SFOND:
Internet represents a revolution in the world of technology and communication all over the world including Tunisia. However, this technology has also introduced problematic use, especially among students. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of Internet addiction among college students and its predictors in the region of Sousse, Tunisia.
DISINN TA 'STUDJU:
Studju trasversali.
METODI:
L-istudju kurrenti sar fil-kulleġġi ta ’Sousse, it-Tuneżija f’2012-2013. Intuża kwestjonarju awto-amministrat biex jiġbor data minn studenti ta ’556 f’5 magħżula b’mod każwali kulleġġi mir-reġjun. Dejta miġbura kienet tikkonċerna karatteristiċi soċjo-demografiċi, użu ta 'sustanzi u vizzju tal-internet permezz tat-Test Żgħażagħ tal-Internet dwar id-Dipendenza.
RIŻULTATI:
The response rate was 96%. The mean age of participants was 21.8±2.2 yr. Females represented 51.8% of them. Poor control of internet use was found among 280 (54.0%; CI95%: 49.7, 58.3%) participants. Low education levels among parents, the young age, lifetime tobacco use and lifetime illicit drugs use were significantly associated with poor control of internet use among students (P<0.001). While, the most influential factor on internet use among them was under-graduation with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.4 (CI95%: 1.7, 3.6).
KONKLUŻJONIJIET:
Kontroll ħażin ta 'l-użu ta' l-internet huwa prevalenti ħafna fost l-istudenti tal-kulleġġ ta 'Sousse speċjalment dawk gradwati. Programm ta 'intervent nazzjonali huwa meħtieġ biex inaqqas din il-problema fost iż-żgħażagħ. Studju nazzjonali fost adolexxenti u żgħażagħ kemm fl-iskola kif ukoll barra mill-iskola jidentifika gruppi f'riskju u jiddetermina l-iktar ħin effiċjenti biex jintervjeni u jipprevjeni l-vizzju tal-internet.
