ЦИЉ:
To study the extent of Internet addiction (IA) and its association with depression in Thai medical students.
МЕТОДЕ:
A cross-sectional study was conducted at Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital. Participants were first- to fifth-year medical students who agreed to participate in this study. Demographic characteristics and stress-related factors were derived from self-rated questionnaires. Depression was assessed using the Thai version of Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). A total score of five or greater derived from the Thai version of Young Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction was classified as “possible IA”. Then chi-square test and logistic regression were used to evaluate the associations between possible IA, depression and associated factors.
РЕЗУЛТАТИ:
From 705 participants, 24.4% had possible IA and 28.8% had depression. There was statistically significant association between possible IA and depression (odds ratio (OR) 1.92, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.34-2.77, P-value <0.001). Logistic regression analysis illustrated that the odds of depression in possible IA group was 1.58 times of the group of normal Internet use (95% CI: 1.04-2.38, P-value = 0.031). Academic problems were found to be a significant predictor of both possible IA and depression.
ЗАКЉУЧАК:
ИА је вјероватно била заједнички психијатријски проблем међу тајландским студентима медицине. Истраживање је такође показало да је могућа интерна процена повезана са депресијом и академским проблемима. Предлажемо да се надзор медицинске интервенције разматра у медицинским школама.
