본 연구는 인터넷 접속 환경이 유선에서 무선으로 급속히 전환되고 인터넷에 접속할 수 있는 시간과 공간의 제약이 없어지면서 인터넷 중독자 문제가 많은 사회문제를 야기하고 있는 시점에서 인터넷 중독자수 예측 및 중독자 치료 프로그램의 효과를 분석하기 위한 연구이다. 청소년을 대상으로 통계청 추정인구와 공공분문의 통계자료를 바탕으로 중독자 예측 및 회복효과 측정 프로그램을 개발하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 스마트기기의 보급의 확대의 영향으로 청소년 인터넷 중독자 수는 점차 증가하다가 청소년 인구감소의 영향으로 2016년을 기점으로 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 중독예방과 치료를 위한 예산 증가 시나리오 분석 결과 인터넷 중독 잠재적 위험과 고위험군에서 모두 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었고 중독 다음 단계로 전이 되는 것을 예방하는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 인터넷 중독 고위험 사용자의 전문치료 수준을 강화했을 경우 그 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 초등학교 5, 6학년 학생의 인터넷 중독과 학교생활 적응과의 관계를 파악하여 인터넷 사용에 대한 교육적 지도방안과 인터넷 중독 예방프로그램 개발의 기초 자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 자료는 2009년 7월 1일에서 7월 24일까지 제주특별자치도에 위치한 초등학교 6개교(동지역 4개교, 읍지역 2개교)를 무작위 추출하여 5, 6학년 학생 총 1195명을 대상으로 조사하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSSWIN(12.0 한글판) 프로그램을 이용하여 카이제곱검정, t-검정, 일원배치 분산분석, 상관분석, 다중회귀분석의 통계적 방법을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 첫째, 대상자의 인터넷 중독 정도는 고위험군 55명(5.5%), 잠재적위험군 49명 (4.9%), 정상군 900명(89.6%)으로 나타났으며, 둘째, 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 인터넷 중독 정도를 분석한 결과 성별, 형제자매 유무, 학교성적에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 셋째, 대상자의 컴퓨터 사용 특성에 따른 인터넷 중독 정도는 최초 인터넷 이용 시기, 인터넷 이용용도, 하루 인터넷 사용 시간, 부모컴퓨터 사용 여부에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 넷째, 인터넷 중독과 학교생활 적응과의 관계를 분석한 결과 학교생활 부적응인 경우는 '고위험군' 32명(58.2%), '잠재적위험군' 24명(50.0%), '정상군' 257명 (28.7%)으로 고위험군과 잠재적위험군이 정상군보다 학교생활 적응 정도가 낮은 것으로 조사되었다(p<0.01). 다섯째, 인터넷 중독에 유의한 영향을 주는 변수는 학교생활 적응 정도, 성별, 하루 인터넷 사용시간, 인터넷 이용용도, 인터넷 이용 상황, 어머니 직장 유무, 거주 지역, 부모 컴퓨터 사용여부, 최초 인터넷 이용시기이었다. 학교생활 적응 정도가 낮을 때, 남학생, 하루 인터넷 사용시간이 3시간 이상, 인터넷 이용 용도가 '게임', '스트레스가 쌓였을 때' 인터넷을 이용하는 경우, 어머니 직장이 있는 경우, 거주 지역이 동지역, 부모님이 컴퓨터를 사용할 줄 모르는 경우, 최초 인터넷 이용 시기가 취학 전인 경우가 인터넷 중독 점수가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 여섯째, 학교생활 적응에 유의한 영향을 주는 변수는 인터넷 중독 점수, 학교성적, 가정경제수준, 거주지역, 인터넷 이용용도, 학년이었다. 인터넷 중독 점수가 낮을수록, 학교성적이 높을수록, 가정경제수준이 잘 살수록, 거주지역이 동지역, 인터넷 이용용도가 '정보검색, 홈페이지관리/메신저', 5학년인 경우에 학교생활 적응을 더 잘하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면, 학교생활 적응 정도가 낮을수록 인터넷 중독 점수가 높게 나타나고 있고, 인터넷 중독 경향이 높을수록 학교생활 적응 수준이 낮게 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있다. 아동들은 하루중 대부분의 시간을 학교에서 생활하고 있기 때문에 학교생활 적응은 아동들이 건전한 성인으로 성장하는데 중요한 요인이 된다. 또한, 인터넷사용률 증가와 최초 인터넷 이용 연령층이 점점 낮아지고 있음에 따라 인터넷 중독률이 자연스럽게 점점 높아질 것으로 예측되어진다. 따라서, 가정과 학교가 연계하여 아동들의 인터넷 사용에 대한 지속적인 관심과 지도가 필요하며, 인터넷 중독경향이 높은 아동들이 학교생활 적응을 잘할 수 있도록 인터넷 중독 치료 및 예방교육 프로그램 운영이 필요하다 하겠다.
