本研究旨在探讨大学生上网问题的普遍程度及可能的相关因素。来自中国武汉八所不同大学的约4400名大学生接受了调查，他们从大一到大三不等。采用杨氏网络成瘾诊断问卷（YDQ）和Zung抑郁自评量表对PIU和抑郁进行定义。数据分析采用卡方检验和logistic回归。在3496名参与者中，9.58%（男性13.54%，女性4.88%）符合PIU标准。重度网络使用习惯、学习成绩差、缺乏来自家庭的爱等因素被发现与PIU显著相关。约48.51%（1696）的学生为轻度互联网用户，他们每周使用互联网55小时，而16.36%（572）的学生为重度互联网用户，他们每周使用互联网超过15小时，尽管重度用户更容易发生PIU。抑郁症学生出现PIU的比例为25.53%，而非抑郁症学生出现PIU的比例为8.91% （p < 0.05）。男性、频繁使用互联网、学习成绩差、家庭氛围差和缺乏父母的爱是大学生PIU的预测因子。使用互联网的习惯和目的是多种多样的，这也影响了PIU的易感性。抑郁症和PIU的发展也有关联。
This study was set to investigate the prevalence of problematic internet use (PIU) among college students and the possible factors related to this disorder. About 4400 college students, ranging from freshmen to juniors, from eight different universities in Wuhan, China were surveyed. Young's Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction (YDQ) and the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale were used to define PIU and depression accordingly. Data was analysed with chi-squared testing and logistic regression. Out of the 3496 participants, 9.58% (male 13.54%, female 4.88%) met the criteria of PIU. Factors such as heavy internet use habits, poor academic achievement, lack of love from the family, etc. were found to be significantly associated with PIU. About 48.51% (1696) of the students were light internet users, who use the internet 55 h/week, while 16.36% (572) were heavy users who use it more than 15 h/week, though heavy users were more likely to develop PIU. Also, 25.53% of the students with depression developed PIU, in comparison with 8.91% of PIU among those without depression (p 5 0.001). Being male, frequent internet use, poor academic achievement, poor family atmosphere and lack of love from parents were predictors of PIU among college students. The habit and purpose of using the internet is diverse, which influences the susceptibility of PIU as well. There was a correlation between depression and the development of PIU as well.
