Abstract
INLEIDING:
Problematiese gebruik van videospeletjies, sosiale media en internetverwante aktiwiteite kan geassosieer word met slaapontneming en swak werkprestasie. Die internetverslawingstoets is aan militêre mediese en verpleegstudente en huishoudings gegee om problematiese internetgebruik te assesseer.
METODES:
Mediese en verpleegstudente aan die Uniformed Services Universiteit van die Gesondheidswetenskappe en inwoners van die Naval Mediese Sentrum San Diego is via e-pos (n = 1,000) gekontak en 'n opname gegee wat die Internet Addiction Test (IAT) ingesluit het en vrae wat gevra word oor ander spesifieke lewenstyl veranderlikes. Individue wat 'n Internet Verslawing telling (IAS) ontvang het, is geïdentifiseer as waarskynlik die nadelige gevolge van internetverslawing (IA) ervaar.
RESULTATE:
Of 399 surveys submitted, 68 were omitted due to gross incompletion or failing to finish the entirety of the IAT. Of the participants included, 205 (61.1%) were male and 125 (37.9%) were female. The mean age was 28.6 years old (S.D. = 5.1 years). In regards to training status, completed surveys were assessed for 94 medical residents, 221 School of Medicine students, and 16 Graduate School of Nursing students. Our survey showed 5.5% of the participants (n = 18) indicated problems with Internet use that are concerning for IA.
GEVOLGTREKKINGS:
The study results indicated that our population showed problematic Internet use in the lower range of global estimates of IA. Rates of IA further decreased between medical students and residents. Multiple lifestyle variables were significantly associated with IA score and may serve as indicators of a higher score. Interestingly, the use of social media during sleeping hours was most significantly associated with increased IAS. This paper discusses IA among military medical and nursing trainees and how problematic Internet use may affect work performance and force readiness.
