Treatment and study plan

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Programme

Behavioral

Mindfulness involves paying attention to what is occurring in the present moment, noticing the particularity of that attention, and accepting without judgement all states of awareness. Mindfulness is important in moving individuals away from automatic thoughts, habits and unhealthy patterns of behaviour, and therefore can play an important role in promoting conscious and self-affirmed behavioural regulation, which has long been associated with enhancing well-being. Mindfulness is a way of regulating one's self, thoughts and awareness. It has been demonstrated to enhance the ability to remain present in the moment, arising through purposeful, momentary, non-judgemental attention to experience. Recently mindfulness appears to have a positive impact on helping people overcome addiction and psychological problems and providing effective techniques to manage them

Primary outcomes

6 months improvement in smartphone addiction

Time frame: 6 months

Smartphone addiction scale Smartphone Addiction Scale consists of 33 questions. Participants are asked to choose the appropriate option from 'Strongly disagree', 'Disagree', 'Partially disagree', 'Partially agree', 'Agree', 'Strongly agree'. The answers are evaluated between 1-6. The lowest answer score is 33 and the highest answer score is 198. High scorers are those who are seen as risky smartphone users and show addiction. For those with low scores, risky smartphone use is not seen.

Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) It consists of 14 items and 2 sub-dimensions. The scale consists of two sub-dimensions: perception of inadequate self-efficacy (4,5,6,7,9,10,13) and perception of stress/discomfort (1,2,3,8,11,12,14). The scale is a five-point Likert-type scale and is evaluated between 'Never: 0', 'Almost Never: 1', 'Sometimes: 2', 'Quite Often: 3', 'Very often (4)'.

SF-12 Quality of life scale The SF-12, which was transformed into a shorter form by taking 12 different items from 8 different subheadings of the SF-36, consists of two different dimensions: Physical Components Summary Score (PCSS) and Mental Components Summary Score (MCSS). The T-score used to calculate the scoring in SF-36 is not used in SF-12. Instead, a different scoring rule is used. Physical standardisation values and mental standardisation values are summed separately for the answers given by the individuals. Finally, 56.57706 is added to the sum of physical standardisation for 12 questions to calcula
