摘要
背景:短版本的问题性互联网使用(PIU)问卷可以提供一种方便有效的方法来评估从研究到临床实践的各种背景下的互联网相关问题。本研究的目的是探讨在缺乏功能损害的情况下,关于“PIU导致的功能损害”的单一是/否问题(Q-single)是否可以作为一种筛选工具,表明潜在的PIU缺失。方法:两项在线研究(N = 524和N = 272)评估学生网络相关行为的数据用于分析。参与者除了回答q -单题外,还完成了包括9项问题性网络使用问卷(piq -9)、强迫性网络使用量表(CIUS)、9项患者健康问卷(PHQ-9)、抑郁模块(PHQ-9)和7项广泛性焦虑障碍量表(GAD-7)在内的网络使用时间问卷。采用分组多元线性回归分析来确定Q-Single对PIU(用piq -9和CIUS测量)的预测作用及其与抑郁和焦虑症状评分(用PHQ-9和GAD-7测量)的关联。结果:Q-Single在筛查PIU缺失方面表现出较高的阴性预测值,而阳性预测值为低至中等。在控制年龄、性别和互联网使用时间时,Q-Single被证明是PIU的良好预测因子(β = 0.484, p < 0.001 [piq -9]和β = 0.481, p < 0.001 [CIUS])。调整相同的控制变量,Q-Single与抑郁症状(β = 0.385, p < 0.001 [PHQ-9])和焦虑症状(β = 0.252, p < 0.001] [GAD-7])有中度关联,支持单题工具的有效性。结论:单题可预测学生PIU缺失,提示功能障碍是PIU的重要指标。
Q-single: Linking functional impairment to problematic internet use through a single-question approach.
Background: Short versions of problematic internet use (PIU) questionnaires may provide a convenient and effective way of assessing internet-related problems in various contexts, ranging from research to clinical practice. The aim of this study was to investigate whether single yes/no question (Q-single) regarding "functional impairment due to PIU" could serve as a screening tool to indicate the potential absence of PIU, given the lack of functional impairment.
Methods: Data from two online studies (N = 524 and N = 272) assessing internet-related behaviors among students were used for the analyses. Participants completed questionnaires (the nine-item Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire [PIUQ-9], the Compulsive Internet Use Scale [CIUS], the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire, depression module [PHQ-9], the seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale [GAD-7]), questions about their internet use time, besides answering the Q-Single question. Block-wise multiple linear regression analyses were used to determine the predictive effect of the Q-Single on PIU (as measured with the PIUQ-9 and the CIUS) and its association with depression and anxiety symptom scores (as measured with the PHQ-9 and the GAD-7).
Results: The Q-Single demonstrated a high negative predictive value in screening the absence of PIU, however positive predictive value was low to moderate. Q-Single proved to be a good predictor of PIU (β = 0.484, p < 0.001 [PIUQ-9] and β = 0.481, p < 0.001 [CIUS]) when controlling for age, gender, and internet use time. Adjusting for the same controlling variables, the Q-Single had a moderate association with depression symptoms (β = 0.385, p < 0.001 [PHQ-9]) and anxiety symptoms (β = 0.252, p < 0.001) [GAD-7]) supporting the validity of the single-question instrument.
Conclusions: The finding that a single question could predict absence of PIU in students, implies that functional impairment is an important indicator of PIU.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Journal of Behavioral Addictions is to create a forum for the scientific information exchange with regard to behavioral addictions. The journal is a broad focused interdisciplinary one that publishes manuscripts on different approaches of non-substance addictions, research reports focusing on the addictive patterns of various behaviors, especially disorders of the impulsive-compulsive spectrum, and also publishes reviews in these topics. Coverage ranges from genetic and neurobiological research through psychological and clinical psychiatric approaches to epidemiological, sociological and anthropological aspects.
