Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : The purpose of this study was to survey the degree to which people use the Internet prior to joining the army and mental health.
Methods: The author assessed Internet addiction and mental health using an Internet addiction diagnostic scale for soldiers and the Symptoms Check-list-90. A total of 508 subjects were included in the final analysis. Collected data were analyzed by independent t-test.
Results: The Internet addiction risk group (n=19, 3.7%) had significantly higher mean scores for obsessive-compulsion (t=-2.43, p=0.02) and interpersonal-sensitivity subscales (t=-2.30, p=0.03) than the control group.
Conclusion: Internet addiction was related to soldiers’ mental health. An assessment focused on internet use would be useful in the evaluation of a person potential adaptation to the military.
