dc.description Aim: Mothers' digital game addiction awareness and their health literacy levels are critical factors for addiction prevention strategies in children. Therefore, the present study is significant. This study examines the relationship between awareness of digital game addiction, health literacy, and the sociodemographic characteristics of mothers. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 457 mothers of children aged 5–11 years in Turkey. The data were collected using a personal information questionnaire, the Awareness of Digital Game Addiction Scale, and the Health Literacy Scale between May and September 2021. Results: This study revealed that mothers are highly aware of digital game addiction and have high health literacy. Furthermore, health literacy was determined to significantly and directly affect awareness of digital gaming addiction. Awareness of digital gaming addiction significantly and directly affects children owning their own technological devices and how much time mothers spend with their children. Conclusion: The study's results confirmed that mothers' health literacy had a positive and statistically significant effect on awareness of digital gaming addiction. As the health literacy levels of mothers increased, the internal and external awareness of digital gaming addiction increased. It is recommended to design intervention programs that increase mothers' awareness of digital game addiction. These programs should be planned according to the health literacy levels of mothers.
