Resumo

Introdução: O Internet Addiction Test é um instrumento psicométrico desenvolvido para avaliar e quantificar a gravidade da dependência de Internet e explorar aspectos do uso indevido da Internet. Objetivo: Confirmar a validade fatorial do Internet Addiction Test em uma amostra de estudantes universitários. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo metodológico com 5.292 estudantes universitários brasileiros, submetidos à análise fatorial confirmatória. Resultados: Os resultados do teste Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (0,946) indicaram que a amostra era adequada. A análise fatorial confirmou a existência de fatores que não se alinhavam totalmente com a escala americana original. O modelo apresentou índices de ajuste satisfatórios, incluindo um Índice de Ajuste Comparativo de 0,978, Índice de Tucker-Lewis de 0,976, Raiz Média Residual Padronizada de 0,053 e Raiz Média Quadrática de Erro de Aproximação de 0,054 [0,052–0,056], que são consistentes com os critérios de ajuste satisfatórios previamente estabelecidos. As cargas fatoriais dos itens foram consideradas altas, variando de 0,43 (item I7) a 0,89 (item I17). Discussão: O modelo teórico do Internet Addiction Test foi validado em termos da composição de seis fatores, que é idêntico ao proposto pela versão americana original e é consistente com outros estudos que também identificaram a mesma estrutura multifatorial do instrumento original. Portanto, enfermeiros psiquiátricos podem usá-lo com confiança ao cuidar de jovens estudantes universitários. Conclusão: O Internet Addiction Test foi considerado um instrumento válido e confiável para medir o vício em Internet em estudantes universitários e pode ser utilizado por enfermeiros de saúde mental para identificar tais problemas.
