Background and Objectives Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is associated with health, social, and academic problems but whether these are consequences of the disorder rather than precursors or correlates is unclear. We aimed to evaluate whether IGD in the 1st year of university predicts health, academic and social problems 1 year later, controlling for baseline health, academic and social problems, demographics, and mental health symptoms. Methods In a prospective cohort study, 1741 university students completed both a baseline online survey in their 1st year and a follow‐up survey 1 year later. Log‐binomial models examined the strength of prospective associations between baseline predictor variables (IGD, baseline health, academic and social problems, sex, age, and mental health symptoms) and occurrence of health, academic and social problems at follow‐up. Results When extensively adjusted by the corresponding outcome at baseline, any mental disorder symptoms, sex, and age, baseline IGD was associated only with severe school impairment and poor social life (risk ratio [RR] = 1.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.14–2.75, p = .011; RR = 1.22; 95% CI = 1.07–1.38, p = .002, respectively). Conclusions and Scientific Significance University authorities and counselors should consider that incoming 1st‐year students that meet criteria for IGD are likely to have increased academic and social impairments during their 1st year for which they may want to intervene. This study adds to the existing literature by longitudinally examining a greater array of negative outcomes of IGD than previously documented.
El presente artículo investigativo con enfoque cualitativo tiene como propósito analizar desde las narrativas las prácticas pedagógicas de los maestros que forman parte del Modelo Escuela Activa Urbana (EAU). Establece como unidades de análisis intencionalmente a 10 maestros llamados enlaces, los cuales pertenecen a instituciones públicas de la ciudad de Manizales, Colombia. La selección intencionada estuvo orientada por su experiencia con el modelo educativo estudiado y su trayectoria en el campo pedagógico. La recolección de la información que sustenta el estudio se obtuvo mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas, y la sistematización y triangulación de información se hizo con el programa Atlas.ti, donde se realizó la operacionalización de categorías que permiten la comprensión del fenómeno estudiado, así como la identificación de tendencias convergentes y divergente en las prácticas pedagógicas con respecto al modelo EAU y, posteriormente, a través de la interpretación, se realizó el análisis específico de los resultados. Los hallazgos y recomendaciones son estructuras narradas por los maestros, lo cual hace de este artículo un proceso de construcción colaborativa.
Due to the number of deaths by suicide, it’s classified as a public health problem, and it is a multifactorial and dynamic problem, influenced by biological, psychological, social, cultural, and environmental factors. The study aimed to identify risk factors based on the proposal of the biopsychosocial model of suicide risk of Turecki by applying the psychological autopsy in three suicide cases in young people. Debido al número de muertes por suicidio se le ha clasificado como un problema de salud pública, es una problemática multifactorial y dinámica, influenciada por factores biológicos, psicológicos, sociales,culturales y ambientales.
We seek to evaluate whether Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) among university students in Mexico during their first year at university predicts a long list of mental disorders a year later, controlling for baseline mental health disorders as well as demographics. This is a prospective cohort study with a one-year follow-up period conducted during the 2018–2019 academic year and followed up during the 2019–2020 academic year at six Mexican universities. Participants were first-year university students (n = 1741) who reported symptoms compatible with an IGD diagnosis at entry (baseline). Outcomes are seven mental disorders (mania, hypomania, and major depressive episodes; generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder; alcohol use disorder and drug use disorder), and three groups of mental disorders (mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders) at the end of the one-year follow-up. Fully adjusted models, that included baseline controls for groups of mental disorders, rendered all associations null. The association between baseline IGD and all disorders and groups of disorders at follow-up was close to one, suggesting a lack of longitudinal impact of IGD on mental disorders. Conflicting results from available longitudinal studies on the role of IGD in the development of mental disorders warrant further research.
