Internet is a technology that was designed to facilitate research and official communication. According to Internet World Stats, there are 3.36 billion internet users in the world. The internet usage has increased by 832.5% in the world since 2005. In Pakistan there are 25 million active users using internet. It is a multi-dimensional behavioural disorder that manifest in various physical, psychological and social disorders and causes a number of functional and structural changes in brain with related various comorbidities. There is paucity of local researches on this topic but the access to internet and its use is enormous. This study was conducted to find the magnitude of internet addiction in medical students.
Metodi:
Kien studju deskrittiv trasversali li sar fil-Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad. Mija u tmienja u erbgħin student intgħażlu fl-istħarriġ bl-użu ta ’kampjunar każwali stratifikat. Id-dejta nġabret bl-użu ta 'skala ta' kompetenza akkademika u skolastika u kriterji dijanjostiċi tal-vizzju tal-internet.
Riżultati:
F'dan l-istudju, 11 (7.86%) issodisfa l-kriterji għad-dipendenza fuq l-internet. Ħafna mill-istudenti 93 (66.3%) użaw l-internet biex iżuru l-applikazzjonijiet tal-midja soċjali. Maġġoranza tal-istudenti 10 (90.9%), urew tolleranza bħala sintomu ewlieni mhux essenzjali tal-vizzju fuq l-internet. Dipendenti fuq l-Internet urew sinifikanti p = 0.01 taħt ir-rendiment akkademiku medju meta mqabbel ma ’dawk li m'humiex ivvizzjati. Il-vizzju fuq l-Internet wera assoċjazzjoni sinifikanti ta ’p = 0.03 bejn is-sessi u d-dipendenza fuq l-internet aktar prevalenti fin-nisa milli fl-irġiel (12.5% Vs 2.9%).
