Abstract

Acceptance and Cognitive Restructuring Intervention Program (ACRIP) in Telemedicine on the Symptoms of Internet Gaming Disorder and Psychological Well-Being of Adolescents

Highlights

  • The Acceptance and Cognitive Restructuring Intervention Program (ACRIP) has been proven efficacious in existing studies to reduce the symptoms of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) and improve the psychological well-being of adolescents

  • Statistical analysis using MANOVA on post-test mean scores on IGD and Psychological well-being (PWB) of the experimental group showed a significant difference which suggested that the ACRIP is efficacious in reducing the symptoms of IGD and improving the psychological well-being of selected adolescents included in the studies and is culture-free

  • The eight-module intervention program (Table 1) was expert validated, found efficacious and positively received by the participants in the pilot and experimental studies [10,11]. This confirmed that the modules developed for the program integrating the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness theories were reliable, feasible, and efficacious for testing on a large base of adolescents who are at risk of IGD

Summary

Introduction

“Gaming disorder”, the official nomenclature given by the World Health Organization (WHO) to compulsive online or offline gaming, was recently recognized as a mental health condition. The eight-module intervention program (Table 1) was expert validated, found efficacious and positively received by the participants in the pilot and experimental studies [10,11] This confirmed that the modules developed for the program integrating the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness theories were reliable, feasible, and efficacious for testing on a large base of adolescents who are at risk of IGD. After a correlation was established between IGD and psychological well-being and careful examination of its constructs, the intervention program ACRIP was developed by integrating the concepts of two cognitive theoretical models: Cognitive Behavioral model of Problematic Internet Use (PIU) and Mindfulness. The result of the study confirmed that the modules developed for the intervention program are reliable, feasible, and efficacious for testing on a larger base of adolescents who are at risk of IGD. The eight modules developed for the ACRIP, summarized as AFFIRME, and the objective of each module were briefly described in Table 1 [11]
