Abstract:
ObjectiveTo understand the status and relationship between social support level and Internet addiction among left-behind middle school students, so as to provide references for the targeted intervention and risk reduction of Internet addiction. MethodsStratified cluster random sampling method was used to recruit 3 532 middle school students from six middle schools in a county of Southeast Chongqing, including 1 945 (55.07%) left-behind students and 1 587 (44.93%) non-left behind students. All the selected students were assessed using self-designed general situation questionnaire, Diagnostic Scale of Internet Addiction for Middle School Students (DSIA-MSS) and Adolescent Social Support Rating Scale (ASSRS), then the trend test was performed on relationships of social support to Internet addiction. Results① The detection rate of Internet addiction in the left behind group was higher than that in the non-left behind group (22.98% vs. 16.13%, χ2=25.732, P<0.01). ② ASSRS score in the left behind group was lower than that in the non-left behind group [(66.81±15.92) vs. (68.19±16.18), t=2.544, P=0.011]. ③ Among three different living states of students (non-left behind, one-parent working outside, both-parents working outside), the detection rate of Internet addiction demonstrated significant differences among students with different social support levels (χ2=35.220, 37.662, 31.434, P<0.01). ④ A "dose-effect" relationship of social support to Internet addiction was found, indicating that students with higher social support levels suffered a lower risk of Internet addiction (P<0.01). ConclusionLeft-behind middle school students develop a prominent problem of Internet addiction, which is closely related to their social support level, and the two aspects display a negative "dose-effect" relationship.
