Hubungan Adiksi Internet dengan Status Gizi pada Mahasiswa Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Airlangga

ABSTRAK:Latar Belakang: Penggunaan Internet yang berlebihan saat ini menyebabkan masalah yang disebut Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) atau kecanduan internet. Adiksi internet adalah seseorang yang tidak mampu mengontrol diri untuk menggunakan internet, yang dapat menyebabkan gangguan kesehatan fisik, psikis, maupun kemampuan sosialisasi, dam perubahan pola makan yang mengakibatkan berubahan status gizi. Akses internet yang mudah merupakan faktor utama dalam kecanduan internet dan dapat mengubah gaya hidup. Karena kampus menyediakan fasilitas Internet gratis dan tidak ada pengawasan orang tua, risiko masalah penggunaan Internet mahasiswa meningkat.Tujuan: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mempelajari hubungan adiksi internet dengan status gizi pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat, Universitas AirlanggaMetode: Penelitian ini termasuk jenis penelitian obeservasional analitik dengan desain studi cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Airlangga sebanyak 72 mahasiswa. Pengumpulan data adiksi internet menggunakan kuesioner Young’s Internet Addiction Test , status gizi menggunakan perhitungan indeks massa tubuh melalui pengukuran berat badan serta tinggi badan dan analisis data menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara adiksi internet dengan status gizi (p = 0,020;r=-0,274). Berdasarkan penelitian ini, diketahui bahwa semakin seseorang adiksi terhadap internet maka akansemakin tinggi tingkat status gizinya.Kesimpulan: Kesimpulan pada penelitian ini adalah adanya hubungan negatif yang lemah antara adiksi internet dengan status gizi. Hubungan negatif menunjukkan bahwa semakin seseorang memiliki adiksi pada internet yang tinggi maka semakin rendah status gizinya. Penggunaan internet sebaiknya dibatasi terutama pada area kampus dengan cara membatasi akses wi-fi gratis yang hanya dapat digunakan untuk kebutuhan studi, sehingga dapat mencegah terjadinya permasalahan kesehatan secara psikis dan fisik.Kata kunci: adiksi internet, status gizi, mahasiswa

Effects of Electroacupuncture Combined With Psychological Intervention on Depressive Status and Contingent Negative Variation in Patients With Internet Addiction Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Depressive symptoms often accompany people with Internet addiction syndrome (IAD). Acupuncture has been found to have significant advantages in improving the severity and depressive symptoms of IAD. Contingent negative variation (CNV) is a common method to explore the mechanism of neurophysiology.Objective: The purpose of this study was to observe the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA), psychological intervention (PI), and comprehensive intervention (CI) in the treatment of depression in Internet addiction disorder (IAD), and to observe the changes of contingent negative variation (CNV) in each group.Methods: One hundred and twenty subjects diagnosed with IAD were randomly assigned to the EA group, the PI group, or the CI group. They received EA, PI, or a combination of EA and PI for 40 days. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT), the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were evaluated for all subjects at baseline, 20th, and 40th days of treatment, while CNV data were collected at baseline and 40th days of treatment.Results: Three treatments effectively reduced IAT, SDS, and HAMD scores, and the intergroup comparison showed that CI was superior to EA, while EA was superior to PI. CNV results indicated that the CNV amplitude increased in all three groups of IAD patients after treatment. The CNV latency of point A and A-S2' wave area of the EA group and the CI group did not change significantly after treatment. Only the A-S2' wave area of the PI group increased significantly compared with the baseline period. In addition, IAD's IAT score was positively correlated with SDS and HAMD score at baseline but negatively correlated with CNV latency. After treatment, only the change of HAMD score in the CI group was negatively correlated with amplitude.Conclusion: Our results demonstrate the efficacy of acupuncture and psychological intervention in the treatment of IAD from an electrophysiological perspective. Simultaneously, the increase in CNV amplitude might be the underlying neurophysiological mechanism by which CI improves depression and cognitive function in IAD patients.Clinical Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT02362698.

Prevalence of Internet Addiction Disorder and Its Correlates Among Clinically Stable Adolescents With Psychiatric Disorders in China During the COVID-19 Outbreak

Background: Since the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic emerged, Internet usage has increased among adolescents. Due to this trend, the prevalence of Internet addiction disorder (IAD) may have increased within this group. This study examined the prevalence of IAD and its correlates among clinically stable adolescents with psychiatric disorders in China during the COVID-19 outbreak.Method: A multi-center, cross-sectional study was carried out between April 29 and June 9, 2020 in three major tertiary mental health centers in China. IAD and depressive symptoms were assessed using the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), respectively.Results: A total of 1,454 adolescent psychiatric patients were included in final analyses. The prevalence of IAD was 31.2% (95% CI: 28.8–33.6%) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that poor relationships with parents (P < 0.001, OR = 2.34, 95%CI: 1.49–3.68) and elevated total PHQ-9 scores (P < 0.001, OR = 1.19, 95%CI: 1.16–1.21) were significantly associated with higher risk for IAD while longer daily physical exercise durations (P = 0.04, OR = 0.67, 95%CI: 0.46–0.98) and rural residence (P = 0.003, OR = 0.62, 95%CI: 0.46–0.85) were significant correlates of lower risk for IAD.Conclusions: IAD was common among adolescent patients with clinically stable psychiatric disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic; regular physical exercise, healthy relationships with parents and fewer symptoms of depression were associated with lower risk within this population.

Internet addiction disorder: nuova emergenza nel mondo dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza

Le nuove tecnologie hanno cambiato e continuano a cambiare profondamente il nostro modo di vivere. Il continuo processo di adattamento al cambiamento tecnologico condiziona e modifica costantemente le nostre interazioni in tutti gli ambiti di vita. Non ultima la salute mentale e il lavoro in psicoterapia. Il presente lavoro si pone dunque come obiettivo quello di ritrarre lo stato dell'arte di un campo in continua evoluzione ed espansione. Se da un lato questi strumenti risultano essere un'importante opportunità, dall'altro la comunità scientifica ha cominciato a porre attenzione alla problematicità dell'utilizzo degli stessi, con particolare attenzione a Internet e ai dispositivi ad esso associati. Nello specifico, l'obiettivo è di approfondire la controversia che caratterizza la letteratura sull'uso della tecnologia in termini di vantaggi e svantaggi con un focus specifico sui fattori di rischio e di protezione oltre che un'analisi dettagliata degli effetti negativi a breve e lungo termine e degli elementi comuni negli interventi evidence-based nel trattamento dell'Internet addiction nell'infanzia e nell'adolescenza.

Comparison of Working Memory and Executive Function in Patients with Internet Addiction Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Normal Individuals

Background: Cognitive functions are higher-order cortical activities that include various parameters such as concentration, executive function, and working memory. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare cognitive functions in three groups of Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD), and normal people. Patients and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study included patients with ADHD, IAD, and normal individuals (26 normal individuals and 27 patients in each of the IAD and ADHD groups) who were evaluated by Conners’ Adult Scale, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), Young Internet Addiction Test, and Persian Paper and Pencil Cognitive Assessment Package (PCAP). Data were analyzed by SPSS 23 software. The ANOVA test with Bonferroni’s pairwise comparison and chi-square test were used for data analysis at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that the ADHD subjects scored higher (P < 0.01) on the GHQ test and its subscales, as well as the Conners’ test. Also, patients with ADHD had lower scores on attention, concentration, and working memory scales than IAD and normal counterparts (P < 0.01). Working memory was weaker in IAD patients than normal subjects and ADHD and cognitive function is more damaged than IAD. Conclusions: The results showed that patients with ADHD had higher levels of impairment in working memory than IAD patients. Meanwhile, cognitive deficits were more sensible in ADHD.
