Abstract

Behavioural addictions such as Internet addiction (IA) and, more specifically, Internet gaming disorder (IGD) or video game addiction, have increased their prevalence in recent years in the child and adolescent population. The aim of the present study was to review and synthesise the existing evidence on the effectiveness of psychological treatments for addressing this addiction, as well as to compare them with other types of treatment. To this end, an in-depth search for systematic reviews and meta-analyses was carried out across different databases (WOS, Scopus, PubmMed, Cochrane), inclusion and exclusion criteria were set, and guidelines for the search strategy were defined, as well as the study selection method. A total of 14 reviews and meta-analyses were reviewed. The results showed that cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) was the most studied psychological treatment, consistently showing effectiveness in reducing the symptoms and severity of IA/IGD. Furthermore, CBT appeared to be more effective when combined with other types of treatment such as pharmacological treatment. It is concluded that there is a need to investigate the effectiveness of psychological treatments for IA/IGD separately in order to provide appropriate interventions to reduce the severity of addiction and improve the quality of life and well-being of children and adolescents.
网络游戏障碍的心理治疗效果如何?总括性评论
行为成瘾,如网络成瘾(IA),更具体地说,网络游戏障碍(IGD)或视频游戏成瘾,近年来在儿童和青少年人群中越来越普遍。本研究的目的是回顾和综合有关心理治疗治疗这种成瘾的有效性的现有证据,并将其与其他类型的治疗进行比较。为此,我们在不同的数据库(WOS、Scopus、PubmMed、Cochrane)中深入检索系统评价和meta分析,设置纳入和排除标准,定义检索策略指南和研究选择方法。共回顾了14篇综述和荟萃分析。结果表明,认知行为疗法(CBT)是研究最多的心理治疗方法,在减轻IA/IGD的症状和严重程度方面一直表现出有效性。此外,CBT与其他类型的治疗(如药物治疗)相结合时似乎更有效。因此,有必要对儿童青少年成瘾/IGD的心理治疗效果进行单独研究,以提供适当的干预措施,降低儿童青少年成瘾的严重程度,提高儿童青少年的生活质量和幸福感。
