본 연구에서는 일반인들의 도박 중독 유병률 조사에 활용할 수 있는 단축형 조사도구를 개발하고, 도박 중독자 선별을 위한 기준점(cutoff score)을 탐색했다. 먼저 501명의 도박 이용자들을 대상으로 K-PGSI(Korean Problem Gambling Severity Index)의 단축형 척도를 개발했다. 문항을 선별하기 위해 원척도의 요인부하량과 문항-총점 간 상관, 응답자들의 반응 빈도나 전문가의 경험적 판단 등을 단계적으로 참고하여 요인타당도와 신뢰도가 양호한 네 문항의 단축형 척도를 개발했다. 다음으로 일반인 1,584명을 대상으로 단축형 척도를 교차타당화 하고, 도박 중독자 선별을 위한 기준점을 개발했다. 단축형 척도의 기준점으로 도박 중독 집단을 선별할 때 나타난 민감도(sensitivity)와 특이도(specificity)는 각각 1.00과 0.99로 모두 우수했다. 끝으로 도박 중독 유병률 조사에 본 척도를 어떻게 활용할 수 있을지 논의하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the mediating effect of depression on the relationship between gambling severity and cognitive distortion in Koreans with a gambling disorder. Methods: Secondary data from a comprehensive assessment of problematic gambling between 2015 and 2017 on Korea Center on Gambling Problems were used. The subjects in this study were 254 Koreans with that gambling disorder. Data were collected with self-report structured questionnaires which included individual characteristics, the Korean version of Problem Gambling Severity Index, the Center for the Epidemiologic Studies Depression, and the Gambling Related Cognitions Scale. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA with the $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and a mediation analysis of the Baron and Kenny method with the SPSS 22.0 program. Results: Significant correlations emerged among the three variables, gambling severity, depression, and cognitive distortion. Depression exerted a partial mediating effect (${\beta}=.20$, p<.001) on the relationship between gambling severity and cognitive distortion (Sobel test: z=2.33, p=.012). Conclusion: Based on this study's findings, nursing intervention programs focused on managing gambling severity and decreasing depression are highly recommended to alleviate cognitive distortion in people with a gambling disorder.

Objectives: This study aims to identify differences in problem gambling among Korean university students by gender and to analyze the relationship between problem gambling and health risk behaviors. Methods: With a sample of 2,026 4-year university students, a questionnaire included CPGI (Canadian Problem Gambling Index) scale and health risk behavior items was administered. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA were performed on the data. Results: The prevalence of gambling addiction of male students(14.6%) was two times higher than that of female students(6.6%). The severity of problem gambling was higher in: smokers, those with drug use experience, heavy drinkers, and those with frequently recurring suicidal thoughts, respectively. Conclusions: This study suggests that the problem gambling of university students is a complicated and comprehensive public health problem that is related with health risk behaviors such as alcohol drinking, smoking, drug use, and suicidal thoughts. Prevention strategies and policies are suggested based on the study results.
