Abstract
AGTERGROND:
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of higher risk of Internet addiction (HRIA) with lifetime substance use, psychological and behavioral factors among Turkish 10(th) grade students.
VAKKE EN METODES:
Cross-sectional online self-report survey conducted in 45 schools from the 15 districts in Istanbul, Turkey. A representative sample of 4957 10(th) grade students was studied between October 2012 and December 2012. Other than sociodemographic variables the survey included the Addiction Profile Index Internet Addiction Form-Screening Version (BAPINT-SV) and the Psychological Screening Test for Adolescents (PSTA).
RESULTATE:
Die deelnemers is in twee groepe geklassifiseer as dié met HRIA (15.96%) en diegene met 'n laer risiko van internetverslawing. Die tempo van HRIA was hoër by mans. Die bevindings het aangedui dat HRIA verband hou met negatiewe gevolge in skool, leeftydgebruik van tabak, alkohol en / of dwelm, selfmoordgedagtes, selfbeskadiging en delinquente gedrag.
GEVOLGTREKKINGS:
Male gender, lifetime use of tobacco, alcohol and/or drug, depression, attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms and lack of assertiveness predicted the HRIA in Turkish 10(th) grade students. Being aware of those with HRIA is important in prevention and management of Internet addiction as well as other important problems among students, such as substance use.
