Instrumentos de medida del trastorno de juego en internet en adolescentes y jóvenes según criterios DSM-5: una revisión sistemática

Abstract

The inclusion of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in the DSM-5 has generated controversy over its diagnosis, and it therefore seems necessary to establish a clear cutoff point to identify when excessive gaming becomes problematic. Such identification is especially difficult in adolescents and young people, who frequently dedicate a great deal of time to online games. The goal of this systematic review was to analyze the instruments developed to assess IGD in adolescents and young people since its inclusion in the DSM-5. We identified 13 studies which included validations of seven assessment instruments for IGD in adolescents and young people. Each instrument and its validations in different languages are described. In comparison to previous reviews, a lower diversity of assessment instruments, a reduction in the number of items and a more uniform form of measurement was observed, maintaining high internal consistency and good criterion validity. However, problems related to sample selection, the lack of sensitivity and specificity studies, and the establishment of cut points and profiles of gamers remain. Advances in the analysis of the psychometric qualities of the instruments and their validation in different countries are needed, and cultural differences should be considered in order to allow the prevalence of this problem to be compared.

Spanish Validation of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short Form (IGDS9-SF): Prevalence and Relationship with Online Gambling and Quality of Life

“…The IGDS9-SF is a sound psychometric test that assesses IGD, and it is one of the most frequently used instruments as it had the greatest number of adaptations to different languages and cultural contexts [56]. In the present study, the development of the Spanish IGDS9-SF was carried out through a rigorous conceptual and methodological procedure that followed conventional international standards [71].…”

“…The APA's [21] operationalization of IGD has arguably reduced the diversity in the assessment instruments as well as the number of items contained in each of these instruments, providing more uniform measures with high internal consistency and adequate criterion validity. A systematic review [56] indicated the nine-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Sort Form (IGDS9-SF) [57] as the most reviewed and translated instrument to assess IGD based on the nine IGD criteria developed by the APA. In fact, since its publication, the IGDS9-SF has been translated into at least nine languages: Chinese [58], German [59], Czech [60], Slovenian [61], Italian [62], Persian [63], Turkish [64,65], Polish [66], European and South American Portuguese [67,68].…”

El Diagnóstico De Adicción a Videojuegos en El DSM-5 Y La Cie-11: Retos Y Oportunidades Para Clínicos

“…Entre estos test podemos destacar el Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-20 (Pontes & Griffiths, 2015) adaptado al castellano (Fuster et al, 2016), el Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-short form -9 (Pontes & Griffiths, 2015) y su adaptación española (Beranuy et al, 2020) y el Cuestionario de Experiencias Relacionadas con Videojuegos (CERV) (Chamarro et al, 2014). También se puede consultar la revisión de los instrumentos de medida para jóvenes y adolescentes según criterios DSM-5 (Bernaldo- de-Quirós et al, 2019). Pese al avance que suponen siguen siendo necesarios más estudios con población clínica (Bernaldo-de-Quirós et al, 2019).…”

“…Mientras que en el caso de los adultos los 12 meses que se requieren para el diagnóstico son útiles para distinguir un trastorno mental de un malestar transitorio, en niños y adolescentes este periodo de tiempo puede ser demasiado extenso. Sin embargo, se hace difícil establecer de forma clara y precisa lo que es un jugador social, excesivo, problemático y adictivo especialmente en adolescentes y jóvenes (Bernaldo- de-Quirós et al, 2019;Carbonell et al, 2016). Una alternativa seria recurrir a usar herramientas diagnósticas que permitan una evaluación de la gravedad con puntuaciones normalizadas, sin recurrir a criterios diagnósticos (Bernaldode-Quirós et al, 2019).…”

The effects of prolonged single night session of videogaming on sleep and declarative memory

“…The Worlds Health Organization also included Gaming Disorders in the actual version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) [9]. The measurement instruments and the consequences of Gaming Disorders are widely debated [10, 11]. Studies investigating video gaming (gaming time between 50 and 165 minutes) and sleep have shown variable effects on sleep and stress, the latter typically expressed as heart rate changes [12, 13].…”
