The recent recognition of Gaming Disorder (GD) as a mental health issue has provided a unique opportunity for researchers to advance our current understanding of the intricate relationships between GD and specific health-related factors and well-being. This study sought to investigate the role of key physical and psychological health and well-being factors in GD. To achieve this, three goals were explored. First, we tested whether GD can be predicted by health and well-being factors such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, attention problems, physical health problems (PHP), and psychological well-being (PWB). Second, we assessed the role of distress tolerance (DT) as a moderator in the relationship between PWB and GD. Third, we examined whether PWB would mediate the relationship between PHP and GD. A sample of 474 participants (Mean_age = 28.86 years; SD = 9.23; range: 18–66 years; 47 percent female) were recruited. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis indicated that age, attention problems, and PHP significantly predicted GD (R² = 0.15). In addition, the mediation findings uncovered an important direct association between PHP and GD despite the lack of mediation effects through PWB and the absence of moderating effects from DT. The present findings signify important health-related implications related to GD that are further discussed here in terms diagnosis, treatment, and prevention efforts.

调查健康因素和心理健康在游戏障碍中的作用

最近将游戏障碍 (GD) 视为一种心理健康问题，这为研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，以促进我们目前对 GD 与特定健康相关因素和幸福感之间复杂关系的理解。本研究旨在调查关键的身心健康和幸福因素在 GD 中的作用。为了实现这一目标，我们探索了三个目标。首先，我们测试了是否可以通过抑郁、焦虑、孤独、注意力问题、身体健康问题 (PHP) 和心理健康 (PWB) 等健康和幸福因素来预测 GD。其次，我们评估了痛苦容忍度（DT）在 PWB 和 GD 之间的关系中作为调节剂的作用。第三，我们检查了 PWB 是否会调解 PHP 和 GD 之间的关系。474 名参与者的样本（平均_年龄 = 28.86 岁；标准 差 = 9.23；范围：18-66岁；47% 的女性）被招募。多元线性回归分析结果表明，年龄、注意力问题和 PHP 显着预测 GD（R ²  = 0.15）。此外，中介结果揭示了 PHP 和 GD 之间的重要直接关联，尽管 PWB 缺乏中介效应，DT 也没有调节效应。目前的研究结果表明与 GD 相关的重要健康相关影响，此处将在诊断、治疗和预防工作方面进一步讨论。
