“…Based on previous research, cutoff points of IGD 4 16 and IGD 4 21 were adopted to identify moderate and high risk for IGD. 9 Additional psychometric tests utilized included the Brazilian versions of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), 10 the Mini-Social Phobia Inventory (Mini-SPIN), 11 the Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20), 12 the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-BR), 13 the 21-item Brazilian version of the Game Addiction Scale (GAS), 6 and the suicidal ideation question (item 17) of the SRQ-20. Additional questions were designed to collect data on sociodemographic characteristics, gaming behavior, and perceived academic performance.…”

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of internet gaming disorder (IGD) and associated risk factors in a sample of secondary and postsecondary students from a public federal institution of higher education (Instituto Federal de Educac¸ã o, Ciê ncia e Tecnologia) in Southern Brazil. Methods: The study included a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-BR), the Mini-Social Phobia Inventory (Mini-SPIN), and the Game Addiction Scale (GAS). Finally, IGD was measured with the Brazilian version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short-Form (IGDS9-SF), which has been psychometrically validated in this population. Results: Overall, 38.2% (n=212) of the sample exhibited IGD symptoms, with 18.2% (n=101) being classed as at-risk gamers. Regression analysis found IGD to be associated with male gender, severe depressive symptoms, poor sleep quality, increased time spent gaming, and total free time spent gaming (p o 0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of IGD in this sample was relatively high, and associated risk factors found were similar to those previously reported in the literature. Further studies investigating the epidemiology of IGD in Brazilian samples are warranted to better understand treatment needs and inform preventive measures in this population.

“…Segundo Souza et al (2016), o Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM-5) menciona um novo transtorno, chamado Transtorno do Jogo pela Internet, que se assemelha ao transtorno do jogo patológico, no qual a área da Psicologia tem se pautado para analisar os sintomas da dependência por jogos eletrônicos e decidir pelo tratamento. De acordo com Lemos, Conti e Sougey (2015), o DSM-5 propõe os seguintes critérios diagnósticos para o Transtorno do Jogo pela Internet: 1. Preocupação com jogos eletrônicos, tornando-se a atividade dominante na vida diária; 2.…”

Os videogames ganharam destaque desde os anos 1970 e com a popularização da internet, originaram-se diversos relatos de que jovens vêm exagerando nos jogos fazendo com que em muitas vezes o uso deixe de ser recreativo. Esta pesquisa objetiva investigar, por meio da literatura, quando o uso de jogos eletrônicos é caracterizado como uma atividade recreativa e quando começa a ser considerado uma dependência. Foi realizada uma revisão na literatura na qual foram selecionados artigos científicos relacionados ao tema. Os resultados apontam que os jogos eletrônicos são a atividade de lazer mais praticada pelos adolescentes e por proporcionar um ambiente seguro e controlado permitem uma fuga da realidade para evitação dos problemas sociais. Concluindo, o uso abusivo dos jogos eletrônicos está associado a diversas comorbidades, interferindo de forma significativa na vida social, familiar, acadêmica e afetiva do sujeito, sendo que os adolescentes são os mais vulneráveis a desenvolver uma dependência.

“…However, few instruments are currently available for the screening and assessment of cases. 14 Examples include the Problem Video Game Playing (PVP) 15 questionnaire, the contents of which do not directly correspond to the current diagnostic criteria of the DSM-5, the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale, 16 and the Game Addiction Scale (GAS), 17 , 18 which includes a relatively large number of items to be used as a screening instrument.…”

Introduction: The Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS9-SF) assesses the severity, harmful effects and/or consequences of excessive online and offline gaming. Its conciseness and theoretical foundations on current diagnostic criteria of gaming disorders make it a useful resource for clinical and screening settings. Objective: To describe the process of cross-cultural adaptation of the IGDS9-SF to the Brazilian context. Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation involved the steps of independent translation of the instrument, synthesis version, back-translation, pre-test and elaboration of the final version. Content validity assessment was conducted by a multidisciplinary committee of experts and consisted of both a quantitative analysis (calculation of content validity coefficients-CVC) and a qualitative analysis (assessment of the experts' comments and suggestions). The pre-test sample consisted of 30 gamers with variable sociodemographic characteristics. Results: The cross-cultural adaptation of the scale followed the proposed protocol, and the CVC was satisfactory (≥ 0.83) for all the structures and equivalences assessed. Most of the suggestions made by the experts were accepted (mainly adjustments and language standardization). The gamers who participated in the pre-test judged the scale easy to understand and did not suggest changes. Discussion: The Brazilian version of the IGDS9-SF showed adequate content validity and is available for researchers and clinicians, as well as for the investigation of additional psychometric characteristics.
