Resumen

La difusión de los videojuegos ha aumentado exponencialmente en los últimos años. Un porcentaje de jugadores puede hacer un uso perjudicial con características de adicción. Se llevó a cabo una revisión de referencias bibliográficas (2009-2015) y su análisis. La mayor parte de los estudios se centran en población infantojuvenil, faltando datos recientes de población española. No existe una definición clínica consensuada de la adicción a videojuegos, aunque sí se han desarrollado instrumentos para detectar el uso perjudicial. Jugar a videojuegos tiene implicaciones neurobiológicas y psicosociales beneficiosas y perjudiciales. Un mal funcionamiento psicosocial parece el factor fundamental para el desarrollo de patrón adictivo de uso, que también se ha relacionado con el sexo masculino, juego online, tiempo de juego y factores sociofamiliares. Los resultados indican que a nivel preventivo es necesario concienciar a la población del riesgo de jugar a videojuegos de manera descontrolada. Asimismo, a nivel de intervención, es preciso saber detectar y abordar el uso perjudicial.
