Abstract

Background: The aim was to estimate the rate of PIU in Spanish university students during the lockdown, taking sex and age into account, and to analyze its relationship with depression and suicidal ideation.

Method: 921 university students (55% women) from 18 to 30 years old (M = 24.8 years; SD = 3) participated.

Results: The results showed that 21% of the participants presented PIU, 25.1% moderate depression, 2.1% severe depression, and 6.6% suicidal ideation. The 18 to 21-year-old age group presented the highest rate of PIU (37.8%). A positive correlation was observed between PIU and depression (r = .38; p ‹ .001), with a significantly higher mean score on the PHQ-9 (t_(241.813) = -8.21; ‹ d = .78) in university students with PIU (M = 9.8; SD = 5.1) than those without it (M = 6.4; SD = 4.1). The rate of severe depression was six times greater (χ2 (3) = 73.25; p ‹ .001) in undergraduates with PIU (6.2%) than those without PIU (0.8%). Moreover, 3.6% of university students with PIU presented suicidal ideation.

Conclusions: These findings establish the association between PIU and depression and suicidal ideation in the university population, providing novel contributions for prevention policies.

新冠肺炎禁闭期间大学生网络使用问题、抑郁症状和自杀意念

背景:目的是在考虑性别和年龄的情况下，估计封锁期间西班牙大学生的PIU率，并分析其与抑郁和自杀意念的关系。方法:921名18 ~ 30岁大学生(女性55%)(M = 24.8岁;SD = 3)参与。结果:21%的被试存在PIU, 25.1%的被试存在中度抑郁，2.1%的被试存在重度抑郁，6.6%的被试存在自杀意念。18 ~ 21岁PIU发生率最高(37.8%)。PIU与抑郁呈正相关(r = 0.38;p < 0.001)， PHQ-9平均得分显著高于对照组(t(241.813) = -8.21;[d = .78] (M = 9.8;SD = 5.1);Sd = 4.1)。重度抑郁症发生率为对照组的6倍(χ2 (3) = 73.25;有PIU的大学生(6.2%)比无PIU的大学生(0.8%)患病率高。此外，3.6%的PIU大学生有自杀意念。结论:这些发现建立了PIU与大学生抑郁和自杀意念之间的联系，为预防政策提供了新的贡献。
