Resumo
O uso abusivo de internet tem sido tema de diversas pesquisas realizadas no
mundo. A maioria desses estudos aponta que a dependência de internet pode ter
correlações com alterações psicológicas, como sofrimento psíquico, incapacidade
funcional e transtornos psiquiátricos, alterações comportamentais, como
comportamentos introvertido e emocionalmente instável, alterações de saúde
associada ao sedentarismo e alterações sociais, como a predileção pela interação
social pela internet em oposição à interação face a face. O presente estudo
pretendeu avaliar as influências do uso abusivo de internet em vários aspectos que
permeiam a qualidade de vida de jovens universitários. Para avaliar a qualidade de
vida foi utilizado o questionário Medical Outcome Short Form Health Survey (SF-36),
que é composto por 8 escalas que analisam: capacidade funcional, aspectos físicos,
dor, estado geral de saúde, vitalidade, aspectos sociais, aspectos emocionais e
saúde mental. Para a avaliação do uso de internet foi aplicado o questionário
Sample Questions for a Screening Interviem Assessiing Problematic Internet Use. Os
resultados do estudo mostraram que os participantes que utilizam por mais tempo a
internet demonstraram os menores escores nos domínios Vitalidade, Dor e Saúde
Mental. Os que relataram utilizar a internet para mudar o humor tiveram os menores
escores em Vitalidade e Saúde Mental, e os que disseram se sentir ansiosos,
deprimidos ou isolados quando offline tiveram os menores valores nos escores
Vitalidade, Aspecto Emocional e Saúde Mental. Porém, os valores foram crescente s
no domínio Aspecto Social conforme aumentou o número de horas de uso de
internet por dia. Os participantes que relataram ter irregularidades no sono por conta
do uso da internet tiveram os menores escores nos domínios Capacidade Funcional,
Dor e Estado Geral de Saúde. Dessa forma concluiu-se que os participantes, apesar
de terem alguns benefícios com o uso da internet, sofrem com déficits na qualidade
de vida, com escores menores do que o esperado para um público jovem, em
diversos aspectos.
Overuse of the Internet has been the subject of numerous studies in the world. Most of these studies indicate that internet addiction can have correlations with psychological disorders, such as psychological distress, functional disability and psychiatric disorders, behavioral changes, such as introverted and emotionally unstable behavior, changes in health associated with sedentary lifestyle and social changes, such as the preference social interaction over the Internet as opposed to face to face interaction. This study aimed to evaluate the influences of Internet abuse in several aspects that permeate the quality of life of university students. To assess the quality of life we used the Medical Outcomes Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), which is composed of eight scales that analyze: physical functioning, role physical, pain, general health, vitality, aspect social, role emotional and mental health. To evaluate the use of the Internet questionnaire was applied to Sample Questions for a Screening Interviem Assessiing Problematic Internet Use. The study results showed that participants who use the internet longer have the lowest scores for Vitality, Pain and Mental Health. Those who reported using the Internet to change the mood had the lowest scores in vitality and mental health, and those who said they felt anxious, depressed or isolated when offline had the lowest scores in vitality, role emotional and mental health. However, values were increased in the field Social Aspect as the number of hours of Internet use per day. Participants who reported having sleep over irregularities in the use of the Internet had the lowest scores on the Functional Capacity, Pain and General Health. Thus was concluded that the participants, despite having some benefits in using the Internet, suffer from deficits in quality of life, with scores lower than expected for a young audience, in several respects
