Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to examine the effect of an addiction management model applied to sixth-grade middle school students at high risk of digital addiction on digital addiction and psychological resilience. In this study, sixth-grade students' digital addiction risks were first assessed through a questionnaire. A parallel group, randomized controlled experimental design was used in the research. According to the power analysis results, it was determined that the sample size should be at least 72 people. Due to possible losses, 10% more participants were accepted into the study, and 80 students who met the inclusion criteria were assigned to the intervention n=40 and control n=40 groups. The study will utilize personal information forms, the Digital Addiction Scale for Children, and the Child and Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale. The data collection process will be conducted in three stages: pre-test, post-test, and 1-month follow-up test.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants were divided into two parallel groups: the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group will receive a 6-week addiction management model consisting of 6 group sessions (each 40 minutes long) combining digital addiction and psychological resilience training with Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Interventions will be conducted once a week. The control group will not receive any experimental intervention. They will continue with the standard school curriculum. Both groups will be assessed simultaneously in three phases: pre-test (at baseline), post-test (immediately after the 6-week intervention), and 1-month follow-up.

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
Data analysis is planned to be performed by a statistician independent of the study. Since the researcher is the one administering the intervention, blinding is not possible.

Study Groups
