“…Excessive internet use can become uncontrolled and maladaptive, resulting in a myriad of disruptive internet use behaviours that include excessive use of social networks, internet gambling and online shopping among others (Ioannidis et al, 2018). There still remains an ongoing debate about definition and diagnostic criteria of maladaptive internet use, with internet addiction and problematic use of internet being the most commonly used terms (Fernandes et al, 2019;Yellowlees & Marks, 2007). Diagnostic criteria for the Internet addiction were proposed by Young and were based on the diagnostic criteria of pathologic gambling that included impulse control problems, similar features with other dependencies and significant impairment in daily life (Fernandes et al, 2019;Yellowlees & Marks, 2007;Young, 1998).…”

On the other hand, problematic use of internet is a broader construct that defines internet use behaviour as being more similar to impulse control disorders that cause cognitive and behavioural symptoms, which interfere with social, emotional, academic and/or Internet addiction and problematic use of internet are recognised as important public health problems (WHO, 2018) (Fineberg et al, 2018).…”

Background: Internet addition is becoming increasingly recognised as an important mental health problem. Aim: This study examined prevalence of internet addiction in healthcare professionals. Method: Systematic literature review was undertaken of June 4, 2020 with goal to identify studies that evaluated prevalence of internet addiction or problematic internet use in medical professionals. Reported associations with other mental health symptoms were also considered. Results: Prevalence of internet addiction was studied in medical residents only ( n = 770; three studies), faculty members only ( n = 69; one study), nurses only ( n = 564; one study) and mixed samples of medical professionals ( n = 415; three studies). Pooled prevalence rate of internet addiction in 1,818 healthcare professionals was 9.7% (95% confidence interval: 5.8%–13.6%). Internet addiction was associated with greater mental symptom burden and fatigue of healthcare workers. Conclusion: Internet addiction is present in healthcare professionals, however, to a lesser extent than in medical students suggesting that increasing clinical responsibilities and increasing age can be important moderators of risk for internet addiction. Internet addiction is associated with greater burden of unfavourable mental health outcomes of healthcare professionals. Further studies exploring global burden of internet addiction in healthcare professionals and possible impact of internet addiction on work performance of healthcare professionals are encouraged.

“…Under this model, symptoms of Internet addiction are primarily affective or behavioral and are usually preceded or caused by cognitive symptoms, mediated by specific and general pathological Internet use [15,16]. The value of the cognitive-behavioral model lies in that it contemplates a continuum of severity regarding Internet use, allowing a better understanding by mental health specialists of the way and degree to which the excessive use of the internet can affect the lives of people [18].…”

The use of the Internet has been gradually and unstoppably gaining ground in all areas of life, from recreational activities to how social relations are established. However, the existence of clinical cases indicates that the addictive use of the Internet is a problem that seriously affects some people. Among the instruments that measure this construct, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) stands out. However, instrumental studies of this test are scarce in Latin America. The present study sought to analyze the psychometric properties of the IAT in a sample of 227 Peruvian undergraduate university students. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to provide validity evidence based on the internal structure, and evidence based on the relationship with other variables was also provided. Reliability was estimated through the ordinal alpha coefficient. The results indicated that the IAT adequately fits a bifactor model (with two specific factors, time/control and stress/compensate), obtaining good levels of reliability. Additionally, the IAT scores correlate significantly with the average number of hours per day on the internet and social skills. The results lead to the conclusion that the scores in the IAT have evidence of validity and reliability for its use.

“…A questão pujante, assinalada por este estudo, é que ante a correlação positiva entre TMC e a intensidade de uso de internet pelos universitários, a frequência com que a sociabilidade digital tem sido praticada, bem como a sua função na vida destes estudantes, podem atuar como fatores que contribuem para a manutenção do sofrimento psíquico, concorrendo com o processo de recuperação destes sujeitos. É ainda necessária maior especificação na literatura quanto as diversas funcionalidades da internet e sua associação com o sofrimento psíquico, em determinadas atividades online, e não com seu uso generalizado 34 , embora se destaque a correlação entre uso problemático e as redes sociais 35 , sobretudo para atividades de lazer 36 . Contudo, a Escala de Uso Problemático de Internet, empregada nesta pesquisa, ainda que possibilite identificar a preferência pela interação online em detrimento às interações sociais usuais e outras atividades da vida diária, não viabiliza completa especificação acerca de quais atividades realizadas online geram prejuízos à vida do sujeito respondente.…”

Resumo Este estudo objetivou estimar a prevalência de Transtornos Mentais Comuns (TMC) em estudantes universitários, analisando a correlação com o uso de internet e com a utilização de estratégias de enfrentamento ante ao isolamento social na pandemia de COVID-19. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, quantitativo, com amostra não probabilística, constituída por 275 estudantes. A coleta de dados foi realizada online, por meio dos instrumentos Self Report Questionnaire-20, Escala de Uso Problemático de Internet e Inventário de Estratégias de Enfrentamento. A análise de dados foi descritiva e inferencial, sendo também realizada uma análise de regressão linear múltipla. A população pesquisada apresentou uma prevalência de TMC de 58,5%, que correlacionou-se positivamente com a frequência de uso de internet, e com a utilização de estratégias de enfrentamento evitativas, baseadas no confronto, orientadas para a busca de suporte social e aceitação de responsabilidade (p<0,05). A presença de TMC e a utilização de estratégias de enfretamento baseadas no confronto foram as variáveis que melhor explicaram o uso problemático de internet (R2=0,33%; p<0,00). A intensa sociabilidade digital deve ser levada em consideração nas ações de cuidado em saúde mental direcionadas aos universitários no contexto da COVID-19.
