Abstract

Purpose: We evaluated the outcomes of a school-based group counseling program for adolescent Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD). The program aimed to enhance self-regulation, resilience, parent–child attachment, and parental supervision and reduce gaming hours, IGD severity, IGD symptoms, depression, and parent–child conflict. Method: In this quasi-experimental study, out of 115 sary school students in Singapore ( M age = 13.7, SD = 1.56 ) who reported five or more out of ten IGD symptoms, 61 participated in the intervention and 54 served as a nonintervention group. Results: Repeated Measures ANCOVA revealed that compared with the non-intervention, the program was effective in improving self-regulation ( F = 7.84, p = .006), resilience ( F = 4.90, p = .03), weekend gaming hours ( F = 9.18, p = .003), IGD severity ( F = 7.68, p = .007) and depression ( F = 14.3, p < .000). Discussion: We suggest that the program improve parental support components while focusing on self-regulation.

青少年网络游戏障碍校本团体辅导计划之评估

目的：我们评估了以学校为基础的青少年网络游戏障碍（IGD）小组咨询项目的结果。该项目旨在增强自我调节、适应力、亲子依恋和父母监督，减少游戏时间、IGD严重程度、IGD症状、抑郁和亲子冲突。方法：在这项准实验研究中，在新加坡115名小学学生（M年龄= 13.7,SD = 1.56）中报告了10种IGD症状中的5种或5种以上，其中61人参加了干预组，54人作为非干预组。结果：ANCOVA重复测量结果显示，与非干预相比，该方案在改善自我调节（F = 7.84, p = 0.006）、恢复力（F = 4.90, p = 0.03）、周末游戏时间（F = 9.18, p = 0.003）、IGD严重程度（F = 7.68, p = 0.007）和抑郁(F = 14.3, p <；组织)。讨论：我们建议该计划在关注自我调节的同时改善父母支持的组成部分。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
