“…EAs are also the largest consumers of online games of any age group [ 8 ]. Online games have been linked with negative health impacts on nutritional outcomes as a result of increased consumption of savoury snacks and sugar-sweetened beverages during gameplay or an increased likelihood of skipping meals [ 9 ]. An association between video games and an increased risk of a higher BMI [ 9 ], lower general health status, and higher levels of sedentary behaviour were also found [ 10 ].…”

Stress markers during video gameplay have been shown to increase the number of calories consumed, with a preference for fatty and sweet foods [ 11 ].…”

Emerging adults (EAs), defined as adults aged 18 to 25, remain a difficult group to engage in healthy behaviours (including positive dieting and eating patterns). The environmental elements that influence the health behaviours of EAs have been studied. However, the literature is mixed on how online game environments, including eSports and game streaming, can be used to positively engage EAs. In this scoping review, we identified and analysed research on online games, EAs, and dietary patterns to create a behavioural ecological map of influences that intersect with EAs through online games. In total, 75 studies were found, identifying 23 influences that intersect with EAs through their online game use. ESports organisations, eSports athletes, and content creators may be areas of future research (and intervention) as these factors could positively influence the dietary behaviours of EAs (through online games).

“…It is evident that there are many undesirable behaviors that should not be emulated by children and teenagers in the games that are played. This undesirable conduct includes actions that lead to violence, such as beating, molesting, or even killing opponents in the game (Adiningtiyas, 2017;Chan et al, 2021). The more often this harmful behavior is observed by children and teenagers, the more likely it is to be accepted as normal.…”

“…On the one hand, it must be recognized that technological developments online game has opened new possibilities in human life, especially in the world of entertainment (Gandolfi et al, 2021;Hwang et al, 2012). The online game has even become one of the major industries that bring in large economic benefits (Chan et al, 2021;Gong & Hassink, 2019). However, on the other hand, online games also have an unfavorable impact, especially for school-age children.…”

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on the quality of education in Indonesia. This study aims to describe addiction's effect on the quality of student education during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This research is a literature study with a qualitative approach. The results show that during the Covid-19 outbreak, game data usage is reported to have increased worldwide, and download volume games have reached highs record in Asia, including Indonesia. This is caused by games used to cope with the psychological stress caused by the outbreak. Traditional games that were once popular have been replaced by new games such as online video games. Stakeholders should be aware of how addiction increases to online games, especially during a pandemic, and can contribute to the risk of disruption to the quality of student learning, especially if the pandemic continues. The government must formulate alternative ways to avoid online game addiction during the Covid-19 pandemic for people, especially teenagers, which can interfere with the quality of their education.

Background and Aims Digital games are among the treatment methods for speech disorders that serve purposes other than mere entertainment. These games have been used for different speech disorders at any age. This study aims to review articles that have used digital games for rehabilitating speech disorders. Methods This study was a scoping review. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched on February 28, 2022, to access the articles on digital games used in rehabilitation of speech disorders without any date restrictions. The search strategy was as follows: (“video game [MeSH term]” OR “computer game” OR “mobile game” OR “serious game” OR gamification [MeSH term]) AND (“speech pathology” OR “speech therapy [MeSH term]” OR “speech disorder [MeSH term]” OR stuttering [MeSH term]). Original interventional and observational studies in English were included. The data were extracted from the relevant articles, including the first author's name, year of publication, country, target group, participants, mobile device/computer‐based, type of game design, language level, number of sessions, and outcome. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results Of 693 retrieved articles, 10 articles were included in this study. Digital games were used for different speech disorders such as apraxia (20%), dysarthria (10%), articulatory hypokinesia in Parkinson's disease (10%), dysphonic disorder (10%), hearing disability (10%), phonological impairment (10%), and speech disorder in autism (10%). Most of the articles (60%) used a mobile device‐based game. Phonemes (30%), words (30%), and sentences (20%) were the most frequently used language levels in designing digital games. All the reviewed articles reported the positive effect of digital games on speech and the patients' motivation in therapy. Conclusion Digital games can improve patients' speech and motivation in therapy. Although studies showed the positive impact of digital games on speech disorders, personalized speech therapy should be considered in designing these games.
