               Research on the Internet Usage Habits of Students of

               Vinogradska Nursing School

               Mobile devices and the Internet are part of students' everyday life and everyone uses them for
               their benefit. The Internet provides information, the availability of social networks and various
               contents. Self-control over behavior and time devoted to the virtual world is achieved if the use
               of the Internet has a clear goal and purpose. A student who spends most of his time on the
               Internet checking social networks and online content and often, instead of going out, chooses
               to stay at home living his life through social networks greatly increases the risk of developing
               addiction.
               When  talking  about  addiction,  the  first  thing  that  usually  comes  to  mind  is  addiction  to
               psychoactive  substances.  However,  addiction  can  also  develop  without  introducing
               psychoactive  or  other  chemical  substances  into  the  body.  By  using  the  Internet  for  longer
               periods of time, students become socially isolated, physically and mentally exhausted, which
               affects  family  and  social  relationships  and  school  success.  Students  who  have  difficulty
               controlling their own behavior, as well as insecure, withdrawn and lonely students, are at greater
               risk of developing an addiction to the Internet. Today, more and more teenagers and young
               people are developing an addiction to the Internet, without either them or their parents being
               aware of it, which becomes a serious problem for their successful and productive life.
               At  the Vinogradska  Nursing  School,  a  survey  was  conducted  on  Internet  addiction  among
               students in the third, fourth and fifth grades. A questionnaire based on Chen's internet addiction
               scale adapted to students was used for the research. The research results will be presented in
               the form of a poster presentation.
