Objectives：Internet/smartphone addiction among adolescents is an increasingly problematic social issue, but with no current systematic treatment guidelines. In this study, we have evaluated the effect of a group therapy, using art program, on adolescents’ addiction to internet/smartphone.
Methods：Screening tests(Young’s Internet Addiction test, YIAT ; Korean Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale, SAPS) were performed on students from elementary and middle schools in Daegu, the Republic of Korea. Six sessions of group art therapy were conducted among 60 students, 20 showing internet/smartphone addiction(addiction group), and 40 with no addiction to the internet/smartphone(control group). Questionnaires including the sociodemographic information, Children’s Social Support Scale(SSS) scores, and Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale(PACS) scores were completed before the intervention. Clinical scales evaluating internet/smartphone addiction(YIAT, SAPS) among the participants and their psychological dispositions were also assessed before and after the intervention.
Results：There were no significant differences in the sociodemographic factors between the addiction and control groups. The averages of the SSS and PACS scores were significantly higher in the control group when compared to those in the addiction group. The addiction group revealed a statistically significant decrease in the SAPS scores and a trend towards decreased YIAT scores. Both groups showed statistically significant decreases in the state anxiety and depression scores.
Conclusion：Adolescents with Internet/smartphone addiction showed improvements in addictive behavior, state anxiety, and depression after group art therapy; hence, group art therapy may be considered an alternative treat-ment method for internet/smartphone addiction among adolescents.
