      ab: Purpose: Internet use, which has become an integral part of life all over the world, causes some eating and nutritional disorders, especially in adolescents. This study aims to determine the relationship between problematic internet use (PIU) and nutrition/eating awareness in adolescents. Methods: This study was applied on 11th and 12th grade students studyingat three high schools in Turkey. 390 students participated in the study. During data collection, Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 (GPIUS2) and Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ) were used.Frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, and standard deviation were used for descriptive data. Chi-square test, t-test, ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis variance analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis wereemployed for data analysis. Results: The mean of the GPIUS scores of the students participating in the study is 52.5±21.5. 28.5% of the adolescents have stated that they daily use the internet for 5 hours or more. In the study, the adolescents who have stated that they consume energy drinks have higher PIU scores than those who do not consume (P<0.05). The PIU scores of the adolescents who have stated that they are influenced by food advertisements on the internet are found to be significantly higher (P<0.05). In the study, an opposite correlation is determined between GPIUS and subscale scores, and MEQ and its subscales (P<0.05). Conclusion: Adolescents with higher PIU scores have stated that they are influenced by food advertisements more, those who consume energy drinks have higher PIU scores and, as PIU scores increase, eating awareness decreases.
