“…This study indicated that the effect of friend support on psychological and somatic health in Czech is negligible, which is in line with some prior studies. For example, peer support did not affect Slovak adolescents’ excessive Internet use, which is a problematic behavior highly correlated with mental health ( Blinka et al, 2020 ). According to a meta-analysis, peer support has much less influence on adolescents’ well-being compared to teacher and parent support ( Chu et al, 2010 ).…”

ObjectivesIt has been known that social environments are associated with adolescents’ health. However, the complex relationship between diverse types of social environments and adolescents’ psychosomatic heath remained unclear. Thus, using an ecological perspective, the current study aimed to examine the associations between social environment and adolescents’ psychosomatic health.MethodsWe used the data from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) project conducted in the Czech Republic in 2018. A total of 13377 observations were included.ResultsThe region, as a macrosystem, could not explain the variance in adolescents’ psychological and somatic health. The quality of neighborhood environment (exosystem) was significantly related to adolescents’ psychological and somatic health. At the microsystem level, teacher support had stronger, family support had weaker, and peer support had no association with psychological and somatic health. At the mesosystem level, the interactions between family, teacher, and friend support were negligible for adolescents’ psychological and somatic health.ConclusionsThe results underscore the importance of teachers’ support and neighborhood environment for adolescents’ psychosomatic health. Therefore, the findings suggest the need to improve teacher-adolescent relationships and the neighborhood community quality.

The use of the Internet has several positive functions, but at the same time it also represents a health risk, especially for adolescents. The increased use of the Internet in recent decades has also been linked to an increase in problematic Internet use, which has now become a global social issue. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Internet use increased even more and influenced adolescents’ habits, leading to an increase in sedentary behaviors. The aim of this study was to understand whether Internet addiction differed between sportive and nonsportive adolescents and between males and females. We analyzed two samples of adolescents, with different behaviors regarding sports practice. Internet addiction was assessed by the administration of a validated questionnaire (UADI) via an online survey. Although all the mean values of both the subgroups fell into the “non-pathological” category, differences between sports groups and sexes were found, with different trends for each one of the five dimensions of Internet use. In conclusion, sportive adolescents generally showed less severe Internet addiction; therefore, encouraging sports practice can help to fight wrong habits related to a sedentary lifestyle. The promotion of sports practice in these ages is therefore a priority aspect, especially in females, who showed a general predisposition to escape from reality in comparison to males.

“…Son varios los autores y las autoras que en los últimos años se refieren a dicho uso problemático de internet (Aznar Díaz et al, 2020;Baz-Rodríguez et al, 2020;Caplan et al, 2009;Černja et al, 2019;Díaz-Aguado et al, 2018;Rial Boubeta et al, 2015), el cual ha sido también acuñado con otros términos como: adicción a internet (Byun et al, 2009;Malinauskas & Malinauskiene, 2019;Moreno-Guerrero et al, 2020;Pan & Yeh, 2018), uso patológico (Fortim & Alves de Araújo, 2013;Mészáros et al, 2020), uso excesivo (Blinka et al, 2020;Rozgonjuk y Täht, 2017;Victorin, 2021). En este trabajo se ha optado por utilizar el constructo adicción a internet, ya que es holístico y engloba a los otros (Griffiths, 2000), además, facilita la estandarización del término expresada por Byun et al (2009).…”

“…Por su parte, Chung et al (2019) la vincula con una familia desorganizada, con miembros de la familia que tienen adicción a internet, padres y madres con menor nivel educativo y un uso de estilo parental restrictivo. Ahora bien, según Blinka et al (2020) no solo influye este contexto, sino también el entorno menos próximo como el vecindario, los amigos o la propia escuela. Sin embargo, otras investigaciones afirman que las causas de dicha prevalencia radican en un bajo rendimiento y autoeficiencia académica (Chung et al, 2019;Labăr & Ţepordei, 2019), el acoso o el ciberacoso (Labăr & Ţepordei, 2019), e incluso, la depresión, tendencias suicidas o autolesiones (Chung et al, 2019;Gansner et al, 2019;Pan & Yeh, 2018).…”

Objetivo. Analizar la producción científica sobre la adicción a internet en adolescentes. Metodología. Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática, siguiendo las directrices PRISMA, de artículos publicados entre 2010 y 2020, en revistas indexadas en las bases de datos de PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus y ERIC. Para realizar la revisión, se parte de una búsqueda parametrizada usando las palabras clave: internet, adolescentes, adicción, tratamiento, prevención, educación, uso problemático, uso abusivo y uso excesivo, que se combinan con el operador booleano and. Tras una identificación inicial de 319 elementos, 24 artículos cumplen criterios de inclusión relativos a la idoneidad temática, el idioma y la edad de las personas destinatarias. Fueron revisados y analizados de forma inductiva, atendiendo a las denominaciones, la prevalencia e incidencia, los instrumentos y las intervenciones realizadas. Resultados. Se constata una falta de consenso tanto en la terminología utilizada como en los instrumentos de medida, un escaso abordaje educativo y poca eficacia de las intervenciones empleadas. Conclusiones. El interés de los resultados obtenidos radica en hacer posible una serie de recomendaciones que contribuirán a un mejor abordaje de esta problemática: uniformar la terminología y la conceptualización empleada para referirse a este campo de estudio, unificar los instrumentos de medida, ya que los actuales arrojan datos muy diferentes. Finalmente, para ayudar a paliar la adición a internet de adolescentes, se ha constatado la necesidad de desarrollar programas de prevención y de intervención educativa, promovidos desde las administraciones públicas, que permitan el acceso a todos los grupos, especialmente los más vulnerables.
