Dijital oyunlar çağımızın en popüler eğlence araçlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Ancak bu eğlencenin sınırları aşıldığında, bireylerde özellikle gençler arasında ciddi bağımlılık belirtileri gözlemlenmekte ve beraberinde bir çok sorun oluşmaktadır. Bu sorunlar bireylerin fizyolojik, psikolojik ve sosyal yapılarında olumsuz durumlar doğurmaktadır. Bu makalede, dijital oyun bağımlılığı olgusu; tanımı, psikososyal etkileri, risk faktörleri ve müdahale stratejileri çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır. Çalışma, Psikoloji ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümlerinde okuyan öğrencilere dijital bağımlılıkla mücadelede bütüncül bir yaklaşım önermekte, bağımlılığı önleme ve müdahalede hangi yöntemlerin kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.
