RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

Las adicciones conductuales se caracterizan por una pérdida del control del sujeto sobre una determinada conducta, siendo el juego patológico (JP) la más estudiada de ellas. El JP se asocia con graves problemas académicos, alcoholismo, depresión y suicidio por lo que es fundamental saber su prevalencia en la población universitaria. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de potenciales ludópatas entre estudiantes regulares de pregrado de la Universidad Austral de Chile durante el año 2013. MATERIAL Y

MÉTODO:

Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. A fines de 2013 se invitó a participar de una encuesta de auto aplicación on-line a los estudiantes de la Universidad Austral de Chile. Esta incluyó el cuestionario sobre JP basado en los criterios DSM-IV-TR y DSM V. El punto de corte para determinar potencial adicción fue de 5/10 criterios. Se utilizó Microsoft Excel para análisis.

RESULTADOS:

Se recopilaron 1.613 encuestas, siendo 1.254 válidas. La muestra se conformó por hombres 53,9% y mujeres 46,09%, la edad media correspondió a 21,62 años. El 6,38% (n=80) puede ser catalogado como potenciales jugadores patológicos. De ellos, el 77,5% (n=62) fueron hombres y 22,5% (n=18) mujeres. Si se compara la prevalencia obtenida con DSM-IV-TR y DSM V esta aumenta en un 60% con DSM V respecto al anterior.

DISCUSIÓN:

La prevalencia estimada de JP en este estudio es similar a la de otros países. Hay marcado predominio de hombres. Se aprecia importante diferencia en la prevalencia dependiendo de qué criterio diagnóstico se use
ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Behavioral addictions are characterized by a loss of control of the subject over a certain behavior, being pathological gambling (JP) the most studied of them. JP is associated with serious academic problems, alcoholism, depression and suicide, so it is essential to know its prevalence in the university population. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of potential gamblers among regular undergraduate students of the Austral University of Chile during 2013. MATERIAL AND

METHODS:

Descriptive study of transverse cut. At the end of 2013, the students of the Austral University of Chile were invited to participate in an online self-application survey. This included the JP questionnaire based on the DSM-IV-TR and DSM V criteria. The cut-off point for determining potential addiction was 5/10 criteria. Microsoft Excel was used for analysis.

RESULTS:

1,613 surveys were collected, 1,254 of which were valid. The sample was made up of 53.9% men and 46.09% women, the mean age was 21.62 years. 6.38% (n = 80) can be classified as potential pathological players. Of these, 77.5% (n = 62) were men and 22.5% (n = 18) were women. If the prevalence obtained with DSM-IV-TR and DSM V is compared, it increases by 60% with DSM V compared to the previous one.

DISCUSSION:

The estimated prevalence of JP in this study is similar to that of other countries. There is a marked predominance of men. There is a significant difference in prevalence depending on which diagnostic criterion is used.
