Abstract

The availability of the internet and the increase in stress in adolescents caused by the pandemic have led adolescents to frequently seek entertainment through online games. Online gaming can negatively impact adolescents by causing a decline in their physical health, psychological issues, difficulty forming healthy social relationships, and decline their quality of life. This study identified the relationship between online game addiction and the quality of life of adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research utilized a cross-sectional approach and involved 96 adolescents as the research sample selected using the incidental sampling method. Data collection was carried out using the Game Addiction Scale for Adolescent and WHOQOL-Bref, while the Spearman Rho test was used for data analysis. The results of the data analysis showed a significance p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) and r = -0.711, indicating that there was a unidirectional relationship between online game addiction and quality of life. Thus, it can be concluded that the higher the level of online game addiction, the lower the quality of life of adolescents. 

 

Abstrak 

Kualitas Hidup Remaja yang Mengalami Kecanduan Game Online Selama Pandemi COVID-19. Ketersediaan internet dan meningkatnya stres remaja akibat pandemi membuat remaja sering mencari hiburan melalui game online. Bermain game online secara berlebihan dapat menyebabkan mereka mengalami kecanduan. Hal tersebut dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif seperti penurunan kesehatan fisik, masalah psikologis, hubungan sosial dan penurunan kualitas hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara kecanduan game online dengan kualitas hidup remaja selama pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan cross-sectional dan memilih 96 remaja sebagai sampel penelitian yang dipilih dengan metode incidental sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan Game Addiction Scale for Adolescent dan WHOQOL-Bref, sedangkan analisis data menggunakan uji Spearman Rho. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan signifikansi nilai p sebesar 0,000 (p < 0,05) dan r = -0,711, menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan searah antara kecanduan game online dengan kualitas hidup. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi tingkat kecanduan game online maka kualitas hidup remaja akan semakin rendah.

Kata Kunci: game online, kecanduan, kualitas hidup, remaja
