Problematic Internet use (PIU) among students has become a significant mental health concern. Our goals were to review the existing studies on problematic Internet from Southeast Asian Region and examine: the prevalence for PIU among students; explore for sociodemographic and clinical correlates; and assess the physical, mental, and psychosocial impact of PIU in this population. All studies conducted among population of the Southeast Asia, involving students (school students to postgraduate students) of any age which explored etiological factors and/or the prevalence or any other factor associated with PIU/Internet addiction were considered eligible for the present review. The electronic databases of PubMed and Google Scholar were systematically searched for the relevant published studies up to and including October 2016. Our search strategy yielded 549 articles, 295 of which were eligible for screening based on their publication in English language in a peer-reviewed journal. Of these, a total of 38 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The prevalence of severe PIU/Internet addiction ranged from 0 to 47.4%, whereas the prevalence of Internet overuse/possible Internet addiction ranged from 7.4% to 46.4% among students from Southeast Asia. Physical impairments in the form of insomnia (26.8%), daytime sleepiness (20%), and eye strain (19%) were also reported among problem users. There is a need to conduct further research in this area to explore the protective and risk factors associated with it and also longitudinally assess the trajectories of the outcome.
学生中存在的问题性互联网使用（PIU）已成为一个重大的心理健康问题。我们的目标是回顾东南亚地区现有的关于 PIU 的研究，并探讨：PIU 在学生中的流行率；探索社会人口学和临床相关性；评估该人群中 PIU/网络成瘾的身体、心理和社会心理影响。所有在东南亚地区人群中进行的、涉及任何年龄学生（从中小学生到研究生）的研究，只要其探讨了病因因素以及 PIU/网络成瘾的流行率或任何其他相关因素，都被认为符合本综述的纳入标准。系统地检索了 PubMed 和 Google Scholar 电子数据库，以获取截至 2016 年 10 月的相关已发表研究。我们的搜索策略产生了 549 篇文章，其中 295 篇基于在同行评审期刊上以英文发表而有资格进行筛选。在这些文章中，共有 38 项研究符合纳入标准，并被纳入综述。东南亚地区学生中严重 PIU/网络成瘾的流行率从 0 到 47.4%不等，而互联网过度使用/可能网络成瘾的流行率从 7.4%到 46.4%不等。问题使用者还报告了身体损伤，如失眠（26.8%）、白天嗜睡（20%）和眼睛疲劳（19%）。有必要在这一领域进行进一步的研究，以探讨与之相关的保护和风险因素，并对其结果进行纵向评估。
