ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of cognitive behavior orientation group psychotherapy on coping style, time management and family function of middle school students with internet addiction, and provide theoretical basis for the internet addiction psychotherapy system.Methods:Based on IAT, 70 internet addiction middle school students were screened and divided into control group and experimental group according to random number table method.The control group was only given conventionally psychological and drug treatments, the experimental group participated in cognitive behavioral orientation group psychotherapy on the basis of the treatment of the control group.Thirty-two people in the control group and thirty-three people in the experimental group completed the treatment.Before and after treatment, the two groups of middle school students were evaluated by the internet IAT, the SCSQ, the ATMD and the FAD.Results:There was no significant difference in the scales between the two groups of internet addiction middle school students before treatment (all P>0.05). After the intervention of the experimental group, the differences in the positive response (1.89±0.51), negative response (1.55±0.51), time monitoring (58.39±12.10), time value (26.64±4.48), time efficacy (30.42±5.18), and roles(18.85±2.40), communication(24.18±3.77), behavior control (18.82±2.57) and general functioning(24.79±3.90) of FAD were statistically significant compared with the control group (1.62±0.44), (1.84±0.55), (52.09±11.72), (19.34±3.96), (21.91±6.13), (21.16±2.63), (26.09±3.75), (20.59±2.54), (28.69±3.68) and the pre-intervention period (1.46±0.48), (1.97±0.56), (48.73±13.46), (18.27±4.84), (20.00±5.79), (21.76±2.72), (26.58±3.86), (19.76±2.96), (29.27±4.76) (all P<0.05). There were significant differences in problem-solving (12.67±2.50) and affective responsiveness (14.03±3.73) scores of the FAD between the experimental group and the pre-intervention group (14.15±2.83), (14.61±3.66) (all P<0.05). There were significant differences in SCSQ and ATMD before and after treatment in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Cognitive behavior orientation group psychotherapy can optimize the coping style, ameliorate their time management ability and significantly improve the role, communication, behavior control and overall function of family function of middle school students with internet addiction.
