Despite the growth in the number of studies on Gaming Disorders (GD), assessing the characteristics of clinical subjects is still limited. Driven by the need to overcome this limitation, a broad systematic review is essential to cover the studies that have already assessed the clinical characteristics of individuals diagnosed with GD. The aim of this systematic review is to provide a broad cross-cultural picture of the current diagnostic procedures and interventions used for GDs in clinical practice. A total of 28 studies met the inclusion criteria, and data were synthesized in these categories: (1) the cultural background of the country where the research took place; (2) the instruments used to measure GD; (3) the diagnostic criteria for GD; (4) the diagnostic procedures used; and (5) the treatment protocol applied. Results of this systematic review suggest that in GD clinical practice, there is a great deal of heterogeneity in the choice of instruments, the diagnostic and intervention processes for GD. This systematic review indicates that a validation process of standard procedures in clinical populations with GD is necessary to create clear shared guidelines for practitioners.
尽管关于游戏障碍（GD）的研究数量有所增加，但对临床受试者特征的评估仍然有限。出于克服这一局限性的需要，进行广泛的系统评价对于涵盖已评估被诊断为GD的个体临床特征的研究至关重要。本系统评价的目的是全面呈现临床实践中用于GD的当前诊断程序和干预措施的跨文化情况。共有28项研究符合纳入标准，并在以下类别中进行了数据综合：（1）开展研究的国家的文化背景；（2）用于测量GD的工具；（3）GD的诊断标准；（4）使用的诊断程序；以及（5）应用的治疗方案。本系统评价的结果表明，在GD临床实践中，在工具选择、GD的诊断和干预过程方面存在很大异质性。本系统评价表明，有必要对患有GD的临床人群的标准程序进行验证，以便为从业者制定明确的共享指南。
