Internet.

on 796 high school students in Rasht city, Iran who were selected using multi-stage cluster
random sampling method. Data collection tools were a demographic form, the Young’s

Internet Addiction Test, and the Family Assessment Device. Chi-Square test and rank-
ordered logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis.

members who were using the Internet; 71.2% of students had no addiction, 27.5% were
exposed to Internet addiction and 1.3% had Internet addiction. The majority (65.0%) of
studnets had unhealthy family functioning. The relationship between Internet addiction and
family functioning was statistically significant (P=0,001). There was a significant statistical
relationship between Internet addiction and family income (P= 0.003), father’s job (P=0.001),
and duartion of internet usage per day (P=0.001). Logistic regression model showed that the
family functioning score (OR=1.02, 95% CI;1.01-1.04, P=0.001), duration of Internet usage per
day (OR=1.02, 95% CI;1.11-1.20, P=0.0001), and gender (male) (OR=1.02, 95% CI; 1.26-2.58,
P=0.001) significantly affected Internet addiction.
Conclusion: Due to the direct statistical relationship between Internet addiction and family
functioning, it is necessary to pay serious attention to the phenomenon of Internet addiction
