The The relationship between video game addiction and bladder and bowel dysfunction in children
Abstract
Introduction. Video games have a strong influence on children and adolescents.Video game addiction has negative effects on children's health.
Objective. To determine the relationship between video game addiction and bladder-bowel dysfunction in children.
Materials and methods.Three hundred sixty-three children and their mothers who met the inclusion criteria of the study constituted the sample of this correlational study. The data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the Video Game Addiction Scale for Children (VASC), and the Childhood Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Questionnaire (CBBDQ).
Results. Of the children, 72.5% and 27.5% were 9 and 10 years old, respectively, and 50.4% and 49.6% of them were male and female, respectively. It was determined that while 4.7% of the students who participated in the study were underweight, 19.6% and 17.9% of them were overweight and obese, respectively. It was found that the mean total scores of the scales were as follows: VASC 50.77±16.17, CBBDQ 29.98±8.90, respectively. The ratio of children with the VASC mean total score of 90 and above was 0.8% (n=3). It was found that 3.6% (n=13) of the children had urinary-fecal incontinence while playing video games. It was revealed that there was a weak positive relationship between the VASC and CBBDQ, bladder and bowel sub-dimensions (r= 0.220; p˂0.05).
Conclusions. There is a correlation children's video game addiction scores and bladder and bowel dysfunction scores. The increase in children's video game addiction scores increased bladder and bowel dysfunction.
