Background: Gaming Disorder is increasingly common in adolescents. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between parenting, personality traits, and Gaming Disorder.

Methods: An observational and cross-sectional study in six secondary schools of Castelló, obtaining a final sample of 397 students.

Results: Adolescents with Gaming Disorder had lower scores in Adolescent Affection-Communication ( = 8.201; < 0.001), Father's Warmth ( = 3.459; = 0.028), and Father's Acceptance/Involvement ( = 5.467; = 0.003), and higher scores in Mother's Revoking Privileges ( = 4.277; = 0.034) and Father's Indifference ( = 7.868; = 0.002) than healthy participants. Male sex was a risk factor for Gaming Disorder (OR = 12.221; = 0.004), while Adolescent Affection-Communication (OR = 0.908; = 0.001) and Agreeableness (OR = 0.903; = 0.022) were protective factors. Data modeling described the protective effect that Adolescent Affection-Communication had on Gaming Disorder, which was both directly ( = -0.20; < 0.001) and indirectly mediated by Neuroticism ( = -0.20; < 0.001), while Neuroticism itself was a risk factor for Gaming Disorder ( = 0.50; < 0.001).

Conclusion: These results reflect that Parental style with low affection and communication was directly and indirectly related to the Gaming Disorder, as well as male sex and personality trait of Neuroticism.

Disruptions in cognitive function have been reported in individuals undergoing haemodialysis and those with chronic kidney disease. This pilot study protocol primarily assesses the feasibility and acceptability of using mobile cognitive gaming apps for patient-led cognitive training during haemodialysis sessions. The protocol consists of three phases: (1) reviewing and evaluating available cognitive gaming apps, (2) conducting focus groups/interviews with people with kidney disease to determine app preferences, and (3) undertaking a quasi-experimental randomised controlled trial to compare cognitive outcomes between a patient-led app intervention group and a standard care control group over four months.

Neurocognitive impairment (NCI) is present in around 40% of people with HIV and substantially affects everyday life, adherence to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) and overall life expectancy. Suboptimal therapy regimen, opportunistic infections, substance abuse and highly prevalent psychiatric co-morbidities contribute to NCI in people with HIV. In this review, we highlight the need for efficacious treatment of HIV-related NCI through pharmacological approaches and cognitive neurorehabilitation, discussing recent randomized controlled trials in this domain.

Objective: The hikikomori phenomenon has recently gained growing global interest, and evidences of its association with other psychopathological dimensions are slowly but steadily emerging. We aimed to evaluate the presence and correlates of hikikomori tendencies in an Italian University population, focusing on its relationships with autism spectrum, pathological computer gaming, and eating disorders. In particular, to our knowledge, no study has yet systematically evaluated the latter association, using psychometric instruments tailored to assess eating disorder symptoms.
