摘要

网络是我们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分,网络的狂欢导致了网瘾。学生很容易上网成瘾,因为他们利用网络来达到学习和课外活动的目的。有问题的网络使用可能导致个人患上精神疾病。我们旨在确定尼日利亚索科托乌斯马努-丹福迪约大学健康科学专业本科生中网络成瘾的普遍程度。这是一项横断面研究,采用了多阶段抽样技术。研究使用了 "青年网络成瘾测试 "来获取数据,并使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)23.0 版对数据进行了分析。数据采用频率、百分比、平均值和标准差进行汇总。对分类变量采用卡方进行比较,P 值小于 0.05 为显著。共访问了 294 名学生,平均年龄和标准差为 24±2.9 岁,男女比例为 2.3:1。约 42% 的学生有轻度网络成瘾,13% 的学生有中度网络成瘾。研究发现,网瘾的严重程度与每天上网的时间有明显关系。半数以上的学生有轻度至中度网瘾,这与上网时间有关。健康科学专业学生的网络成瘾很常见,需要及时干预。

Prevalence and correlates of internet addiction among undergraduate health sciences students of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto
The internet is an essential aspect of our daily life, and its binge has resulted in internet addiction. Students are vulnerable to internet addiction, since they utilize it for academic and extracurricular objectives. Problematic internet use can predispose individuals to mental illnesses. We aim to determine the prevalence of internet addiction among undergraduate health sciences students at Usmanu Danfodiyo University in Sokoto, Nigeria. This was a cross-sectional study, using a multistage sampling technique. The Young Internet Addiction Test was used to obtain the data, which was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 for Windows. The frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations were used to summarize the data. A chi-square was used to compare the categorical variables, and a p-value <0.05 was considered significant. A total of 294 students were interviewed, with a mean age and standard deviation of 24±2.9 years, and a male-to-female ratio of 2.3:1. Approximately, 42% of the students had mild internet addiction, and 13% had moderate internet addiction. A significant association was found between the severity of internet addiction and time spent on the internet per day. More than half of the students had mild to moderate internet addiction, which was associated with the time spent on the internet. Internet addiction among health sciences students is common and requires prompt intervention.
