上網太久,小心成癮無法自拔。一項最新調查發現,一成一大學生每天上網超過六小時,他們較易頭痛、失眠、焦慮,還會出現不上網就煩躁不安、了無生趣的網路上癮症。
針對這個現象,教育部已擬出對策草案,除將提供學生上網時間過長的「提醒器」軟體,每學期還將篩檢有「網路沉迷傾向」的學生追蹤輔導,嚴重成癮者將安排心理師治療。
教育部訓委會常委、成大行為醫學所教授柯慧貞,抽樣調查三千八百多名大學生,發現平均每天上網超過三小時,但三分之二時間與課業或學習無關。男生上網最愛下載軟體或傳檔案,女生則最愛用MSN或ICQ聊天。
分析不同領域學生,理工學院最愛上網,平均每天上網近四小時,且上網非為學業的比率最高;住宿生的上網時間則比非住宿生多。
柯慧貞說,這項調查主要是探討上網時間、目的與成績和身心健康的相關性。調查發現,上網是為課業找資料的「資訊型」學生,上網愈久成績愈好;若上網是為了娛樂、社交,上網愈久成績愈差。
調查發現,約一成一大學生每天上網超過六小時,這些人不管是為課業或娛樂,身心狀況明顯較差,除了較易出現腰痠背痛、頭痛、失眠的生理問題,也常伴隨憂鬱、易怒、人際關係太敏感等身心症。
柯慧貞指出,少部分學生已出現網路上癮症,典型症狀是明知自己因上網而荒廢學業、健康不佳,仍無法自拔不能下線。
柯慧貞提醒學生,安裝上網時間提醒器,上網超過半小時,就適度休息、運動,最好每天不要上網超過三小時,維持正常睡眠、飲食、運動,及與人群正常互動的娛樂和人際關係。
