Effectıveness Of Cognıtıve Behavıoral-Based Psychoeducatıon In College Students Wıth Smartphone Addıctıon
Condition: Addictive Behavior
MeSH terms: Behavior, Addictive; Internet Addiction Disorder
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the group psycho-education program which is
      prepared as "cognitive behavioural-based", on college students' smartphone dependency levels.
      The research will be carried out on students studying at a private foundation University in
      2019-2020 academic year. In this study, pre-test-final Test control group and follow-up
      measured experimental pattern will be used to determine the effect of Psycho-education
      program on smartphone dependency levels of college students.

      A Personal Information Form and Smartphone Dependency scale will be applied to students who
      agree to participate in the study. By analysing the data results obtained from the data
      collection tools and passing the determined limit value, 94 people will be randomly selected,
      including 47 experiments and 47 control groups, from those who scored high on the smartphone
      dependency scale through the SPSS program using the power analysis method. Students will be
      informed about cognitive behavioural based psychoeducation and will be asked if they wish to
      participate in the training. Psychoeducation Practice 1 day per week, 60-90 min. sessions
      will take 8 weeks. At the end of the training, the final test will be applied to the
      experimental and control group. 3rd and 6th month follow-up measurements are planned to be
      carried out intermittently at the end of the month.

      In the literature, it is observed that the number of intervention studies is very small, and
      no clear conclusions have been reached. In addition, the treatment of smartphone addiction in
      Turkey with cognitive-behavioural approach-based group psychoeducation program has not been
      studied before. In our country, where smartphone addiction is increasing every day, the
      importance of intervention efforts in this area is clear. It is anticipated that the
      intervention study on addiction reduction will be supportive for researchers and will be
      beneficial for people who need support for smartphone addiction. In this respect, it is
      thought that it will be a guiding work for future clinical and academic studies.
