Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Adolescents: Effects on Game Addiction, Stress, and Sleep
Sponsor: Muş Alparslan University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial investigated the impact of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on digital game addiction, perceived stress, and sleep quality among adolescents. The primary research questions were as follows: Does the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program influence adolescents' levels of digital game addiction? Does the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program affect adolescents' perceived stress levels? Does the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program impact adolescents' sleep quality? Participants, aged 12-16, will be randomly allocated to either an intervention group, which will undergo an 8-week MBSR program, or a control group, which will continue with routine school activities. The MBSR program comprises weekly 40-minute sessions that include breath awareness, body scanning, mindful movement, and emotion regulation exercises. Data will be collected using the Digital Game Addiction Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at both the pretest and posttest stages. This study is anticipated to contribute to the development of preventive strategies for behavioral addictions and enhance the emotional well-being and sleep patterns of adolescents.
