Abstract

Purpose of review: This review describes the diagnoses related to problem gaming that are included in ICD-11, published by the WHO in 2022. It summarizes the recent literature on the prevalence of Gaming Disorder, its structure, antecedents and comorbidities, and explores whether the range of diagnoses currently available adequately covers the range of experiences seen with problem gaming.

Recent findings: Overall, between 3 and 6% of the population worldwide are reported to have a gaming disorder as defined by ICD-11 or DSM-5. However, most studies are constrained by methodological issues such as nonrepresentative samples and the use of brief questionnaires to determine prevalence. ICD-11 Gaming Disorder is a psychometrically sound diagnosis. There is no diagnosis that currently captures the experience of harm from gaming, where the requirements for the diagnosis of Gaming Disorder are not reached.

Summary: There is evidence in support of the proposed new entity of 'Harmful Gaming', which encompasses mental and physical harm/impairment due to a repeated pattern of gaming, but where requirements for the diagnosis of Gaming Disorder are not met. Such a diagnosis would complete the spectrum of diagnoses available for problem or unhealthy gaming, similar to those for unhealthy substance use, and would provide a framework for a public health approach to reducing the overall harm from unhealthy gaming.

问题游戏的性质和特点，重点是 ICD-11 诊断。

综述的目的：本综述介绍了世界卫生组织于2022年发布的ICD-11中与问题游戏相关的诊断。它总结了有关游戏障碍患病率、其结构、前因和并发症的最新文献，并探讨了目前可用的诊断范围是否充分涵盖了问题游戏的各种经历：总体而言，全球有 3%至 6%的人被报告患有 ICD-11 或 DSM-5 所定义的游戏障碍。然而，大多数研究都受到方法学问题的限制，如样本不具代表性以及使用简短的问卷来确定患病率。ICD-11 游戏障碍是一个心理测量学上合理的诊断。小结：有证据支持 "有害游戏 "这一新实体的提议，它包括因重复游戏模式而造成的精神和身体伤害/损害，但不符合游戏障碍的诊断要求。这种诊断将完善问题或不健康游戏的诊断范围，类似于不健康药物使用的诊断范围，并将为公共卫生方法提供一个框架，以减少不健康游戏的总体危害。
