“…Lam et al (11) suggested that Internet addiction is detrimental to mental health and increases the risk of NSSI among adolescents. Consistent with this observation, when controlled for gender, family factors, exposure to suicidal thoughts in real life, depression, alcohol/tobacco use, concurrent suicidality, and perceived social support, both internet addiction and exposure to suicidal thoughts on the internet were significantly related to an increased risk of NSSI (12). A systematic review suggested a relationship between internet use and NSSI; NSSI was associated particularly with internet addiction, high levels of internet use, and visiting websites related to self-injury or suicide (13).…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of Internet gaming disorder (IGD) symptom severity with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) while controlling the effects of depression, anxiety and neuroticism among young adults. Method: The present study was conducted as a cross-sectional online self-report survey. The data were collected from 1010 volunteer Turkish university students in Ankara, persons who were in the e-mail database of a company located in Istanbul that organizes e-sports tournaments (ESL Turkey Amateur e-sport players), and Turkish gamers from gaming forums. Participants were evaluated by administering the IGD Scale-Short Form (IGDS-SF), the neuroticism dimension of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised-Abbreviated Form, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and the Beck Depression Inventory. Results: Age and gender did not differ between participants with NSSI (n=207, 20.5%) and those without NSSI (n=803, 79.5%). IGDS9-SF, depression, anxiety, and neuroticism scores were higher among individuals with NSSI. In logistic regression analysis, severity of IGD predicted the presence of NSSI, together with depression, anxiety, and neuroticism. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the severity of IGD in young adults is related with the presence of NSSI, together with depression, anxiety, and neuroticism. Thus, early detection and treatment of these risk factors is important for reducing selfinjurious behavior in this age group.

“…The prevalence of IA in the present Turkish sample (17.7%) is higher than that of China (11%) [Lam et al 2009], Australia (10.8%) [Choi et al 2009], Greece (8%) [Siomos et al 2009], Taiwan (17.1%) [Liu et al 2017] and the USA (9%) [Caplan 2007]. Moreover, IA affects approximately 1.2% to 26.3% of U.S. university students [Li et al 2015].…”

Aim:The aim of the present study was to examine the association between Internet Addiction (IA), fatigue, and sleep problems among university students.Methods: A total of 3,000 Turkish students aged 18 to 25 years were approached and 2,350 students (78.3%) participated in this cross-sectional study from April 2017 to September 2017 in public and private universities in Istanbul. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire including socio-demographic details, lifestyle and dietary habits, Internet Addiction Test (IAT), Fatigue Scale, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]. Descriptive statistics, multivariate and factorial analyses were performed. Results:The overall prevalence of IA among the studied population was 17.7%. There were significant differences between gender, family income, father's occupation, school performance, frequency and duration of watching television, physical activity, internet use duration, and sleep duration (all p<0.001). Significant differences were also found between participants with IA and those without IA in having headaches, blurred vision, double vision, hurting eyes, hearing problems, and eating fast food frequently (all p<0.001). Using multivariate regression analysis, the duration of internet use, physical and mental symptoms, headache, hurting eyes, tired eyes, hearing problems and ESS scores were significantly associated with (and primary predictors of) IA. Conclusion:The present study demonstrated that IA was associated with poor dietary habits, sleep problems, and fatigue symptoms.

“…In a recent systemic review, IUDs were found to be significantly related to both non-suicidal self-harm and suicidality [46]. In a Taiwanese study of 2479 high school students, both IUD and online exposure to suicidal content increased the risk of selfharm prior to adjustment for levels of self-esteem in participants, while only online exposure to suicidal content remained statistically significant following adjustment [47]. This important finding suggests the potential mediating role of harmful content to negative consequences of IUDs.…”

Prevention Strategies and Interventions for Internet Use Disorders Due to Addictive Behaviors Based on an Integrative Conceptual Model

2019

Purpose of Review With increasing use of the Internet throughout our daily lives, Internet use disorders (IUDs) due to addictive behaviors are gaining recognition. As an umbrella term, IUD covers an array of online behaviors that are potentially addictive. The growing population of Internet and smartphone users also raised public health concerns over IUD in regard to adverse cognitive, developmental, psychosocial, and physical consequences. While scientific literature to date has tended to focus on specific forms of IUD such as gaming or pornography, confining our attention to only these specific areas may impede research on the combined effects of multiple online addictive behaviors-often the clinical reality in maladapted Internet use. Taking this broader approach may also facilitate prioritization in policymaking and more efficient allocation of public health and clinical resources. This paper discusses conceptual application of a public health model at the society level and an integrative model at the individual level in IUD intervention strategies. Current treatment modalities of IUD are also reviewed from a biopsychosocial perspective. Recent Findings We propose that the harms of IUD are mediated by (1) risky/harmful content, (2) excessive/maladaptive use, and (3) financial burden. Prevention strategies that reduce the potential negative effects of these mediators may be useful against IUD. Summary Prevention and intervention efforts against IUD should not only target the "host" (individual vulnerabilities) but also the "agent" (media-related risks) and "environment" risks to better address complexities in the phenomena. The current mainstream therapeutic modality is psychosocial intervention. Further studies on psychopharmacology and neuromodulation are needed to broaden our therapeutic options for IUD.tf
