Abstract

Background and aims: In the digital age, Internet addiction (IA) was deemed an epidemic and few treatments had been effectively developed for it. Here, we proposed a solution-focused group counseling (SFGC) as a potentially solution to reduce Internet addiction among college students. The present study examined the short- and long-term effect of a five-week solution-focused group counseling intervention on Internet addiction.

Methods: Thirty-two participants were recruited and randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group, and twenty-six participants completed the whole intervention. The experimental group (n = 14) received the intervention, while control group (n = 12) did not. The revised version of the Chinese Internet Addiction Scale (CIAS-R), the Future Time Perspective, and resting-state EEG were administered pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at two follow-up tests (one month and six months after intervention).

Results: The results showed that the scores of the CIAS-R in the experimental group were significantly decreased after intervention, and these effects could be sustained for one month and six months follow-ups. Additionally, the intervention conducted an increase in future time perspective. EEG results further suggested that the alpha, beta, and gamma absolute power decreased after the intervention.

Conclusion: These results from the pilot-study primarily suggested that solution-focused group counseling could be an effective intervention for Internet addiction.

为期五周的以解决方案为中心的小组咨询成功地减少了大学生的网络成瘾:一项试点研究。
背景和目的:在数字时代,网瘾(IA)被认为是一种流行病,很少有有效的治疗方法。在此,我们提出了一个以解决方案为中心的小组咨询(SFGC)作为减少大学生网络成瘾的潜在解决方案。本研究考察了为期五周的以解决方案为中心的小组咨询干预对网络成瘾的短期和长期影响。方法:招募32名受试者,随机分为实验组和对照组,其中26名受试者完成了整个干预过程。实验组(n = 14)进行干预,对照组(n = 12)不进行干预。在干预前、干预后以及干预后1个月和6个月的两次随访测试中分别使用修订版中国网络成瘾量表(CIAS-R)、未来时间视角和静息状态脑电图。结果:实验组干预后CIAS-R评分明显下降,且可持续1个月及随访6个月。此外,干预还增加了对未来时间的看法。脑电图结果进一步表明,干预后α、β和γ绝对功率下降。结论:这些初步研究的结果初步表明,以解决方案为中心的团体咨询可能是一种有效的网络成瘾干预措施。

期刊介绍: The aim of Journal of Behavioral Addictions is to create a forum for the scientific information exchange with regard to behavioral addictions. The journal is a broad focused interdisciplinary one that publishes manuscripts on different approaches of non-substance addictions, research reports focusing on the addictive patterns of various behaviors, especially disorders of the impulsive-compulsive spectrum, and also publishes reviews in these topics. Coverage ranges from genetic and neurobiological research through psychological and clinical psychiatric approaches to epidemiological, sociological and anthropological aspects.
