Abstract

This study investigates the impact of online gaming on the physical health of vocational program students at the University of Indonesia, amidst the growing popularity of this activity in the digital age. Utilizing a survey method, data were collected through questionnaires to assess gaming habits and their associated health effects. Findings reveal that while students report feelings of happiness and satisfaction from gaming, they also acknowledge adverse health outcomes. Notable issues include fatigue from prolonged gaming sessions, poor dietary habits, and sleep disturbances. Although a significant majority (94%) feel in control of their gaming time, a considerable portion (84%) recognizes the necessity to limit play to safeguard their health. The study underscores the critical need for education and awareness regarding the health risks linked to online gaming addiction among university students. It advocates for preventive measures to mitigate potential health issues and calls for further research involving health professionals to develop effective intervention strategies.
