Abstract

Cilj preglednog rada jest pružiti sistematičan pregled literature na temu problematične upotrebe interneta te ponuditi određene intervencije koje se mogu primjenjivati u području socijalnog rada. Zadnjih 25 godina govori se o novom fenomenu povezanim s upotrebom interneta. Razlog tome je što su internet i tehnologija postali dio čovjekova života i svakodnevnog funkcioniranja, a djeca su već od najranije dobi izložena ekranima. Međutim, postavlja se pitanje što kada zdrava upotreba interneta i tehnologije postane nefunkcionalna. Iako tada možemo govoriti o problematičnoj upotrebi interneta, kada takvo korištenje interneta u životu osobe izazove poteškoće u svakodnevnom funkcioniranju i počne utjecati na njegovu psihosocijalnu dobrobit, onda to prerasta u ovisnost o internetu. Različiti autori različito definiraju ovaj fenomen te različito smatraju koje su sve vrste ovisnosti o internetu, a postoji i nekoliko modela koji ga objašnjavaju, kao što su dualni model strasti, teorija kompenzacijske upotrebe interneta i kognitivno-bihevioralni model patološke upotrebe interneta. Mnogobrojni su rizični čimbenici za razvoj ovisnosti o internetu, a u prilog tome govori i prevalencija ovog problema. S obzirom na posljedice za psihosocijalnu dobrobit, neophodno je ponuditi primjerene tretmanske pristupe, a kao glavni se navode psihološki, farmakološki i kombinirani. Od iznimne važnosti je uloga stručnjaka u ovom području, a posebno se kao bitna ističe upravo uloga socijalnog rada kroz prevenciju, identifikaciju i intervenciju, pri čemu se naglasak stavlja na metodu savjetovanja u radu s osobama rizičnima za razvoj ove vrste ovisnosti ili onima ovisnima o internetu.

Abstract (english)

The aim of the review paper is to provide a systematic review of the literature on the problematic use of the Internet and to offer certain interventions that can be applied in the field of social work. For the last 25 years, there has been talk of a new phenomenon related to the use of the Internet. The reason for this is that the Internet and technology have become part of human life and daily functioning, and children have been exposed to screens from an early age. However, the question arises as to what when healthy use of the Internet and technology becomes dysfunctional. Although then we can talk about the problematic use of the Internet, when such use of the Internet in a person's life causes difficulties in daily functioning and begins to affect his psychosocial well-being, then it grows into Internet addiction. Different authors define this phenomenon differently and consider different types of Internet addiction, and there are several models that explain it, such as the dual model of passion, the theory of compensatory Internet use and the cognitive-behavioral model of pathological Internet use. There are many risk factors for the development of Internet addiction, and the prevalence of this problem speaks in favor of this. Given the consequences for psychosocial well-being, it is necessary to offer appropriate treatment approaches, and the main ones are psychological, pharmacological and combined. The role of experts in this field is extremely important, and the role of social work through prevention, identification and intervention is particularly important, with emphasis on the method of counseling in working with people at risk for developing this type of addiction or those addicted to the Internet.
