Objectives This objective of the study was to report the prevalence of internet addiction, sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and stress in undergraduate medical students. Methods A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted among 221 undergraduate medical students at Government Doon Medical College, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Data pertaining to internet addiction, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms were also collected using validated and reliable questionnaires (Young Internet Addiction Test, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21). Results The prevalence of poor sleep quality, severe anxiety, and severe depression was 33.9%, 7.3% and 3.6%, respectively. The place of residence was significantly associated ( p = 0.006) with internet addiction. The mean Young Internet Addiction Test score was higher in students residing in hostels compared with students staying with families. Stress was associated with age. The mean stress score was higher in the age group 17–20 compared with the 21–24 age group. Stress and depression were independent predictors of sleep quality. Conclusion Quality sleep is the key for good health. Based on limited samples, this study showed that poor sleep quality was associated with stress and depression. Hence, continuous counselling is suggested for supporting students managing their stress and depression.

Background and aimsExcessive use of electronic devices has become a major global problem. However, little is known about the development and current landscape of research concerning this field. This study aimed at exploring the overall publication trend and topics of research on the overuse of electronic devices and the Internet from 1971 to 2017.MethodsWe systematically searched the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases for published articles on the excessive use of electronic devices and the Internet. Data regarding the publication volume, international collaborations, and geographical locations were analyzed by bibliometrics analysis. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) was undertaken to categorize publications into different research topics.ResultsA total of 2,276 papers from the WOS and 600 papers from the Scopus were included. We found a dramatic increase in the number of scientific papers towards addiction to electronic devices and the Internet. The United State led in all publication parameters including the total number of papers and total citations. China, Korea and Taiwan were among the most prolific countries/regions. Smartphone addiction was the main concern, and the relationship between the overuse of electronic devices and the Internet and mental health issues have been highlighted. On the other hand, our study found a limited appearance of discussion on effective treatment and intervention.Discussion and ConclusionThe findings of this study call for more national and international cooperation in evaluating and intervening addiction to electronic devices and the Internet to gather more knowledge about this phenomenon and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the quality of life and physical activity of university students with internet addiction and to examine them according to gender differences. Methods: In this study, a total of 320 internet users of college students with ages ranging from 18 to 30 were recruited. To measure the level of ınternet addiction, the Internet Addiction Test was used. Based on the total test score, internet addiction was categorized as no addiction if the score was less than 49. International Physical Activity Questionaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) used in physical activity level assessment. Students were evaluated with the World Health Organisation Quality of Life Scale-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire, which examines the quality of life in 4 dimensions (physical health, psychological, social relations, and environment). Results: According to the UFAA scores, the students were individuals with low physical activity (2035.54±2205.39 METmin/week). They were included in the asymptomatic (0-49) group with their Internet addiction level (33.10± 5.40). Physical health scores were higher in male students. There was no effect of physical activity on the ınternet addiction level. Physical health interacted negatively with internet addiction, while it had a positive effect on social relationships. If gender was controlled, internet addiction was negatively affected by physical health and the environment, and there was a positive correlation between social relations and internet addiction. Conclusion: Internet addiction was unrelated to gender or physical activity level however it was inversely related to the quality of life domains (physical health, environment), also was directly proportional to social relations. Keywords: Internet addiction, physical activity, quality of life, college students ÖZ Amaç: Üniversite öğrencilerinin yaşam kaliteleri ve fiziksel aktifliklerinin internet bağımlılığı ile ilişkisini araştırmak ve bunları cinsiyet farklılıklarına göre incelemekti. Yöntem: Yaşları 18 ila 30 arasında değişen toplam 320 internet kullanıcısı üniversite öğrencisi araştırmaya dahil edildi. İnternet bağımlılık düzeyini ölçmede İnternet Bağımlılık Testi kullanıldı. Toplam test puanına göre alınan skor 49'un altında ise internet bağımlılığı yok olarak değerlendirildi. Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Formu (UFAA-SF) fiziksel aktivite düzeyi değerlendirmesinde kullanıldı. Yaşam kalitesini 4 boyutta inceleyen (fiziksel sağlık, psikolojik sağlık, sosyal ilişkiler ve çevre) Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yaşam Kalitesi-Kısa anketi ile öğrenciler değerlendirildi. Bulgular: UFAA skorlarına göre öğrenciler, fiziksel aktivite düzeyi düşük (2035,54±2205,39 MET-dk/hafta) bireylerdi. İnternet bağımlılık düzeyleri ile (33,10±15,40) semptom göstermeyen (0-49) grupta yer aldılar. Erkek öğrencilerde fiziksel sağlık skorları daha yüksekti. İnternet bağımlılık düzeyi üzerinde fiziksel aktifliğin etkisi gözlenmedi. Fiziksel sağlık, internet bağımlılığı ile negatif yönlü etkileşim gösterirken, s...
