[Pathological gambling and internet addiction among nursing students: a pilot study].
Professioni Infermieristiche 2018 January
AIM: To assess pathological gambling and Internet addiction among nursing students.
METHOD: A monocentric, observational study was carried out from November 2013 to January 2014 at an Italian Nursing Degree Course using the Italian version of the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) to assess the risk to develop gambling, and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) to assess the risk to develop Internet addiction. A total of 420 nursing students were enrolled.
RESULTS: Two hundred eighty-three students (67.4%) participated; 11.3 % of participants were identified as ''at-risk'' of pathological gambling (SOGS scores of 1 to 4), whereas the 0.7 % of students were identified as probable pathological gamblers (SOGS scores ≥5). The prevalence of Internet addiction in the sample was 8.8% (IAT scores ≥50). Also, findings showed that students with Internet addiction had a higher risk of developing pathological gambling (B = 0,16; p = 0.005).
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of pathological gambling and Internet addiction in our sample is relatively small. However, the percentage of students who could be at-risk for gambling and Internet addiction related problems is noteworthy. Further multicenter studies are needed to better understand the association between gambling and Internet addiction among nursing students.
