This study’s primary purpose is to examine the factors associated with screen addiction and to propose a sustainable solution to screen addiction. This research was conducted on staff who work at Cukurova University. Phone addiction, internet addiction and physical activity level were evaluated with Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form (SAS-SF), Internet Addiction Scale (IAS), and International Physical Activity Survey Short Form (IPAQ-SF), consecutively. Craniovertebral angle was measured with a goniometer and shoulder protraction was measured with a tape measure. The study group consisted of 189 individuals (111 women and 78 men). The mean age was 44.15 ± 11.25 years (min: 23, max: 60). The addiction level was determined to be higher in the sedentary individuals.
