OBJETTIV:
Dipendenza fuq l-Internet hija waħda mill-iktar problemi komuni fost l-adolexxenti u huwa meħtieġ trattament effettiv. Din ir-riċerka għandha l-għan li tittestja l-effikaċja u l-mekkaniżmu sottostanti ta 'terapija ta' grupp b'ħafna familji (MFGT) biex tnaqqas id-dipendenza fuq l-Internet fost l-adolexxenti.
METODU:
Total ta ’parteċipanti ta’ 92 li jikkonsistu minn adolexxenti ta ’46 bid-dipendenza fuq l-Internet, 12-18years ta’ età, u 46 ġenituri tagħhom, ta ’35-46years ta’ età, were assigned to the experimental group (six-session MFGT intervention) or a waiting-list control. Structured questionnaires were administered at pre-intervention (T1), post-intervention (T2) and a three-month follow-up (T3).
RIŻULTATI:
There was a significant difference in the decline both in the average score and proportion of adolescents with Internet addiction in MFGT group at post-intervention (MT1=3.40, MT2=2.46, p<0.001; 100 versus 4.8%, p<0.001) maintained for three months (MT3=2.06, p<0.001; 100 versus 11.1%, p<0.001). Reports from both adolescents and parents were significantly better than those in the control group. Further explorations of the underlying mechanisms of effectiveness based on the changed values of measured variables showed that the improvement in adolescent Internet use was partially explained by the satisfaction of their psychological needs and improved parent-adolescent communication and closeness.
KONKLUŻJONIJIET:
The six-session multi-family group therapy was effective in reducing Internet addiction behaviors among adolescents and could be implemented as part of routine primary care clinic services in similar populations. As family support system is critical in maintaining the intervention effect, fostering positive parent-adolescent interaction and addressing adolescents’ psychological needs should be included in preventive programs for Internet addiction in the future.
