KARAKTERISTIKE UPOTREBE INTERNETA KAO SREDSTVA PERCIPIRANE REDUKCIJE STRESA KOD STUDENATA MEDICINSKIH NAUKA
Sažetak
U najvećem broju studija o upotrebi medija navodi se da ljudi uglavnom koriste medije radi zadovoljenja instrumentalnih, emocionalnih i socijalnih potreba. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se identifikuju specifične karakteristike upotrebe interneta u populaciji studenata medicinskih nauka koji koriste internet kao sredstvo za redukciju stresa.
Uzorak je činio 231 student (34% muškog i 66% ženskog pola), prosečne starosti AS=22,44; SD=2,090. Ispitanici su svrstani u dve grupe na osnovu toga da li svesno koriste internet za ublažavanje posledica stresnih doživljaja ili ne.
Nalazi pokazuju da osobe koje navode internet kao sredstvo redukcije stresa provode značajno više vremena onlajn od ostalih korisnika interneta, češće prate sadržaje vezane za zabavu, kulturu i seks, a takođe, više koriste socijalne aplikacije i socijalne mreže. Za razliku od ostalih, ovi ispitanici se češće odlučuju za upoznavanje novih ljudi i potencijalnih partnera preko interneta, provode više vremena na profilima prijatelja, a više koriste i različite zabavne aplikacije, najčešće igrice.
Internet može imati značajnu ulogu u redukciji negativnih reakcija na stresne događaje, tako da sajberprostor možemo posmatrati kao pogodno tlo za veću aktivnost edukativnih, preventivnih i savetodavnih službi.
Glavno ograničenje ove studije je specifičnost uzorka (samo studenti medicinskih nauka). U narednim studijama nivo stresa bi trebalo i formalno meriti.
