Objective: The Internet is an essential component for providing current and up to date information in education. Despite the significant advantages, abuse of internet results in Internet addiction (IA) disorder. The present study aims to determine the level of IA and internet behavior pattern among medical and university students in Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 379 students in Bangladesh from one private medical college and one private university of Chittagong during the study period from 2017 to 2018. Analysis for throughput, "Young's IA test (IAT)'' was used. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the independent t-test and oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA) were utilized and P<0.05 as significant. Results: The mean± SD of "IAT" score was 47.97±13.61. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.83. The majority (54.88%) of the participants was "mild user''. The majority (63.39%) of the medical students was "mild user,'' and the majority (61.60%) of the university students were "moderate user." Statistically, a significant difference was found between "IAT" score and "Duration of internet use" of the medical and university students (p = 0.00). A significant difference was observed between age, sex, and IA. The majority (86.61%) of medical students used the internet for social networking, and the majority (71.2%) of university students used the internet for education purpose. Maximum participants use "Smartphone" and "mobile 3G" and had an email address and a social network account. Conclusions: Early detection of internet dependence could help to take appropriate steps to tackle the growing problem of IA.

“…In the same way, in previous studies, the use of social media platforms has been considered as efficient instruments for education, exchange of ideas, and communication of experiences among physicians [3, 20, 21]. Additionally, some authors have analyzed the benefits, risks, potential challenges, and ethical and legal dilemmas that imply the management of these tools for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals [3–5, 15, 17, 18, 22].…”

Purpose In relation to this research, only a few studies have been carried out around the world. However, in Saudi Arabia, there have been no investigations into this subject. In this sense, the objective of this study was to investigate the physicians' attitudes towards the use of social media for professional purposes in Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 235 physicians from different regions of Saudi Arabia. The data were collected by means of a survey. The survey questionnaire was distributed using the WhatsApp application. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results. Results The most common social media used by the respondents was Facebook, and the majority of the participants agreed that social media improved their knowledge and skills. However, most of the participants did not interact with patients using these tools, did not feel comfortable conducting an online consultation, and believed that social media affected the choice of the healthcare provider. Similarly, 30.6% of the respondents opined that it is not appropriate to search online information about patients, and 44.3% of them considered that patients would not trust the medical advice if a physician obtained the information from a website. Conclusion The results showed that the majority of the respondents considered that social media improved the knowledge and abilities of physicians. In addition, the respondents reflected that there were ethical issues that must be taken into account when using social media and more than half of them did not interact with their patients employing these tools. The outcomes of this research will help to develop programs directed at the physicians in Saudi Arabia to enhance their knowledge, professional skills, medicine practice, patient-doctor interaction, and handle the risks involved in the use of social media.
