Primary outcomes

  1. Addiction level changed using Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale in

    Time frame: Change from before implementation and 12th week of practice.

    The scale is answered according to five-point Likert-type grading ranging from (1) very rare to (5) very frequent. The total score of the scale varies between 6-30. As the scores obtained from the scale increase, the level of social media addiction also increases.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Healthy lifestyle evaluated using the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale

    Time frame: Change from before implementation and 12th week of practice.

    The rating is in the form of a 4-point Likert. It is accepted as never (1), sometimes (2), often (3), regularly (4). For the whole scale, the lowest score is 52, the highest score is 208. While the maximum points that can be obtained from the sub-dimensions of health responsibility, nutrition, spiritual development and interpersonal relations are 36, the minimum points are 9. While the maximum scores from physical activity and stress management sub-dimensions are 32, the minimum scores are 8. The high score obtained from the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale indicates that the individual has more positive health behaviors in his life.

Other outcomes

  1. Self-esteem evaluated using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Inventory

    Time frame: Change from before implementation and 12th week of practice.

    The score obtained from the scale varies between 0-30. The higher the score, the higher the self-esteem. Thirty points are considered as self-esteem at the maximum level, 15-25 as normal self-esteem, and below 15 points as decreased self-esteem.
