INTRODUZZJONI:
Id-dipendenza fuq l-Internet kienet disturb fl-imġiba maġġuri matul l-aħħar għaxar snin. Reviżjoni meta-analitika preċedenti wriet l-assoċjazzjoni bejn id-dipendenza fuq l-Internet u disturbi psikjatriċi, kif ukoll disturbi relatati mal-irqad.
GĦANIJIET U GĦANIJIET:
There remains a paucity of literature about Internet addiction and sleep related disorders in low and middle income countries like Vietnam. It is the aim of this exploratory study to determine the association.
METODOLOĠIJA:
An online cross-sectional study was conducted between August through to October 2015. Respondent drive sampling technique was utilized in the recruitment of participants. The short form version of the Young’s Internet addiction test was administered and sleep related disorders was ascertained by means of a self-report questionnaire. Chi-squared, t-test and ANOVA were used to determine whether there were any significant differences amongst the variables considered. Multivariate logistic regressions were also used in the analysis, in order to identify factors associated with Internet addiction.
RIŻULTATI:
21.2% Of the participants were diagnosed with Internet addiction. 26.7% of those with Internet addiction also reported that they have had sleep related difficulties. 77.2% of these participants were receptive towards seeking medical treatment. Our current study also highlighted that being single and those who were using tobacco products were not at heightened risk of developing associated sleep related issues.
KONKLUŻJONIJIET:
Our current study is largely a cross-sectional exploratory study that has shown that there is a significant prevalence of both Internet addiction and sleep related disorders amongst Vietnamese youth.
