Problematic Internet use and daily difficulties among adolescents with school refusal behaviors: An observational cross-sectional analytical study
Problematic Internet use (PIU) is common and likely to coexist with mental health problems among adolescents with school refusal behavior. To date, no study has revealed to what extent PIU relates to the daily burden compared with other mental health problems. This study has examined the association...

description | Problematic Internet use (PIU) is common and likely to coexist with mental health problems among adolescents with school refusal behavior. To date, no study has revealed to what extent PIU relates to the daily burden compared with other mental health problems. This study has examined the association between daily difficulties and PIU among adolescents with school refusal behaviors. This cross-sectional study involved all first-visit patients, regardless of diagnosis, aged 10 to 18 years at 2 child/adolescent psychiatric outpatient clinics in Yokohama City, Japan, from April 2016 to March 2018. The Questionnaire-Children with Difficulties (QCD) were obtained from parents. Simultaneously, the severity of PIU was evaluated using the Internet Addiction Test and depressive and anxiety symptoms were evaluated using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and General Anxiety Disorder-7 scale in the 2 weeks before the first-visit. From 684 first-visit patients, 227 with school refusal behaviors were enrolled in the study. PIU was observed in 40% of adolescents with school refusal behaviors. The QCD scores among patients with PIU were significantly lower than those in patients without PIU. Linear regression analysis revealed relationships between PIU and lower QCD scores throughout the day (except at night) and the total score of the day, after controlling for confounders such as depressive and anxiety symptoms. In conclusion, among adolescents with school refusal behaviors, PIU may affect their parent-assessed daily difficulties particularly experienced throughout the day. |
