To understand the epidemiological characteristics and influential factors on internet addiction disorder (IAD) among first-grade junior students in Wuhan city.
An anonymous questionnaire survey was carried out on 1219 first-grade junior students through stratified cluster sampling in 4 middle schools in Wuhan city.
The internet use rate (IUR) of first-grade junior students was 96.43%, with the average of primary surfer age as 8.93 +/- 1.95. The internet addiction tendency (IAT) rate and the IAD rate were 10.87% and 7.71% respectively. The IAT and the IAD detection rates among male students were significantly higher than in female students (chi(2) = 13.04, P < 0.01). By ordinal logistic regression analysis, the relative factors mainly involved 6 aspects in IAD, including sex, poor academic performance, the surfer number of times, the surfer time, the surfer place and the surfer expense.
The prevalence rates of IAT and IAD were quite high in the first-grade junior students in Wuhan. School authorities, teachers and guardians should collaboratively working together to guide the students in using the network correctly, and to carry out effective interventions to reduce the incidence of internet addiction.
了解武汉市初一学生网络成瘾障碍(IAD)的流行病学特征及影响因素。
通过分层整群抽样对武汉市4所中学的1219名初一学生进行匿名问卷调查。
初一学生的互联网使用率(IUR)为96.43%,初次上网年龄平均为8.93±1.95岁。网络成瘾倾向(IAT)率和IAD率分别为10.87%和7.71%。男生的IAT和IAD检出率显著高于女生(χ² = 13.04,P < 0.01)。经有序logistic回归分析,IAD的相关因素主要涉及6个方面,包括性别、学业成绩差、上网次数、上网时间、上网地点和上网费用。
武汉市初一学生IAT和IAD的患病率相当高。学校、教师和家长应共同努力,引导学生正确使用网络,并进行有效干预,以降低网络成瘾的发生率。
