Purpose:
We aimed to investigate the prevalence of Internet addiction (IA) and explore its related factors among undergraduates during widespread online learning in China.
Design And Methods:
The online survey was conducted in April 2020. The Young diagnostic questionnaire and academic burnout scale were respectively used to measure IA and academic burnout.
Findings:
A total of 28.4% of 7562 participants developed IA, which correlated with academic burnout. Additionally, positive attitude and practice towards COVID-19 and exercise were protective factors of it.
Practice Implications:
IA was associated with academic burnout, and better cognition of COVID-19 and positive lifestyles might reduce its risk.
