Relación Entre las Autolesiones No Suicidas y el Trastorno por Uso de Videojuegos en Adolescentes: Una Revisión Sistemática

This systematic review examines the relationship between Internet Gaming Disorder (igd) and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury(nssi) in adolescents. Studies were selected based on criteria addressing igd and nssi in adolescents (age 9-18). Asystematic search was conducted across multiple databases (e.g., Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed) from September2023 to May 2024, including English and Spanish sources. The risk of bias was assessed using nhlbi’s quality tools forobservational and case-control studies. Five studies, involving 19 588 adolescents, were included. All studies were from East Asia. Findings indicate a positive association between igd and nssi, with gender differences: females had higher nssi prevalence, while males had greater igd frequency. Most studies were of fair or good quality. This review underscores the need for longitudinal studies and standardized assessments to better understand the igd-nssi relationship and guide future mental health interventions.
