A Study Of CERQ And Depression In Hospitalized Adolescents Of IAD

Objective: Adolescents ’ Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) has become a problembeing universally concerned by the full society. Some studies find that adolescents withinternet addict disorder have obvious depression disorder. In this paper, we firstconsider the co-morbidity of IAD and depression disorder. Then we compare the levelsof depression and cognitive emotion regulation (CERQ) between IAD and non-IAD. Atlast，We explore the relationship of depression and CERQ in IAD adolescents.Methods: The IAD group was recruited from total courtyard of Beijing militaryregion, the non-IAD group were recruited from a common middle school in Beijing.The studied group was diagnosed by using the diagnostic criteria for internet addiction(Tao R) and DSM-Ⅳ-TR. The SDS and CERQ scales were adopted to measure thelevels of depression and cognitive emotion regulation of IAD and non-IAD.Results:1．The co-morbidity rate of IAD and depression disorder is27.2%.2．IAD group showed a higher SDS total score than non-IAD group（P<0.01）.Without depression disorder in IAD showed a higher SDS total score thannon-IAD group（P<0.01）.3．IAD group showed lower scores in acceptance,planning, putting intoperspective （P<0.05，P<0.05， P<0.01）and higher other-blame scores than non-IADgroup（P<0.01）.Without depression disorder in IAD group showed lower scores inacceptance,planning （P<0.05，P<0.05）and higher other-blame score than non-IADgroup（P<0.01）.Without depression disorder in IAD group showed higher planningscores than with depression disorder in IAD group.4．Correlation analysis showed that the levels of depression in IAD had positivecorrelation with Catastrophizing（r=.391，P<0.01）and had negative correlation withpositive Reappraisal（r=-0.357，p<0.01）,planning（r=-0.313，P<0.05）. Conclusions: This study found the co-morbidity of IAD and depressiondisorder.Compared to non-IAD, IAD adolescents have higher levels of depression, theyare most likely to adopt other-blame, and less use acceptance,planning, putting intoperspective. This way of CERQ of adolescents ’ IAD has some relationship to their highlevels of depression.
