Resumo(s)
A Perturbação de Jogo e a Perturbação de Jogo pela
Internet são as únicas perturbações aditivas comportamentais reconhecidas até ao momento, cujos
avanços na investigação são resultado da preocupação crescente da comunidade científica para
o impacto destas problemáticas na saúde pública
mundialmente. Desse modo, o principal objetivo
deste estudo foi caracterizar, através de medidas
quantitativas, duas amostras clínicas de jogadores portugueses do Instituto de Apoio ao Jogador,
face às suas características sociodemográficas
e a outras dimensões psicológicas (distress psicológico, impulsividade, traços de personalidade
e qualidade de vida). As duas amostras desta investigação são de conveniência, uma constituída por
125 jogadores a dinheiro (gamblers), com idades
entre os 16 e os 70 anos, e outra por 19 jogadores
de videojogos (gamers), todos do sexo masculino,
com idades entre os 13 e os 31 anos. Verificou‑se
que ambas as amostras apresentaram valores dentro da normalidade quanto à qualidade de vida (à
exceção da dimensão Psicológica) e ao distress psicológico (à exceção do Psicoticismo) comparativamente à média da população geral portuguesa.
Em relação aos resultados obtidos na impulsividade,
estes variaram consoante o sexo e a dimensão de
impulsividade avaliada pelo BIS‑11. Relativamente
às dimensões de personalidade medidas através do
EPQ‑R, os valores obtidos estão acima da média da
população geral, nas duas amostras. As hipóteses
levantadas, relativamente às dimensões psicológicas avaliadas, foram parcialmente suportadas. Este
estudo permite compreender o perfil destes dois
tipos de jogadores num contexto clínico, o que tem
implicações para o desenvolvimento de planos de
prevenção e intervenção mais eficazes.
The Gambling Disorder and the Internet Gaming Disorder are the only behavioral addictive disorders identified until this moment, of which the progresses on investigation are a result of the growing concern by the scientific community for the impact of these problematics on health care worldwide. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to describe and characterize, through quantitative measures, two Portuguese clinical samples from Instituto de Apoio ao Jogador (IAJ), according to their sociodemographic features and other psychological dimensions (psychological distress, impulsivity, personality traits and quality of life). Taking this goal into account, both are convenience samples, one composed by 125 gamblers with ages between 16 and 70 years old, in which 4 participants identified themselves as females and another one by 19 male gamers with a mean age of 24 years old. It was verified that the two samples present normal values of quality of life (except Psychological dimension), psychological distress (except Psychoticism) and personality traits, compared to the mean of the Portuguese population. Impulsivity varied according to sex and the impulsivity dimension evaluated by BIS‑11. Regarding to the personality dimensions measured through EPQ‑R, the results are above median of general population, on both samples. The hypothesis that was suggested about the psychological dimensions evaluated were partially supported. This study allows us understand the profile of these two kinds of groups at a clinical context, which has implications for the development of more effective prevention and intervention programs.
