Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Internet addiction (I.A.) among students and its association with emotional problems. A total of 2,214 students (M = 21.9; SD = 1.86) from all Brazilian regions responded to an online questionnaire and were classified according to the IAT instrument score in NRU= No-risk Users, LRU= Low-risk Users, and RHU= Risk and High-risk Users. DASS-21 measured emotional problems, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. It was observed that 12.5% were classified as URAR and presented higher levels of depression (p< 0.001), anxiety (p< 0.001), and stress (p< 0.001). The main predictors for I.A. were depression (aOR = 3.2), anxiety (aOR = 2.5), and stress (aOR = 2.6). These results confirm an association between DI and emotional problems, as indicated in the literature.

巴西学生网瘾:流行程度及与情绪问题的关联

本研究的目的是评估学生中网络成瘾的流行率及其与情绪问题的关系。来自巴西所有地区的2214名学生（M=21.9；SD=1.86）对在线问卷进行了回应，并根据IAT仪器得分进行了分类，NRU=无风险用户，LRU=低风险用户，RHU=风险和高风险用户。DAS-21测量了情绪问题，并使用描述性和推断统计学对数据进行了分析。据观察，12.5%的患者被归类为URAR，表现出更高水平的抑郁（p<0.001）、焦虑（p<0.001）和压力（p<0.001）。I.A.的主要预测因素是抑郁（aOR=3.2）、焦虑和压力（aOR=2.5）。这些结果证实了DI与情绪问题之间的联系，如文献所示。
