Abstract

Abstract: Attention deficit disorders (ADD) is a medical disorder that has its own characteristics and tends to be hereditary. Generally, there are three types of behavior associated with this disorder, namely: lack of surrounding attention (inattentiveness), easily distracted (distractibility), and impulsive attitude (impulsiveness). This study was aimed to obtain the prevalence of ADD among adolescent gamers. This was a descriptive-quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. This study was carried out on regular gamers aged 12-15 years who were students of junior high schools. The total respondents in this study were 30 regular gamer teenagers. The digit span, backward digit span, and the stroop test were performed on all respondents. The results showed that among teenagers who played video games more than 1 time per week there were 36.67% with attention deficit disorders.
