“…Therefore, it was surprising that our results did not show a correlation between PUVG and neuroticism, especially given that previous studies indicated that the use of video games acts as an avoidance or escape strategy in these individuals when facing stressful daily situations and exhaustion derived from emotional instability itself [ 44 ]. Previous publications showed that addressing the anxiety-depressive symptoms included in the emotional stability dimension is beneficial for the maintenance of substance abstinence [ 45 ].…”

Dual Diagnosis in Adolescents with Problematic Use of Video Games: Beyond Substances

The technological revolution has led to the birth of new diagnoses, such as gaming disorder. When any addiction, including this one, is associated with other mental disorders, it is considered a dual diagnosis. The objectives of this current work were to estimate the prevalence of dual diagnoses in the adolescent general population while also considering the problematic use of video games and substance addiction and assessing its psychosocial risk factors. Thus, we carried out a cross-sectional study with a sample of 397 adolescents; 16.4% presented problematic videogame use and 3% presented a dual diagnosis. Male gender increased the probability of both a dual diagnosis (OR [95% CI] = 7.119 [1.132, 44.785]; p = 0.036) and problematic video game use (OR [95% CI] = 9.85 [4.08, 23.77]; p < 0.001). Regarding personality, low conscientiousness, openness, and agreeableness scores were predictors of a dual diagnosis and problematic videogame use, while emotional stability predicted a dual diagnosis (OR [95% CI] = 1.116 [1.030, 1.209]; p = 0.008). Regarding family dynamics, low affection and communication increased both the probability of a dual diagnosis (OR [95% CI] = 0.927 [0.891, 0.965]; p < 0.001) and problematic video game use (OR [95% CI] = 0.968 [0.945, 0.992]; p = 0.009). Regarding academic performance, bad school grades increased the probability of a dual diagnosis. In summary, male gender, certain personality traits, poor communication, and poor affective family dynamics should be interpreted as red flags that indicate an increased risk of a dual diagnosis in adolescents, which could require early intervention through specific detection programs.

“…However, existing literature has documented conflicting outcomes among foreign‐born people beginning SUD treatment. For example, in a multiple logistic regression analysis corrected for treatment utilization, being a first‐ or second‐generation immigrant was associated with lower odds of abstinence as well as higher levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms at baseline (van Hagen et al, 2019) suggesting a loss of protective factor when navigating the disease of addiction. Other implicated factors following treatment adherence may include difficulty navigating host country healthcare systems and falling out of care continuums due to legal, financial, or social concerns.…”

Purpose To summarize recent evidence of the relationship between acculturation and substance use addiction among foreign‐born persons living in the United States (U.S.) and abroad. Recent findings Foreign‐born populations are increasing in many countries as a result of immigration and global refugee displacement. Acculturation and discrimination toward both populations have been related to the initiation of illicit substance use. The “immigrant paradox” may serve as a protective factor against the initiation and worsening prognosis of substance use disorders. Improving multilingual accessibility and frequency of use of clinical screeners may enhance addiction risk factor identification and potential interventions for foreign‐born populations living in countries of emigration, such as the U.S. Summary Foreign‐born persons compose a significant proportion of nurse–patient interactions in the U.S. and abroad. The unique sociological phenomenon of the immigrant paradox may serve as a protective factor for foreign‐born persons despite the increased risk for adverse childhood events, acculturation, and discrimination. Due to conflicting evidence, future studies should examine longitudinal outcomes of substance use exclusively among foreign‐born persons as well as protective and risk factors associated with immigrants and refugees, respectively. Clinical relevance Foreign‐born persons may experience unique risk factors associated with addiction. Future studies should focus on foreign‐born populations to explore if social constructs surrounding addiction can be extrapolated into other populations, including their second‐generation offspring. Differences surrounding migration contexts between immigrants and refugees may be important for clinical researchers to understand when designing research studies centered on these experiences. Nurses can play a significant role in identifying patients at risk for substance use by advocating for inclusive and comprehensive multilingual screeners.
