For higher education students, the fact that their universities were closed was a major change in their lives. The aim of this study is to relate the prevalence and type of social media with Internet addiction and mental health of university students in a district of Portugal during COVID-19 confinement. Mental health was studied by applying the reduced version of the Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5) and to measure the Internet use and dependence, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) was used. The study (cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational) used an online questionnaire, conducted on Google® Forms and the link was sent to 4450 students, in the months of April to June 2020, during the confinement. A total of 329 valid questionnaires were obtained. We can conclude that regarding mental health, students in the 18–24 age group, single or divorced and who are not in a relationship, and with worse academic results, show worse levels of mental health. It is noteworthy that the students with the same characteristics also have the highest levels of addiction to internet. © 2022 by the authors.MDPIIC-OnlineOliveira, Ana PaulaNobre, Joana RitaLuis, HenriqueLuis, Luis SoaresPinho, Lara GuedesAlbacar-Riobóo, NúriaSequeira, Carlos2024-01-16T18:20:21Z2022-12-302022-12-30T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.8/9298engOliveira, A.P.; Nobre, J.R.; Luis, H.; Luis, L.S.; Pinho, L.G.; Albacar-Riobóo, N.; Sequeira, C.
