Abstract

Introduction: Various studies have highlighted the high prevalence of psychological and psychiatric problems among students with Internet addiction (IA). This study aimed to determine the effect of GCBT on self-control, self-efficacy as well as the prevalence of IA amongst students of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences (QUMS). Methods: This randomized controlled trial was performed on 80 students addicted to the Internet. Participants were randomly divided into control (without intervention) and treatment group (GCBT). The experimental group participated in a GCBT program consisted of 10 two2-hour sessions based on psychosocial training, cognitive reconstruction, behavior modification, and improving emotion regulation. Data were collected using demographic information, Yang IA test, brief self-control scale, and compulsive iInternet usage scale before and 3 months after GCBT. Results: The Rfindings demonstrated significant improvements in general self-efficacy (21.90 ± 5.1-–27.31 ± 3.9, F = 46.131, df = 1, P < 0.001) and self-control (33.03 ± 4.7-–44.78 ± 6.1, F = 59.252, df = 1, P < 0.001), while compulsive Internet usage (41.41 ± 6.35-–25.13 ± 3.97, F = 163.359, df = 1, P < 0.001) and IA (60.83 ± 9.95-–36.10 ± 5.16, F = 183.302, df = 1, P < 0.001) were remarkably reduced in the experimental group after GCBT. Conclusion: This study suggests that GCBT can be an effective treatment for those college students struggling with IA, with improving the psychological variables affecting IA.
团体认知行为治疗对医大学生一般自我效能、自我控制及网络成瘾的影响
各种研究都强调了网络成瘾(IA)学生的心理和精神问题的高发性。本研究旨在探讨GCBT对卡兹温医科大学学生自我控制、自我效能感及IA患病率的影响。方法:对80名网络成瘾学生进行随机对照试验。参与者随机分为对照组(无干预)和治疗组(GCBT)。实验组参加了一个GCBT项目,包括10次2小时的心理社会训练、认知重建、行为矫正和改善情绪调节。采用人口统计学资料、杨氏自我控制量表、简易自我控制量表、强迫性网络使用量表收集GCBT前后3个月的数据。结果:Rfindings证明在一般自我效能感显著改善(21.90±5.1,27.31±3.9,F = 46.131, df = 1, P < 0.001)和自控(33.03±4.7,44.78±6.1,F = 59.252, df = 1, P < 0.001),而强迫性网络使用(41.41±6.35,25.13±3.97,F = 163.359, df = 1, P < 0.001)和IA(60.83±9.95,36.10±5.16,F = 183.302, df = 1, P < 0.001)显著减少后的实验组GCBT。结论:本研究提示GCBT可以有效治疗大学生内隐症,改善影响内隐症的心理变量。
