Özet
Background/Objectives: Considering the extensive use of digital tools among adolescents and the effects of game addiction on physical, social, emotional, and cognitive domains, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between digital game addiction and the vestibulo-ocular reflex in high school students. Methods: In this descriptive relational study, the relationship between digital game addiction and the functional head impulse test was investigated in adolescents. Two groups of adolescents, with and without digital game addiction, were compared based on the functional head impulse test. The Digital Game Addiction Scale was administered to assess digital game addiction in adolescents aged 14 to 18 years. Results: The findings were analyzed statistically, and the results indicated a statistically significant relationship between digital game addiction and the vestibulo-ocular reflex, with digital game addiction negatively affecting the vestibulo-ocular reflex in adolescents. Conclusions: The findings indicate that digital game addiction in adolescents may impair VOR function, suggesting a potential negative impact on balance and perceptual processing. These results highlight the importance of early interventions and digital literacy programs to mitigate the adverse effects of excessive gaming during adolescence.
