摘要

引言:互联网已经成为我们生活中不可分割的一部分,成为社会互动和交流的工具,它正在变得令人担忧;学生对互联网的使用呈现出对日常生活中其他活动的高度关注。网络成瘾(IA)可能会增加睡眠问题的风险,并导致一些精神障碍的发展和心理健康的恶化。本研究的目的是研究IA与医学生心理健康之间的相互关系。方法:这项横断面研究在埃基提州立大学医学院对临床前和临床医学生进行。研究人群是整个医学院的学生。共有129名研究参与者(86名临床和43名临床前学生)被有意招募,其中83名为男性,46名为女性。使用由四个组成部分组成的问卷从学生中收集数据:(i)沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康量表,(ii)青少年IA测试(YIAT),(iii)世界卫生组织酒精使用障碍识别测试,以及(iv)失眠严重程度指数。结果:约有一半(51.9%)的上网学生使用社交媒体。此外,使用互联网的最小原因是他们的学术任务。二十二名(17.1%)参与者在YIAT上的成瘾评分低于最低分。本研究显示,IA评分与心理健康(r=−121,P=0.198)、饮酒与心理健康之间存在统计学上不显著的负相关(r=–0.10,P=0.279)。IA与失眠(r=0.320,P=0.000)、IA与饮酒(r=0.428,P=.000)之间存在统计学显著的正相关饮酒与失眠呈正相关(r=0.072,P=0.414)。结论:学生IA及其相关问题需要认真干预,遏制问题性饮酒,以获得良好的心理健康。

Surfing over masked distress: Internet addiction and psychological well-being among a population of medical students
Introduction: The Internet has become an integral part of our lives and tool for social interaction and communication and it is becoming worrisome; Internet use among students is assuming a dimension of profound preoccupation over other activities of daily living. Internet addiction (IA) may raise risk for sleep problem, and contribute to the development of some psychiatric disorders and worsening mental health. The aim of this study was to study the interrelationship between IA and psychological well-being of medical students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at the Ekiti State University College of Medicine among both preclinical and clinical medical students. The study population was the entire medical students. A total of 129 study participants (86 clinical and 43 preclinical students) were purposively enrolled, 83 males and 46 females. Data were collected from the students using a questionnaire that comprised four components: (i) Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, (ii) Young IA Test (YIAT), (iii) World Health Organization Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, and (iv) Insomnia Severity Index. Results: About half (51.9%) of the students who engaged the Internet dwelled on social media. Moreover, the least reason for using the Internet was for their academic assignments. Twenty-two (17.1%) of the participants scored below the minimum score for addiction on YIAT. This study revealed a statistically insignificant negative correlation between the pairs of IA score and mental well-being (r = −121, P = 0.198) and alcohol use and mental well-being (r = −0.10, P = 0.279). There existed a statistically significant positive correlation between IA and insomnia (r = 0.320, P = 0.000) and IA and alcohol use (r = 0.428, P = 0.000). There was an insignificant positive relationship between alcohol use and insomnia (r = 0.072, P = 0.414). Conclusion: IA and its associated problems among students would require earnest intervention to curb problematic use in order to attain good mental well-being.
