There have been numerous Internet opportunities in all aspects of life in the last few decades, but they have been followed by modern and diverse threats, such as Internet addiction. The main purpose of this study is to identify students' experience of Internet addiction. A qualitative method was used in this study and the Grounded Theory was used for data analysis. In-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted on 25 high school students. The sample size was also based on theoretical saturation and purposive sampling and the findings were validated by outside experts in addition to the analysis and review of the codes. The findings included 55 primary concepts and 9 main themes, namely "Internet addiction as pain-creating sympathizer". The identified main themes were self-avoidance, triple disorders (physical, sexual, and mental), connection management, systematic procrastination, school system repression, de-intimation and multi-dimensional facilitator. Finally, the main themes were formulated within the framework of Strauss and Corbin's five-fold model: underlying causes, contextual factors, intervening conditions, strategies and consequences

The purpose of this study was to analyze the experience of preschool teachers about the impact of cyberspace on children's health. This study was a qualitative study based on a descriptive phenomenological approach or lived experience. The study population consisted of all preschool teachers in Tehran. Samples were selected using purposive sampling method and data saturation was obtained after seven in-depth semi-structured interviews. The text of the interviews was analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step method. The findings of this study showed 60 semantic supportive units that were divided into four sub-themes (physical health, mental health, social health, and spiritual health) and two main themes (cyberspace opportunities and damages for children's health). According to the findings of this study, it is clear that cyberspace damages for children's health are more than its opportunities.
