Resumen

Objetivos. Este estudio pretende identificar la relación entre consumo problemático de sustancias y uso de videojuegos según el género y el lugar de residencia en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios españoles. Método. La investigación fue realizada en una muestra de 490 estudiantes universitarios (M = 22.8 años; DT = 3.63). Los principales instrumentos utilizados fueron el Test de Fagerström para la Dependencia a la Nicotina (ftnd), el Cuestionario para la Identificación de Trastornos en el Uso del Alcohol (AUDIT), el Cuestionario de Experiencias Relacionadas con Videojuegos (CERV) y el Cuestionario de Hábitos de Consumo de Videojuegos (CHCV). Resultados. Los resultados muestran un consumo de tabaco y un uso de videojuegos relativamente bajo, además de un elevado consumo de alcohol. En relación al género, las mujeres casi nunca beben alcohol y juegan con videojuegos menos que los varones. El lugar de residencia de los participantes influía en sus hábitos de uso de videojuegos, pero no en el consumo de alcohol y tabaco. Asimismo, el análisis de regresión identificó que los hombres tenían una probabilidad cinco veces superior a exhibir un uso problemático de videojuegos. Conclusión. La tecnología junto con el consumo de sustancias nocivas puede causar problemas de salud que deben ser prevenidos y tratados desde los estratos educativos.
