Abstract(s)
O uso problemático da internet tem sido associado a diversas dificuldades emocionais, psicológicas e sociais, podendo impactar e comprometer negativamente o bem-estar e a qualidade de vida. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo geral investigar a relação entre o uso problemático da internet, a autoestima e a qualidade de sono nos jovens adultos. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, transversal e não probabilístico por conveniência, tendo sido constituída uma amostra de 165 participantes. Os critérios de inclusão incluíram ter entre 18 e 29 anos. Foi utilizado um protocolo com instrumento de autorrelato, divulgado através de uma plataforma online, e os dados foram posteriormente analisados estatisticamente com recurso ao programa SPSS. Para medir as variáveis deste estudo, foram utilizadas Escala de Uso Generalizado Problemático da Internet (EUPGI) para avaliar o uso problemático da internet, a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (RSES) para avaliar a autoestima e Escala Básica de Sintomas de Insónia e Qualidade de Sono (BaSIQS) para avaliar a qualidade de sono. Os resultados indicam que um maior uso problemático da internet está associado a menor qualidade de sono e a níveis mais baixos de autoestima. Verificaram-se correlações negativas entre a autoestima e quase todas as dimensões do uso problemático da internet, exceto na regulação do humor. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas em função do sexo, mas observou-se que participantes mais jovens tendem a apresentar níveis mais elevados de uso problemático da internet. Conclui-se que o uso problemático da internet pode afetar negativamente o sono e a autoestima dos jovens adultos, realçando-se a necessidade de estratégias preventivas que minimizem comportamentos disfuncionais.
Problematic internet use has been associated with several emotional, psychological and social difficulties, and can negatively impact and compromise wellbeing and quality of life. Thus, this study has the general objective of investigating the relationship between problematic internet use, self-esteem and sleep quality in young adults. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and non-probabilistic study for convenience, with a sample of 165 participants. Inclusion criteria included being between 18 and 29 years old. A protocol with a self-report instrument was used, disseminated through an online platform, and the data were subsequently statistically analyzed using the SPSS program. To measure the variables of this study, the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale (EUPGI) was used to assess problematic internet use, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) to assess self-esteem and the Basic Insomnia Symptom and Sleep Quality Scale (BaSIQS) to assess sleep quality. The results indicate that greater problematic Internet use is associated with lower sleep quality and lower levels of self-esteem. There were negative correlations between selfesteem and almost all dimensions of problematic Internet use, except for mood regulation. No significant differences were found according to gender, but it was observed that younger participants tended to present higher levels of problematic Internet use. It is concluded that problematic Internet use can negatively affect sleep and self-esteem in young adults, highlighting the need for preventive strategies that minimize dysfunctional behaviors.
