(1)背景资料：新冠肺炎大流行期间，多数国家政府普遍实行严格的封锁和检疫，以最大限度地减少病毒的传播。以前的研究已经调查了隔离和社会隔离对心理健康的影响，而目前的研究调查了孤独和有问题的互联网使用。(2)方法：目前的研究使用了新冠肺炎大流行封锁阶段的横断面调查。对来自中东地区(科威特、沙特阿拉伯)的593名参与者进行了修订后的加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独量表和网络成瘾测试。(3)结果：回归分析结果表明，孤独感与问题互联网使用(PIU)之间存在关联，孤独感与上网时数之间存在关联。年龄较小的参与者报告的孤独感更强。与被禁闭的人(S)的关系质量也与孤独感相关。那些报告了更多孤独感的人也经常从社交媒体上获得关于疫情的消息。有问题的互联网使用与孤独和孤独的预测因素有关。方差分析显示，预测因子和PIU之间存在剂量反应关系。(4)结论：本研究突出了新冠肺炎封锁期间当地文化的社会特征对孤独感和PIU的影响。
(1) Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, strict lock-down and quarantine were widely imposed by most governments to minimize the spread of the virus. Previous studies have investigated the consequences of the quarantine and social isolation on mental health and the present study examines loneliness and problematic internet use. (2) Methods: The current research used a cross-sectional survey during a lock-down phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. A sample of 593 participants from the Middle East region (Kuwait, Saudi Arabia) were tested using the short form of the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Internet Addiction Test. (3) Results: Results from regression analyses showed an association between loneliness and Problematic Internet Use (PIU), and an association between loneliness and the number of hours spent online. Younger participants reported greater loneliness. The quality of the relationship with the person(s) with whom they were spending their lock-down was also correlated with loneliness. Those who reported greater loneliness also obtained frequent news about the pandemic from social media. Problematic internet use was associated with loneliness and the predictors of loneliness. ANOVA analyses showed a dose-response between the predictors and PIU. (4) Conclusions: This study highlights the influence of the social characteristics of the local culture during the COVID-19 lock-down on feelings of loneliness and on PIU.
