BACKGROUND: Adolescent Intemet addition disorder(IAD) gradually appears with the rapid popularization of Internet in China. National researches are rare at present.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the status quo of Internet use and on-line behavior characters of college students and to provide scientific data for the prevention of adolescent IAD.DESIGN: A status quo survey by employing college students as subjects SETTING: Department of psychiatrics of a medical university-affiliated hospitalPARTICIPANTS: Totally 510 college students were selected from three different type universities of Shanxi province including Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan University of Technology, Shanxi University of Finance and Economics between November 2003 and February 2004.METHODS: Totally 510 college students from three universities of Shanxi Province were assessed by IAD test and self-compiled questionnaire for on-line college students.and non-IAD students.RESULTS: The detectable rate of IAD in college students of Shanxi province was 6.2%. More male students( n =29) had IAD than female students ( n = 3 ). Weekly on-line time of IAD students was (18.59 ± 16. 12)hours, which was significantly longer than (5.61 ± 5.64) hours of non-IAD student( P < 0. 001 ) . There were significant differences of monthly on-line expenses, usual on-line place, opinions of whether intemet had negative impacts, understanding of their parents on internet functions they used, and the objective of on-line between IAD students and non-IAD students(P<0.05 -0. 001 ), while there were no significant differences of on-line history and the utilization of internet function between two groups of students ( P > 0. 05).CONCLUSION: The detectable rate of IAD in college students is relatively high and there is significant difference of on-line behavior characters between IAD students and non-IAD students, which should arouse attentions from the related department to prevent the occurrence of IAD.

BACKGROUND: It is reported that the first line medical staff have experienced posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) symptoms after severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) events. However, there are few reports regarding the PTSD symptoms among SARS patients and the public in epidemic area. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence and main influence factors of PTSD among SARS patients and the public in epidemic area.DESIGN: Sampling investigation.SETTING: First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University. PARTICIPANTS: Totally 114 SARS patients and 93 people were selected from the epidemic area of Taiyuan city from August to September in 2003.METHODS: Self-made stressor-cognition questionnaire, edited impact of event scale-revised (IES-R), perceived social support scale (PSSS), simple cope scale questionnaire(SCSQ), self-esteem scale(SES) and eysenck personality questionaire(EPQ) were conducted to 114 SARS patients and 93 common people in epidemic area. Correlative analysis was performed as well.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Detection rate of PTSD among SARS patients and the public in epidemic area. ② The score of intrusion factor,avoidance factor and hyperarousal factor of two populations. ③ The correlative analysis between IES-R score and influence factor among SARS patients and the public in epidemic area.RESULTS: The detection rate of suspect of PTSD among SARS patients was higher than that in public of epidemic area(55.1% , 31%, P = 0.000)The score of intrusion, avoidance and hyperarousal factor of SARS patients ( 11.37±9.54, 10.28±7.67, 6.55±6.20) was much higher than those of the public in epidemic area(5.64±4.68,5.58±4.74, 4.43 ±4.63,P = 0. 000) . The correlative analysis showed that the difference on PTSD incidence between SARS patients and the public of epidemic area might be due to the different stressor intensity and features. The negative response mode was the risk factor of both SARS patients and the public of epidemic area while self-esteem was the protective factor of SARS patients. CONCLUSION: ① PTSD symptoms had appeared among all the correlative populations although the exposure intensity of SARS event stress was different. The detection rate of PTSD and symptoms of intrusion, avoidance and hyperarousal were much common among SARS patients; ② The difference between groupswas due to the different stressor intensity as well as the different influence factors of different population.

Objective To explore the characteristics of cognitive impairment and its influence factors in first-epi?sode depression patients with sleep disorder. Methods Three hundred and eighteen patients with first-episode depres?sion and two hundreds and forty-three healthy controls were recruited. The patients were divided into two group accord?ing to the sleeping situation: 202 patients with sleep disorder and 116 patients without. The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) was used to evaluated the cognitive function of all subjects, including immediate memory, visual span, speech function, attention and delayed memory. The 17 item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) was used to evaluate patients’symptoms. Results The scores of immediate memory, visual span, speech function, delayed memory and the whole scale in the depression patients with sleep disorder were significantly lower than the patients without sleep disorder and the controls (P<0.05). Compared with the controls, the patients without sleep disor?der had lower scores of immediate memory, language function, delayed memory and the whole scale (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that in the depression patients with sleep disorder, the RBANS score was related with the cogni?tive factors in HAMD (β=6.29, P=0.04);immediate memory was related with age (β=-0.24, P=0.04);visual span was re?lated with sleeping factor in HAMD (β=2.33, P=0.01);speech function was related with marriage (β=-5.74, P=0.01) and sleeping factor in HAMD (β=-1.20, P=0.03). In the depression patients with sleep disorder, speech function of RBANS was related with age (β=-0.32, P=0.04);attention was related with retardation factor in HAMD (β=2.52, P=0.01). Con?clusion The first-episode depression patients with sleep disorders have cognitive function damage in many aspects. The depressive symptoms (sleep changes, cognitive disorders, retardation and so on), age and marital status may be the influ?encing factors on cognitive impairment in first-episode depression patients with sleep disorder.

Objective To investigate mental symptoms of SARS patients and its related factors for three period-admission, discharge and three months after SARS crisis and to carry out mental intervention and effect evaluation.Methods The mental problems of SARS patients in three periods of admission, discharger and three months after discharger were continuously investigated.114 SARS patients came from seven designated hospitals in Taiyuan of Shanxi. The participants were assessed by self- compiled stressor Questionnaire, PSSS, SCSQ, SES, SCL-90 and EPQ.Results 1.Change tendency of factor score: The SCL-90 total and factors scores including obsessive-compulsion, phobic anxiety went up during discharge compared with admission. After that,these factors scores went down. The factors scores of somatization and depression descended continuously for three period. 2.Change tendency of the incidence:The incidence on factors of obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, phobic anxiety ascended during discharge compared with admission. Then,these factors scores descended. The other factors went down continually for three periods.3. The self-esteem was influencing factor on mental symptoms of SARS patients for three periods.Conscientious condition severity was influencing factor in admission and discharge.Negative coping was influencing factor in discharge and three months after SARS crisis. Education was influencing factor in three months after SARS crisis.4.After intervention ,the most mental symptoms of 35 SARS patients had mental problems were improved. Dissimilarly, a part of mental symptoms got severity.Conclusions 1.SARS patients exist severe mood disorders and have different influencing factors for three periods. They should be evaluated continuously and be intervened in time.2.The effect of mental intervention by telephone is not uncertainty.

Objective This paper focuses on the investigation of the occurrence and influential factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)in SARS patients, hospital staffs and the public expo sed to SARS. Methodes Three groups were assessed by scale of self-compiled stressor Questionnaire, impact of event scale-revised (IES-R) , PSSS, SCSQ, SES and EPQ. Results 1. The incidence of PTSD symptoms in the three groups were 55.1% ,25.8 % and 31.18 %. 2. The main cause of the different incidence was the difference of the stressor intensity and characters. Negative coping was the risk factor of SARS patients and the public; Self-esteem was the protected factor of SARS patients and the hospital staffs; Social support was a protected factor on the hospital staffs. 3. Comparing to the first investigate in September,2003 ,the data of follow-up study in September,2004 showed that the prevalence items significant decreased. Conclusions 1. The investigation concludes that all three groups of people exposed o SARS exhibit PTSD symptom. SARS patients have the highest occurrence ( P < 0.01 ). 2. The main influencing factors of different incidence of PTSD in different groups are intensities and characteristics of stressors. Different people who had PTSD symptoms have different influencing factors. 3. With the change of time , the PTSD symptoms significant relieve with the attenuation gradually of exposure degree of stressor.
