BACKGROUND: The stress level is considered a factor associated with the presence of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), however there are few studies in Latin America and Peru that clarify this association, most seen on adolescents. OBJECTIVES: this study evaluated the association between the stress level and IGD in Peruvian from first to fifth year of high school. METHODS: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out. Peruvian adolescents from a public high school in Lima were surveyed (N=614). The survey included the IGD-20 Test and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) validated in Spanish. “Poisson regression” was performed to identify the prevalence ratio (PR) with a 95% confidence interval (p <0.05). FINDING: Adolescents with IGD were found to have a higher perceived stress 41 (41; 44), as compared to those without IGD 26 (22; 30). In the regression analysis, it was found that, for each point of increase in the stress scale, the probability of presenting internet gaming disorder is 20% higher (p <0.001). The prevalence of IGD in the sample was 8.0% and the median stress level was 27 (22; 32). CONCLUSION: The level of perceived stress was a factor associated with IGD in adolescents in a public high school in Lima. Participants with higher stress were more likely to present IGD. In addition, other factors associated with IGD were identified, such as being male and having a severely dysfunctional family. These findings serve to develop future research in the field of public health
