Abstract
DOEL:
Hierdie studie vergelyk die problematiese internetgebruik (PIU) tariewe in 12 tot 18-jariges met ernstige depressiewe versteuring (MDD) en gesonde beheermaatreëls en ondersoek moontlike skakels tussen PIU en selfmoord onder MDD-pasiënte.
METODES:
Die studiemonster het bestaan uit 120 MDD-pasiënte (62.5% meisies) en 100 kontroles (58% meisies) met 'n gemiddelde ouderdom van 15. Selfmoordgedagtes en selfmoordpogings is geëvalueer en sosiodemografiese data is versamel. Daarbenewens is die Depressievoorraad vir kinders, die jong internetverslawingstoets en die skaal van selfmoordwaarskynlikheid toegepas.
RESULTATE:
The results showed that PIU rates were significantly higher in the MDD cases than the controls (p<0.001). The analysis of covariance results showed that there was no relationship between potential suicide and the Young Internet Addiction Test score in MDD cases. However, the hopelessness subscale scores of the MDD patients with PIU were significantly higher than the scores of those without PIU.
AFSLUITING:
Our results show that PIU was higher in adolescents with MDD and hopelessness was more prevalent among MDD patients with PIU, but no links with potential suicide were found. As the present study was a cross-sectional one, it did not allow us to infer a causality relationship between PIU and MDD. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
