The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of digital textbook use for potential risk group of internet addiction and average group. For this, I selected two samples. One was a group to use digital textbook at school, the other was a group not to use that. Then each potential risk group of internet addiction were sort out in two groups by a test of internet addiction. I firstly compared a average user group and a potential risk group of internet addiction in group to use digital textbook. Also, I too did that in group not to use digital textbook. Then I analyzed the relevance of using digital textbook and internet addiction. As a result, I found that using digital textbook have not the relevance with internet addiction. But in this paper, I proposed a way to teach ICT ethical training before students use the digital textbook, because most of potential risk students of internet addiction tend to think they was influenced by digital textbook.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of forest therapy on neuro-cognitive, psychosocial, and physiological aspect of adolescent internet addiction risk group. We have classified potential and high risk user group as internet addiction risk group according to the criteria of Korean Internet Addiction Proneness Scale(K Scale). Based on the results of k-scale from the adolescents in metropolitan area from May to July 2013, 25 people were selected as Internet addiction risk group. We have randomized 13 participants joining forest therapy camp and 12 participants not joining one, and analyzed the change of the two groups with Continuous Performance, Kimberly S. Young, Connor-Davidson Resilience, Relationship Change Scale, heart rate variability and cortisol. Statistically significant changes were observedd in neuro-cognitive, psychosocial, and physiological variables, Through this study, we can consider that the therapy healing may relieve the level of internet addiction and can be an alternative to control emotional stability and impulsive behavior.

This study examined the relationship among smartphone addiction, life stress, and family communication in nursing students. A total of 172 subjects participated in this study and the data were collected using the structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using an independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression using the SPSS WIN 19.0 program. Overall, the level of stress was high, time of family communication was short, and smartphone addiction rate was high in nursing students. The high risk group of smartphone addiction was 14.0%, potential risk group was 29.0%, and normal group was 57.0%. In the risk group, the life stress was higher (t=3.15, p=.002) and family communication was not better (t=-2.53, p=.012) than the normal group. Smartphone addiction correlated significantly with life stress (r=.27, p<.001) and family communication (r=-.26, p=.001). The factors affecting smartphone addiction were smartphone usage time, life stress, importance of smartphones in their lives, and family communication, and the explanatory power was 31.3%. Based on these results, it is necessary to develop personalized and collective customized intervention programs focused on smartphone using method, life stress management, and family communication for the prevention and management of smartphone addiction of nursing students.

The analysis was conducted for studying the degree of internet addiction and the difference between addicted group and non-addicted group based on usage time. The target group is consisted of 30 people who receive the training at home. The purpose of this training is to reduce digital divide for the disabled with reduced mobility. As a result, the typical user group, less than the 31-point appeared as 4 cases, the potentially dangerous user I group, from 31 to 54 points appeared as 25 cases, the potentially dangerous user II group, from the 54-67 points appeared as only one person. However, there was no game addiction case, more than 67 points. In addition, there was no significant difference in impulsivity and aggression between the high-risk group of 9 persons using internet more than 2.7 hours and the typical user group of 21 persons with less risk. From the result, there are two possibilities. On the one hand, an increase of the usage time for the disabled might not lead to addiction. Or, on the other hand, a measure of addiction for non-disabled might not suitable for the disabled addiction examination.

Society and science digital textbooks were developed in 2014. That have been using in some elementary and middle school. But some people worry about the internet addiction of student accelerated by using digital textbook. However I didn't agree that, because studies about that had not been performed enough. So I analyzed effect of internet addiction by using digital textbook. As a result, Internet addicted students at class to be not using digital textbook are twice as many as Internet addicted students at class to be using digital textbook. But the difference between two groups do not means according to cross analysis. Therefore, I can't conclude that using digital textbook have an adverse effect on internet addiction.

In this study, I attempt to analyze the current status of teenagers' Internet addiction using an evaluation tool developed for students, and to compare elementary students' Internet addiction level with secondary students. Also I analyze factors affecting Internet addiction. For the analysis, 18 variables are selected from the areas such as demographic background, the experience of Internet use, family-related traits and social activities. A survey was conducted to 1,155 elementary students and 1,822 secondary students selected from nationwide schools. The main finding of this study is that among the elementary students 5.0% of the sample students are in the stage of serious addiction, and 19.7% in the stage of early addiction. In addition, the level of elementary students' Internet addiction is significantly higher than the level of secondary students.

This study was conducted to investigate the factors affecting smartphone addiction of university students and to provide the data for developing intervention program of smartphone addiction prevention. The data were collected from 354 university students and analyzed with t-test and multiple regression by using SPSS 18.0 program. The smartphone addiction rate was 27.4%, which the high risk group rate was 6.2% and potential risk group rate was 21.2%. The significant factors of smartphone addiction were gender(${\beta}=0.149$, p<.001), average daily using time in week(${\beta}=0.292$, p=.001), average daily using time in weekend(${\beta}=0.390$, p<.001), wrist pain in using smartphone(${\beta}=0.148$, p<.001), accident in using smartphone(${\beta}=0.133$, p=.002), sociality(${\beta}=-0.099$, p=.029), impulsiveness(${\beta}=0.211$, p<.001), SNS addiction(${\beta}=0.376$, p<.001). And these factors explained 43.3% of the variance in smartphone addiction. In conclusion, the results from this study indicated a need to develop the intervention program to prevent smartphone addiction considering these factors affecting smartphone addiction.
