of these periods.

Abstract
Günümüzde teknolojik gelişmelerle birlikte birçok teknolojik alet bireylerin yaşamsal faaliyetlerinde önemli bir yer edinmiştir. Bu teknolojik aletlerin yanı sıra özellikle cep telefonu, televizyon, bilgisayar, tablet gibi aletler ekran süresi kavramı ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Bireyler çeşitli uygulamalar, medyalar, video oyunları gibi birçok ekran türlerinde uzun süre vakit geçirmeye başlamıştır. Bu geçirilen ekran süresi bireylerin yeme davranışlarında değişikliğe sebep olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ekran süresinin işlenmiş gıda tüketimine etkisinin belirlenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda nitel araştırma tekniklerinden olan görüşme metodundan yararlanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın örneklem grubunu üniversite öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Yeterli görüş çeşitliliğini sağlamak için, farklı çalışma disiplinlerinden üniversitenin birinci sınıfından dördüncü sınıfına kadar olan gönüllü öğrenciler tercih edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamındaki görüşmeler (n = 10) 20.01.2025-22.01.2025 tarihleri arasında yarı yapılandırılmış form ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Her bir görüşme yaklaşık 30 dakika sürmüştür. Yapılan görüşmelerle birlikte üniversite öğrencilerinin ekran süresince tükettikleri yiyeceklere ilişkin tematik kategoriler belirlenmiştir. Görüşmeler sırasında tutulan notlar, ortaya çıkan temaları belirlemek amacıyla nitel araştırma yöntemlerine uygun şekilde analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler neticesinde tematik analiz gerçekleştirilmiş ve 3 farklı tema belirlenmiştir. Bu temalar paylaşım hissi, tasarruf düşüncesi ve bağımlılık düşüncesidir. Ayrıca çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular neticesinde katılımcıların ekran sürelerini en çok cep telefonlarında geçirdikleri, bu sürelerin büyük bir kısmında da işlenmiş gıdalar tükettikleri belirlenmiştir.
