Abstract(s)
A internet tornou-se uma ferramenta crucial para a sociedade. Ao mesmo tempo que
temos presenciado uma discussão crescente sobre o uso problemático da internet. Um uso
que acarreta diversos riscos a nível funcional e relacional do indivíduo. No entanto, não
são claras ainda as repercussões que este uso tem na qualidade de sono e no bem-estar
(psicológico e subjetivo) dos indivíduos. Considerando a escassez de estudos sobre a
relação entre a qualidade de sono e o uso da internet e o bem-estar em jovens adultos, o
presente estudo tem como grande objetivo explorar esta. A amostra deste estudo foi
constituída por 320 participantes com idades compreendidas entre 18 e os 25 anos. Os
participantes deste estudo preencheram um inquérito online, onde estava inserido o
questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de Uso Generalizado Problemático da Internet
(EUGPI), Escala Básica de Sintomas de Insónia e Qualidade de Sono (BaSIQS), a escala
do Bem-estar Psicológico (EBEP-42) e, por fim, a escala de Satisfação com a Vida (PWI).
Os resultados consistem na existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre
o uso problemático de internet, qualidade de sono e bem-estar. Encontram-se também
reações estatisticamente significativas entre as variáveis em função do sexo e idade.
Por fim, espera-se que este estudo ajude a uma melhor compreensão deste fenómeno
cruzando construtos que carecem de investigação.
Internet has become a crucial tool to society. Nowadays, we have witnessed increasing discussion regarding the problematic use of the internet. This miuse carries several risks to the individual at both a functional and relational level. However, the repercussions that this use has on the sleep quality and well-being (psychological and subjective) of the individuals is not yet clear. Considering the scarcity of studies between sleep quality, internet use and well-being in young adults, the present study aims to explore this problematic. The sample in this study was constituted by 320 participants with ages between 18 and 25 years. The participants in this study filled an online inquiry, containing a socio-demographic questionnaire, the scale of generalized problematic use of the internet (EUGIP), Basic scale of insomnia symptoms and sleep quality (BaSIOS), the scale of Psychological well-fare (EBEP) and finally, the scale of life satisfaction (PWI). The results showed statistically significant differences between the problematic use of internet, sleep quality and well-being. Additionally, statistically significant relations between the variables in function of sex and age were also found. Ultimately, it is expected that this study helps to better understand this phenomenon crossing construct that lack investigation.
