网瘾（IA）是亚洲年轻人普遍存在的问题。本研究旨在研究互联网和网络活动对越南年轻人健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）的影响。本研究还比较了患有和不患有IA的越南年轻人的焦虑、抑郁和其他成瘾的频率。本研究通过受访者驱动的抽样技术招募了566名年龄在15至25岁之间的越南人（56.7%为女性，43.3%为男性）。采用卡方检验、t检验和方差分析对有无IA的越南青年进行比较。使用回归分析来检验互联网使用特征与HRQOL之间的关系。这项横断面研究的结果显示，21.2%的参与者患有IA。网络关系对IA参与者的行为和生活方式的影响显著高于非IA参与者。患有IA的参与者更有可能在自我照顾方面出现问题，在日常生活中遇到困难，遭受疼痛和不适，焦虑和抑郁。与之前的研究相反，我们发现IA组和非IA组在性别、社会人口统计学、吸烟、吸烟水烟和酒精依赖的参与者数量方面没有差异。IA与越南年轻人较差的HRQOL显著相关。IA是越南年轻人的常见问题，与其他亚洲国家相比，IA的患病率最高。我们的研究结果表明，性别可能在IA中不起关键作用。当男女都能平等上网时，这可能会成为一种新兴趋势。通过研究IA对HRQOL的影响，医疗保健专业人员可以设计有效的干预措施来减轻越南IA的负面影响。
Internet addiction (IA) is a common problem found in young Asians. This study aimed to study the influence of IA and online activities on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in young Vietnamese. This study also compared the frequencies of anxiety, depression and other addiction of young Vietnamese with and without IA. This study recruited 566 young Vietnamese (56.7% female, 43.3% male) ranging from 15 to 25 years of age via the respondent-driven sampling technique. Chi-squared, t-test and analysis of variance were used to compare young Vietnamese with and without IA. Regression analyses were used to examine the association between internet usage characteristics and HRQOL. Results from this cross-sectional study showed that 21.2% of participants suffered from IA. Online relationship demonstrated significantly higher influences on behaviors and lifestyles in participants with IA than those without IA. Participants with IA were more likely to have problems with self-care, difficulty in performing daily routine, suffer from pain and discomfort, anxiety and depression. Contrary to previous studies, we found that there were no differences in gender, sociodemographic, the number of participants with cigarette smoking, water-pipe smoking and alcohol dependence between the IA and non-IA groups. IA was significantly associated with poor HRQOL in young Vietnamese. IA is a common problem among young Vietnamese and the prevalence of IA is the highest as compared to other Asian countries. Our findings suggest that gender may not play a key role in IA. This can be an emerging trend when both genders have equal access to the internet. By studying the impact of IA on HRQOL, healthcare professionals can design effective intervention to alleviate the negative consequences of IA in Vietnam.
