Exploratory Study on Video Game Addiction of College Students in a Pandemic Scenario

“…University initiatives for addiction prevention programs, such as those described by Werch, Pappas, and Castellon-Vogel (1996), Zamora (2005) or Milroy et al (2015), should also specifically contemplate video games today. Precisely, our exploratory study aims to make an approach to the analysis of the problem, present both in Spain and internationally, as it is a global problem.…”

Health promotion programs in higher education: integrative review of the literature

“…Of the six PH programs, in two studies we verified evidences of collaborative practice (24)(25) ; in the HP programs, there was participation of several departments of the university (13,(19)(20) , of the entire educational community (7,19) and of partners from various social levels (7,(19)(20) .…”

“…Regarding the objectives of HP programs presented in the different studies, we have found that not all rely on a HP approach, but rather on a Public Health (PH) approach: prevention of diseases (22) , implementation of the anti-tobacco law (24) , reduction in the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs (25)(26) and use of condoms (23) , with prescriptive strategies such as workshops and lectures given by experts. It is important to note that one of the programs (27) supported the promotion of welfare on campus.…”

“…Of the six PH programs, five (23)(24)(25)(26)(27) divulged their results, some of which focused on the target subjects only (small samples), whereas others focused on the education community. One program (23) evaluated the satisfaction with the use of the female condom, as well as the advantages and obstacles identified in using it, with a group of 83 students from three campus of the University.…”

“…No references were found in relation to the efficiency of the use of this type of sexual protection, neither to the impact of this knowledge on the remaining students. In two programs (25)(26) , the interventions aimed at reducing the consumption of alcohol and other drugs in college students and in the community, through the implementation of workshops with 15 sessions each, to enhance the protective factors and reduce risk, in addition to regular health education campaigns, support groups, health fairs and individualized consultations. These interventions promoted a 74% reduction in the risk factors, a 70.3% increase in the protective factors (26) , and generated mobilization policies within the academic community, as well as greater coordination with local structures, and also, national and international research networks (25) .…”
