Abstract *

<p>Several meta-analyses and reviews have been published on gaming-related health problems, which are today studied mainly in the context of the World Health Organization’s new mental disorder construct, “gaming disorder”. However, none of those reviews have focused on the problems reported by individuals seeking treatment. The present study synthesizes such evidence from case studies, case reports, and case series of treatment-seekers for gaming-related health problems. First, using deductive coding, the study will synthesize problems, reasons for seeking help, as well as the potential causal links between gaming and the reported problems. Second, a thematic synthesis will be applied to construct themes regarding the contexts of the individuals and the reported problems. A sensitivity analysis based on the level of informativeness of the studies will be carried out. Lastly, the study will assess how well the reported problems and their contexts align with the Coping model, Value fulfillment theory and the Theory of cultural dissonance.</p>
