Prevalence, associated factors and functions impairment of internet gaming disorder (IGD) in children and adolescent with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Keywords:
ADHD, function impairment, internet gaming disorder, prevalenceAbstract
Objective: To examine the prevalence, associated factors, and function impairment of IGD in children and adolescents with ADHD.
Methods: A total of 455 ADHD participants aged 6 - 18 years were recruited. Game Addiction Screening Test (GAST) was utilized to screen for game addiction behavior. The final diagnosis of IGD was obtained from the diagnostic interview using DSM-5 criteria. The function impairment was evaluated using the Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale (WFIRS) - Thai version.
Results: 320 ADHD participants (70.3%) participated in this study. Of those, 70 participants (22.1%) were initially screened positive using GAST and then 25 participants (8.3%) subsequently received IGD diagnosis. The significant associated factors of IGD included time spent playing games (p < .05) and playing violent game (p < .05). ADHD participants with comorbid IGD had a higher total score of WFIRS both on child’s and parents’ questionnaires (p < .05) than those without IGD.
Conclusion: IGD is a common comorbid problem in ADHD patients and can cause more function impairment. These findings emphasize the importance of routine screening for IGD during the initial ADHD evaluation and follow-up visit to provide early appropriate interventions.
