The extensive availability of internet has led to the the recognition of problematic internet use (so called internet addiction, IA) mostly involving adolescents. There is limited data about the prevalence of IA in adults. Here we present a study focusing on the prevalence and risk factors of internet addiction among high school teachers. Overall 2500 paper-based questionnaires were successfully delivered and 1817 responses received (response rate of 72.7%). In our study 1194 females (65.7%) and 623 males (34.3%) participated. In a multivariate analysis including of all factors (demographic data, internet habits, comorbidity etc.) age <35 years (OR: 6.098, CI: 5.09-7.08, < 0.001), male gender (OR = 5.413, CI: 4.39-6.18, = 0.002), surfing on the internet > 5 h daily (OR 2.568, CI: 2.03-3.39, < 0.001), having no children (OR: 1.353, CI: 1.13-1.99, = 0.0248), and having secondary employment (OR = 11.377, CI: 8.67-13.07, = 0.001) were significantly associated with internet addiction. This is the first study from Hungary showing the prevalence and risk factors of internet addiction among high school teachers. A small, but significant proportion suffered from IA. Our study also draws attention to the risk factors of IA such as younger age, family status and working type.
互联网的广泛普及导致了对有问题的互联网使用(即所谓的网络成瘾,IA)的认识,这种情况大多涉及青少年。关于成年人网络成瘾患病率的数据有限。在此,我们展示一项针对高中教师网络成瘾患病率及风险因素的研究。总共成功发放了2500份纸质问卷,收到1817份回复(回复率为72.7%)。在我们的研究中,有1194名女性(65.7%)和623名男性(34.3%)参与。在一项包含所有因素(人口统计学数据、上网习惯、合并症等)的多变量分析中,年龄<35岁(比值比:6.098,置信区间:5.09 - 7.08,P<0.001)、男性(比值比 = 5.413,置信区间:4.39 - 6.18,P = 0.002)、每日上网>5小时(比值比2.568,置信区间:2.03 - 3.39,P<0.001)、没有孩子(比值比:1.353,置信区间:1.13 - 1.99,P = 0.0248)以及有第二职业(比值比 = 11.377,置信区间:8.67 - 13.07,P = 0.001)与网络成瘾显著相关。这是匈牙利第一项展示高中教师网络成瘾患病率及风险因素的研究。一小部分但比例显著的人患有网络成瘾。我们的研究还提请人们关注网络成瘾的风险因素,如年龄较小、家庭状况和工作类型。
