Data were collected from 502 college students in G city, from November 5 to November 30, 2012 and analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Internet addiction was a significantly positive correlation between adult children propensity(r=.395, p<.001) and mental health(r=.479, p<.001). Adult children propensity was a significantly positive correlation with mental health(r=.432, p<.001). Also, General characteristics, internet addiction and adult children propensity accounted for 42% of the variance in mental health among college students. The implication of the results is need to consider adult children propensity to reduce internet addiction and improve mental health in college students.

본 연구는 대학생들의 인터넷중독과 성인아이 성향, 정신건강과의 관계를 파악하기 위해 시행하였다. 자료수집은 2012년 11월 5일부터 11월 30일까지 G시에 있는 502명의 대학생들에게 실시하였고, SPSS/WIN 18.0을 이용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 인터넷중독은 성인아이 성향(r=.395, p<.001)과 정신건강((r=.479, p<.001)에서 모두 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타냈고, 성인아이 성향은 정신건강(r=.432, p<.001)과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 또한 일반적 특성, 인터넷중독과 성인아이 성향은 대학생들의 정신건강에 대해 42%의 설명력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 대학생들의 인터넷중독을 감소시키고 정신건강을 향상시키기 위해서는 성인아이 성향을 함께 고려한 간호중재 프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있다.
