In parallel to the rapid growth of access to new technologies (NT) there has been an increase in the problematic use of the same, especially among children and adolescents. Although research in this field is increasing, the studies have mainly been developed in the community, and the characteristics associated with the problematic use of NT are unknown in samples that require clinical care. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between problematic use of video games (UPV) and Internet (UPI) and personality traits and behavior problems in a clinical sample of children and adolescents.
The sample consists of 88 patients who were examined in the clinical psychology consultation in the Mental Health Unit for Children and Adolescents of the University Hospital of Santiago de Compostela. Data were obtained from self-reports and rating scales filled out by parents.
31.8% of the participants present UPI and 18.2%, UPV. The children and adolescents with UPNT have lower levels of Openness to experience, Conscientiousness and Agreeableness and higher levels of Emotional instability, global Impulsivity and Externalizing behavior problems, as well as Attention and Thought problems.
UPNT is a problem that emerges as an important issue in clinical care for children and adolescents, so its study in child and youth care units is needed. Understanding the psychopathological profile of children and adolescents with UPNT will allow for the development of differential and more specific interventions.
随着获取新技术（NT）的机会迅速增加，其问题性使用也有所上升，尤其是在儿童和青少年中。尽管该领域的研究在不断增加，但这些研究主要是在社区中开展的，在需要临床护理的样本中，与NT问题性使用相关的特征尚不清楚。因此，本研究的目的是分析儿童和青少年临床样本中视频游戏问题性使用（UPV）和互联网问题性使用（UPI）与人格特质及行为问题之间的关系。
样本包括88名在圣地亚哥德孔波斯特拉大学医院儿童和青少年心理健康科临床心理咨询中接受检查的患者。数据来自患者自我报告以及家长填写的评定量表。
31.8%的参与者存在UPI，18.2%存在UPV。有NT问题性使用的儿童和青少年在经验开放性、尽责性和宜人性方面得分较低，在情绪不稳定性、总体冲动性和外化行为问题以及注意力和思维问题方面得分较高。
NT问题性使用是儿童和青少年临床护理中出现的一个重要问题，因此需要在儿童和青少年护理单位对其进行研究。了解有NT问题性使用的儿童和青少年的心理病理特征将有助于制定差异化且更具针对性的干预措施。
