Métodos: Se realizó una revisión integrativa de la literatura, utilizando las siguientes bases de datos: PUBMED y BVS y los siguientes descriptores “Uso problemático de Internet” Y “Salud mental” “Niños” Y “Adolescentes” NO “COVID-19”. Al final se seleccionaron 19 artículos para el trabajo con la ayuda de la plataforma Rayyan. Los criterios de inclusión utilizados fueron: artículos publicados en los últimos 5 años, escritos en portugués, inglés y español, publicados en revistas científicas. Resultados: La UPI se relaciona con síntomas de baja autoestima, estrés diario, mala calidad de vida y sueño en niños y adolescentes. Consideraciones finales: Al analizar los artículos, fue posible ver los impactos negativos del UPI en la vida de niños y adolescentes. Por ello, se deben tomar medidas preventivas tanto en los hogares como en las escuelas, para que UPI no cause mayores daños.
