There are few studies about mothers' problematic Internet use (PIU). Mothers' PIU may lead to inadequate parenting and child abuse.
This cross-sectional study aimed to clarify the association between mothers' PIU and their recognition of child abuse.
We analyzed data collected of health examinations of children aged 4 months, 1.5 years, and 3 years which were carried out in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, Japan between April 2016 and March 2017. The number of the subjects were 1685, 1729, 1674, respectively.
We used logistic regression analysis to clarify the association between mothers' PIU (Young's Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction score: ≥5) and their recognition of child abuse (selecting < True of me > for < I sometimes think that I am abusing my child > on a questionnaire survey), which was adjusted for covariates such as maternal age, number of children, daytime caretaker, social support, postpartum depression, and current smoking status of the parents.
Based on the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the mothers' PIU was significantly correlated with their recognition of child abuse for children aged 4 months, 1.5 years, or 3 years [odds ratio (OR): 13.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.26-139.98, OR: 7.02, 95% CI: 1.28-38.55, and OR: 28.06, 2.48-317.93, respectively].
This study revealed the possibility that mothers with PIU recognize child abuse more than mothers without PIU. However, further studies should be conducted to increase reliability and validity.
目前针对母亲网络成瘾问题（PIU）的研究较少。母亲的 PIU 可能会导致其无法胜任父母的角色，甚至虐待儿童。
本横断面研究旨在阐明母亲的 PIU 与其对儿童虐待的认知之间的关系。
我们分析了 2016 年 4 月至 2017 年 3 月在日本岛根县松江市进行的儿童 4 个月、1.5 岁和 3 岁健康检查的数据。每个年龄段的研究对象分别为 1685、1729 和 1674 名。
我们采用逻辑回归分析来阐明母亲 PIU（Young 互联网成瘾诊断问卷得分：≥5）与她们对儿童虐待的认知之间的关系（在问卷调查中选择<对我来说是这样的>而非<有时我觉得我在虐待我的孩子>），并对母亲年龄、子女数量、日间看护人、社会支持、产后抑郁和父母当前吸烟状况等混杂因素进行了调整。
基于多变量逻辑回归分析，PIU 母亲对 4 个月、1.5 岁或 3 岁儿童的儿童虐待认知显著相关（优势比（OR）：13.30，95%置信区间（CI）：1.26-139.98，OR：7.02，95%CI：1.28-38.55，OR：28.06，95%CI：2.48-317.93）。
本研究揭示了 PIU 母亲比非 PIU 母亲更有可能认识到儿童虐待的可能性。然而，需要进一步的研究来提高可靠性和有效性。
