由于学校关闭,COVID-19大流行对全球数十亿青少年产生了巨大影响,迫使学生接受日常任务的互联网使用。青少年不受控制地使用互联网使他们容易遭受网络成瘾(IA)。这项研究旨在确定青少年中IA的患病率,并评估其与社会人口统计学因素的关系。智能手机使用,以及大流行期间的心理困扰。
■从5月15日开始,对13-17岁的学生进行了一项横断面的自我管理在线调查,2021年,直到5月30日,2021年,使用马来语版本的网络成瘾测试(MVIAT),大萧条,焦虑,和应力标度(DASS-21),和冠状病毒影响问卷,以及社会人口统计信息形式。使用IBMSPSSStatistics版本23对数据进行了分析。
■共有420名青少年参加了调查。其中大部分(70.7%)是女性,平均年龄15.47岁(±1.49岁)。约45.5%的受访者被归类为网络成瘾用户。卡方检验分析表明,年龄(p=0.002),智能手机使用情况(p=0.010),午夜使用率(p<0.001),频率(p<0.001),设备使用持续时间(p<0.001),和抑郁症的存在,焦虑,和应激(p<0.001)均与IA显著相关。多因素logistic回归显示年龄(aOR=1.16,95%CI[1.00-1.35],p=0.048),智能手机使用情况(aOR=3.52,95%CI[1.43-8.67],p=0.006),轻度或中度抑郁症(aOR=2.43,95%CI[1.36-4.34],p=0.003),严重或极严重应激(aOR=6.41,95%CI[2.18-18.82],p=0.001)与IA显著相关。
■青春期后期,智能手机的使用,以及抑郁等心理困扰的存在,压力可能与IA相关。明智的使用智能手机和早期识别青少年的任何心理困扰是必要的,尤其是在大流行期间。
UNASSIGNED: The COVID-19 pandemic has had tremendous implications for billions of adolescents worldwide due to school closures, forcing students to embrace
internet usage for daily tasks. Uncontrolled use of the
internet among adolescents makes them vulnerable to
internet addiction (IA). This study aims to determine the prevalence of IA among adolescents and assess its association with sociodemographic factors, smartphone use, and psychological distress during the pandemic.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional self-administered online survey was conducted among students aged 13-17 from May 15th, 2021, until May 30th, 2021, using the Malay version of the
Internet Addiction Test (MVIAT), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the Coronavirus Impacts Questionnaires, as well as a sociodemographic information form. The data was analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics version 23.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 420 adolescents participated in the survey. The majority of them (70.7%) were female, with a mean age of 15.47 years (±1.49 years old). About 45.5% of the respondents were classified as
internet addicted users. The Chi-square test analysis showed that age (p = 0.002), smartphone usage (p = 0.010), rate of midnight use (p < 0.001), frequency (p < 0.001), duration (p < 0.001) of device usage, and presence of depression, anxiety, and stress (p < 0.001) were all significantly associated with IA. Multiple logistic regression showed age (aOR = 1.16, 95% CI [1.00-1.35], p = 0.048), smartphone usage (aOR =3.52, 95% CI [1.43-8.67], p = 0.006), mild or moderate depression (aOR = 2.43, 95% CI [1.36-4.34], p = 0.003), severe or extremely severe stress (aOR = 6.41, 95% CI [2.18-18.82], p = 0.001) were significantly related to IA.
UNASSIGNED: Late adolescence, the use of smartphones, and the presence of psychological distress like depression, and stress were potentially associated with IA. Wise use of smartphones and early identification of any psychological distress among adolescents are warranted, especially during the pandemic.
