Abstract

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of game addiction, sleep quality, and depression among undergraduate students, and to analyze the relationships between these factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 380 undergraduate students using convenience sampling at a university in Nakhon Ratchasima province from August to September 2024. An online questionnaire included Game Addiction Screening Test (GAST), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression.

Results: GAST assessment revealed 55 students (14.5%) with obsessed to probable game addiction. PSQI assessment identified poor sleep quality in 151 students (39.7%), while PHQ-9 assessment detected depression in 151 students (39.7%). Students with game addiction showed increased risk of depression (OR=2.88, 95%CI: 1.60–5.17) and poor sleep quality (OR=1.86, 95%CI: 1.04–3.30). Multivariable analysis revealed that female sex (adjusted OR=2.85, 95%CI: 1.23–6.61) and daily gaming hours (adjusted OR=1.18, 95%CI: 1.01–1.38) were significantly associated with game addiction.

Conclusion: A high prevalence of game addiction was found among undergraduate students. Preliminary analysis suggested potential associations between game addiction, depression, and poor sleep quality. The findings emphasize the necessity for continuous screening and monitoring of gaming-related problems and mental health among students, particularly among females and those with prolonged daily gaming hours.
