Online gaming can captivate students for extended periods, potentially affecting their sense of time as they become absorbed in immersive virtual environments and captivating games. This study investigates the levels of addiction to game playing, learning attitudes, and health dimensions of students. At Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School, a significant number of students use mobile phones for gaming, posing a dilemma for teachers. Specifically, this study seeks to profile the respondents, determine their levels of addiction to game-playing and learning attitudes, and evaluate the effect of gaming addiction on the health dimensions of the respondents. This study was conducted among students at Senior High School from selected schools categorized as mega, large, and medium in the Gingoog City Division during the School Year 2023-2024. A patterned and modified survey questionnaire was utilized using descriptive correlational research design, and Slovins Formula was used to determine the sample size. The data were analyzed using statistical tools such as the Pearson (r) Correlation, mean scores, frequency and percentage, and standard deviation. The findings revealed that respondents aged 17-18 years old, male, in grade 12, enrolled in the HUMMS strand, and receiving a daily allowance of 50-99 pesos obtained the highest frequency. It was also found that the level of respondents’ addiction to game playing was low, and their level of learning attitude was high. Additionally, it was revealed that the effects of addiction to game playing on the health dimensions of the respondents were low. This concludes that the respondents' sex, age, and academic strand showed a significant relationship with their levels of addiction to game playing, learning attitude, and health dimensions. Consequently, students with lower levels of addiction to game playing exhibited higher learning attitudes and experienced fewer negative effects on their health dimensions. This suggests that respondents' profiles, such as sex, age, and academic strand, play a significant role in the study's outcomes, emphasizing the need for specific interventions and support services to promote holistic well-being. It is recommended to encourage collaboration among teachers and school administrators to design specific prevention programs, offer diverse learning experiences such as project-based learning, and implement comprehensive health education initiatives.
