The study will be conducted with the randomized controlled experimental method. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of digital game addiction awareness training given to parents of 6th-grade secondary school students on their parents' awareness levels of digital game addiction. Parents will be randomly assigned to groups by lottery method. After the randomization parents of students in the intervention group will be given 'Digital Game Addiction Awareness Training'.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The use of technological devices such as computers, tablets and smartphones is increasing day by day all over the world. With the widespread use of these high-tech devices and the internet in the last 20 years, digital games have become popular as a leisure activity, especially among children and adolescents. Although digital games provide cognitive, social and emotional benefits such as improving hand-eye coordination, three-dimensional thinking, coping with stress, increasing decision-making speed and facilitating learning, excessive digital gaming can lead to psychosocial and medical problems. One of the most important problems that may develop as a result of uncontrolled use of online and offline games is digital game addiction.

Considering the addiction of digital games, it is very important to raise awareness and awareness of both children and their parents in order to protect children from the risks of digital games and to ensure that they play the games they play in a controlled manner. One of the important methods of raising awareness is to provide training to individuals on the subject for which awareness is desired. In this regard, this research was planned to examine the effect of digital game addiction awareness training on creating and increasing awareness of digital game addiction in the parents of secondary school students.
