Background and Purpose: Coronavirus 2019 Acute respiratory infectious disease is characterized by the main symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath. This virus has a very high transmission and lethality. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the role of Internet addiction, mindfulness and resilience in predicting students' mental health during the Coronavirus 2019 pandemic.
Method: The method of the present study is descriptive and correlational. The sample consisted of 220 seventh, eighth and ninth grade students in the second district of Rasht in the academic year 2020-2021 who participated in the study as an convenience sampling method through online calling. Data collection tools included a short form of the Mental Health Questionnaire (Keyes, 2002), an Internet Addiction Questionnaire (Young, 1998), Short form of Freiburg mindfulness inventory (Wallach et al., 2006) and the Resilience Scale (Connor & Davidson, 2003). Finally, data analysis was performed by SPSS software version 24 using Pearson correlation and multiple regression simultaneously.
Results: Based on the results, Internet addiction, mindfulness and resilience significantly predict students' mental health (p <0.01). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the effect of Internet addiction (-0.43) on students' mental health is negative and significant. In contrast, the effect of mindfulness (0.70) and resilience (0.65) on students' mental health is positive and significant. Also, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that Internet addiction, mindfulness and resilience predict 48% of students' mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion: The present study has clarified the role of Internet addiction, mindfulness and resilience in explaining the mental health of high school students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The implications of the results are discussed in this article.
