(1) Background: To examine the prevalence, and associated factors of, problematic Internet use in a sample of Spanish university students. (2) Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study of a convenience sample of 698 university students. Self-esteem, alcohol consumption, perceived social support, depression, anxiety, stress and problematic Internet use were evaluated using the Rosenberg, CAGE, DUKE-UNC-11, DASS-21 and Young's Internet Addiction Test, respectively. (3) Results: Problematic internet use was reported by 21% of respondents. Risk of problematic Internet use was independently associated with the preferred use of the smartphone, time of exposure to the Internet, less perceived social support, problematic alcohol consumption and symptoms of stress and anxiety. We found significant association between problematic internet use and time of exposure to the Internet, residential status, alcohol consumption, self-esteem, perceived social support and psychological distress, after bivariate analysis. (4) Conclusions: A considerable prevalence of problematic Internet use was found; in our sample problematic Internet use was associated with stress, alcohol consumption, anxiety and perceived social support. Strategies aimed at the early identification of problematic Internet use may lead to an improvement in the psychosocial health of the university student population.
(1) 背景：在西班牙大学生样本中，研究了网络问题使用的流行程度及其相关因素。(2) 方法：对 698 名大学生的便利样本进行了横断面描述性研究。使用罗森伯格量表、CAGE 量表、杜克大学-北卡罗来纳大学 11 项量表、DASS-21 量表和杨的网络成瘾测试分别评估了自尊、饮酒、感知社会支持、抑郁、焦虑和压力以及网络问题使用。(3) 结果：21%的受访者报告存在网络问题使用。网络问题使用的风险与智能手机的偏好使用、上网时间、感知社会支持减少、问题性饮酒以及压力和焦虑症状独立相关。在进行了双变量分析后，我们发现网络问题使用与上网时间、居住状态、饮酒、自尊、感知社会支持和心理困扰之间存在显著关联。(4) 结论：发现了相当高的网络问题使用流行程度；在我们的样本中，网络问题使用与压力、饮酒、焦虑和感知社会支持有关。旨在早期识别网络问题使用的策略可能会提高大学生群体的社会心理健康水平。
