Abstract

Background: Suicidal behavior, especially in young populations such as university students, is currently one of the most concerning health problems worldwide, suicide being the second leading cause of death among students. Although literature is still scarce, one of the risk factors that correlates the most with suicidal behavior in young people appears to be problematic internet use (PIU). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between PIU and suicidal behavior in a Spanish university population.

Method: An ex post facto prospective design was used with a sample of 1,386 Spanish university students (68.7% women and 31.3% men). PIU was assessed by means of the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and psychological problems by means of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM).

Results: The results confirm the relationship between PIU and suicidal behavior, principally alongside those of social isolation and depression, this risk being 3.78 times higher among women with PIU and 5.58 times higher in men.

Conclusions: PIU appears as a risk factor for suicidal behavior that must be taken into account together with social isolation, subjective distress and depression.

大学生自杀行为与网络使用问题

背景:自杀行为，特别是在大学生等年轻人群中，目前是世界范围内最令人关注的健康问题之一，自杀是学生死亡的第二大原因。尽管文献仍然很少，但与年轻人自杀行为最相关的风险因素之一似乎是有问题的互联网使用(PIU)。本研究的目的是调查西班牙大学人群中PIU与自杀行为之间的关系。方法:采用事后前瞻性设计，对1386名西班牙大学生(68.7%为女性，31.3%为男性)进行调查。通过网络成瘾测试(IAT)和心理问题测试(CORE-OM)分别对PIU和PIU进行评估。结果:结果证实了PIU与自杀行为之间的关系，主要是与社会孤立和抑郁之间的关系，PIU女性的这种风险高出3.78倍，男性高出5.58倍。结论:PIU似乎是自杀行为的一个危险因素，必须与社会孤立、主观痛苦和抑郁一起考虑。
