The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of higher risk of Internet addiction (HRIA) with lifetime substance use, psychological and behavioral factors among Turkish 10(th) grade students.
Cross-sectional online self-report survey conducted in 45 schools from the 15 districts in Istanbul, Turkey. A representative sample of 4957 10(th) grade students was studied between October 2012 and December 2012. Other than sociodemographic variables the survey included the Addiction Profile Index Internet Addiction Form-Screening Version (BAPINT-SV) and the Psychological Screening Test for Adolescents (PSTA).
The participants were classified into two groups as those with HRIA (15.96%) and those with lower risk of Internet addiction. The rate of HRIA was higher in the males. The findings indicated that HRIA is related with negative consequences in school, lifetime use of tobacco, alcohol and/or drug, suicidal thoughts, self-harming and delinquent behaviors.
Male gender, lifetime use of tobacco, alcohol and/or drug, depression, attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms and lack of assertiveness predicted the HRIA in Turkish 10(th) grade students. Being aware of those with HRIA is important in prevention and management of Internet addiction as well as other important problems among students, such as substance use.
本研究旨在探讨土耳其十年级学生中，网络成瘾风险较高（HRIA）与终生物质使用、心理和行为因素之间的关系。
这是一项在土耳其伊斯坦布尔 15 个区的 45 所学校进行的横断面在线自我报告调查。2012 年 10 月至 12 月期间，对 4957 名十年级学生进行了研究。除了社会人口统计学变量外，该调查还包括成瘾特征指数网络成瘾筛查版（BAPINT-SV）和青少年心理筛查测试（PSTA）。
参与者被分为两组，一组是具有 HRIA（15.96%）的组，另一组是具有较低网络成瘾风险的组。男性的 HRIA 发生率较高。研究结果表明，HRIA 与学校中的负面后果、终生使用烟草、酒精和/或药物、自杀念头、自残和犯罪行为有关。
男性、终生使用烟草、酒精和/或药物、抑郁、注意力缺陷多动障碍症状和缺乏自信预测了土耳其十年级学生的 HRIA。对于 HRIA 患者的认识，对于预防和管理网络成瘾以及学生中其他重要问题（如物质使用）都很重要。
