Amaç: İnternet hayatın vazgeçilmez bir parçası hâline gelmiştir ve pek çok sağlık sorununa neden olmaktadır. Bu araştırma, erken adölesan dönemde çocukların internet kullanım alışkanlıkları ve psikososyal sağlık durumlarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel tasarım ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini Ankara Yenimahalle Hacı Mustafa Tarman Ortaokulu'nda öğrenim gören 6. ve 7. sınıf öğrencileri oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın örneklemine 260 öğrenci dâhil edilmiştir. Veriler anket formu, İnternet Kullanma Alışkanlıkları (İKA) ölçeği, Psikososyal ve Davranış Sorunları Kontrol Listesi (PDS-17) ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde sayı, yüzde, medyan, minimum, maksimum, Mann-Whitney U, KruskalWallis ve 'post hoc' Tamhane T2 testi ve Spearman korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Analizlerde anlamlılık seviyesi 0,05 kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin, yaş ortalamasının 12,66±0,62, 128 (%49,2)'inin erkek olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin 150 (%57,7)'sinin günde ≤2 saat internet kullandığı, 145 (%55,6)'inin tek oturuşta 15-45 dk internet kullandığı belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin İKA ölçeği medyan değeri 78,00 (19- 142), PDS-17 kontrol listesi medyan değeri 7,00 (0-34)'dir. Öğrencilerin 49 (%18,8)'unda psikososyal problem riski olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin, internet kullanım alışkanlıkları ile psikososyal sorun riski arasında orta düzeyde negatif yönde anlamlı doğrusal bir ilişki saptanmıştır (r= -0,319, p=0,001). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin, internet kullanım alışkanlıklarının yüksek olduğu ve yaklaşık her 5 öğrenciden birinde psikososyal problem riski olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin, internet kullanım alışkanlığı azaldıkça psikososyal sorun riskinin azaldığı bulunmuştur.
