Foram objetivos do presente trabalho aferir e caracterizar o uso de Internet na adolescência, determinar a dependência de Internet e estabelecer a sua associação com alterações do sono e sonolência diurna excessiva.Material e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo de base comunitária, observacional e transversal dirigido a adolescentes a frequentar o sétimo e oitavo ano de escolaridade. Recorreu-se a um questionário de autopreenchimento online, para aferir características sociodemográficas, uso e dependência de Internet, características do sono e sonolência diurna excessiva.Resultados: Foram incluídos 727 adolescentes com idade média de 13 ± 0,9 anos. Três quartos dos adolescentes usa a Internet diariamente e 41% fá-lo durante três ou mais horas/dia, maioritariamente em casa. O telemóvel e o computador portátil são os principais dispositivos utilizados. Os jogos online e o uso das redes sociais são das principais atividades realizadas. A dependência de Internet foi observada em 19% dos adolescentes, associando-se ao género masculino, à utilização de redes sociais, o Twitter e Instagram, à autopercepção de problemas de sono, insónia inicial e intermédia e sonolência diurna excessiva (p < 0,05).Discussão: Os resultados reiteram o destaque que a Internet tem na rotina dos adolescentes, que priorizam o seu uso no acesso a redes sociais e jogos online, fazendo-o com dispositivos de uso individual, menos passíveis de controlo parental.Conclusão: A dependência de Internet verificada e associação com alterações do sono e sonolência diurna excessiva enfatiza a relevância desta problemática.Ordem dos Médicos2017-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/mswordimage/jpeghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/8205oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/8205Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 30 No. 7-8 (2017): July-August; 524-533Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 30 N.º 7-8 (2017): Julho-Agosto; 524-5331646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporenghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/8205https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/8205/5102https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/8205/5367https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/8205/8748https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/8205/8762https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/8205/9074https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/8205/9534Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, CarlaFerreira, HelenaVieira, Maria JoãoCosteira, MónicaBranco, LilianaDias, ÂngelaMacedo, Liliana2022-12-20T11:05:26Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/8205Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:19:33.418962Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
