Abstract
Objective
To establish the prevalence of pathological gambling in students to health sciences at the Cauca university.
Methods
Cross sectional descriptive research in 243 students of the health faculty, selected by two-stage proportional stratified sampling. A survey was sent through institutional emails, which consisted of sociodemographic, academic, clinical aspects and habits of cigarette and psychoactive substance consumption, in addition to the Brief Pathological Gambling Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the statistical package SPSS.25.
Results
Most of the participants were women, however the majority of those who has some relationship with the gambling were men; the prevalence was 5.8% of possible gambling addiction; 2.5% and 91.8% register some or no problems related to gambling addiction respectively. The variables cigarette consumption, psychoactive substance consumption and diagnosis of depression were statistically significant (p = 0.001; p = 0.01; p = 0.043) in relation to possible gambling addiction.
Conclusions
The prevalence results indicate that university health students are considered a population at risk for pathological gambling.
