“…These were independent predictors of problematic internet use. We have also found different patterns of internet use as predictors of addiction such as chatting or watching movies, and significant association of the duration of being online and problematic internet use as described before [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Surfing the internet > 5 h daily was a significant predictor of addiction.…”

The extensive availability of the internet has led to the recognition of problematic internet use, the so-called Internet Addiction (IA), mostly involving adolescents. Burnout can lead to substance abuse or addictive behaviour (such as internet addiction) as a coping method. There are insufficient data about internet addiction and its possible association with burnout in adults, especially among healthcare workers. The aim of our present study was to focus on prevalence and the risk factors of internet addiction and its possible association with burnout among healthcare workers in a single hospital applying a questionnaire-based survey. In total, 49 doctors (10.1%), 198 nurses (40.9%), 123 medical assistant (25.4%), 73 other healthcare workers (15.1%), and 42 (1.7%) healthcare associated workers (cleaning, laundry, etc.) have completed our survey. In a multivariate analysis, IA was associated with age between 18 and 25 (OR: 2.6, p = 0.024), surfing on the internet >5 h daily (OR 25.583, p < 0.001), being single (OR: 4.275, p = 0.006), being childless (OR: 3.81, p = 0.011), working less than five years (OR 2.135, p = 0.048) and job type (being healthcare associated worker, OR: 2.907, p = 0.009). Illicit drug intake (OR 52.494, p < 0.001), and diabetes (OR: 4.122, p = 0.043) were also significantly associated with internet addiction. No association of burnout and IA could be found. A small but significant proportion of our healthcare workers suffered from IA, which was associated with substance abuse and diabetes in multivariate analysis. Our study also draws attention to the risk factors of IA such as younger age, family status, working type and working hours internet use. The possible association of burnout and IA merits further investigation.

“…Increased frequency of internet use has been previously shown being associated with IA, several studies showed 2 hours cut-off time interval as the precedessor of addiction (20,21). We found the cut-off value of 5 hours or more daily internet use as an independent risk factor of IA, which is in concordance with very recent results (22).…”

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 insufficient 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%). 1194 females (65.7%) and 623 males (34.3%) participated in our study.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, p<0.001), male gender (OR=5.413, CI: 4.39-6.18, p=0.002), surfing on the internet > 5 hours daily (OR 2.568, CI: 2.03-3.39, p<0.001), having no children (OR: 1.353, CI: 1.13-1.99, p=0.0248), and having secondary employment (OR=11.377, CI: 8.67-13.07, p=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.

“…This indicated that parental education level might be a better indicator of PIU and problematic gaming. However, parental education level has been rarely included in studies on PIU and problematic gaming, and findings from only a few studies across different populations offered inconclusive evidence [ 61 , 62 ]. In this study, the mean scores of both PIU and problematic gaming were also found to be higher among those that used any type of substance, and highest among those who used at least 2 types of substances in the past year.…”

Introduction This study aimed to examine the mediating role of sleep quality in the association of problematic internet use (PIU) and problematic gaming with psychological distress among college students in China. Methods Data of 1040 full-time students from multiple colleges in China were examined. Respondents were asked about their internet use and gaming behaviors, sleep quality, psychological distress, and sociodemographic characteristics. The mediating role of sleep quality in the PIU- and problematic gaming-psychological distress link was examined respectively. Results PIU was associated with decreased sleep quality (r = .32, p < .001) and increased psychological distress (r = .46, p < .001). Problematic gaming was also associated with decreased sleep quality (r = .22, p < .001) and increased psychological distress (r = .46, p < .001). Sleep quality accounted for 23.5% of the indirect effect of PIU on psychological distress, and 17.9% of the indirect effect of problematic gaming on psychological distress. Conclusions Sleep quality had a meaningful mediating effect on the PIU-psychological distress link, but only exerted a small mediating effect on the problematic gaming-psychological distress link. In addition to promoting healthy internet usage, strategies aimed at mitigating the negative effect of excessive internet use on psychological health might benefit from those aimed at improving sleep quality.
