Despite all the positive features of the internet, the risk of addiction threatens users. Sleep disorders and the negative effects on self-efficacy are important risks of this technology. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of modifying the parent-child interaction pattern based on play therapy (filial therapy) on internet addiction, sleep quality, and self-efficacy in 9-12-year-old children.
This quasi-experimental study was conducted using a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all 3617 boys and girls aged 9-12 years studying in selected schools in Kerman, Iran (12 elementary schools) in the academic year 2020-2021. A total of 72 students were randomly selected from among the children who met the benchmark score of internet addiction and were not under medical and psychological treatment. The participants were divided into two experimental and control groups (36 students each). A demographic information questionnaire, the Internet Addiction Scale (YIAS), the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children (SEQ-C), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.
The mean scores of internet addiction in the pre-test and post-test were 86.67 and 86.23 in the control group and 88.14 and 75.14 in the experimental group, respectively, which showed a decrease in internet addiction. The scores of sleep quality in the pre-test and post-test were 1.81 and 1.78 in the control group and 1.75 and 0.5 in the experimental group, respectively. Moreover, the overall scores of self-efficacy in the pre-test and post-test were 63.64 and 63.94 in the control group and 62.08 and 81.75 in the experimental group, respectively. The results indicated an improvement in the overall quality of sleep and selfefficacy.
The results showed that the severity of internet addiction in children decreased after the treatment based on modifying the parent-child interaction, and this treatment was also effective on self-efficacy and sleep disorders.
尽管互联网具有诸多积极特性，但成瘾风险却威胁着用户。睡眠障碍以及对自我效能感的负面影响是这项技术的重要风险。因此，本研究旨在探讨基于游戏治疗（亲子治疗）改变亲子互动模式对9至12岁儿童网络成瘾、睡眠质量和自我效能感的有效性。
本准实验研究采用前后测设计并设有对照组。研究的统计总体包括2020 - 2021学年在伊朗克尔曼选定学校（12所小学）就读的所有3617名9至12岁的男孩和女孩。从达到网络成瘾基准分数且未接受医学和心理治疗的儿童中随机选取72名学生。参与者被分为两个实验组和对照组（每组36名学生）。使用人口统计学信息问卷、网络成瘾量表（YIAS）、儿童自我效能量表（SEQ - C）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）收集数据。数据使用SPSS软件进行分析。
对照组前测和后测的网络成瘾平均得分分别为86.67和86.23，实验组分别为88.14和75.14，表明网络成瘾有所减少。对照组前测和后测的睡眠质量得分分别为1.81和1.78，实验组分别为1.75和0.5。此外，对照组前测和后测的自我效能感总体得分分别为63.64和63.94，实验组分别为62.08和81.75。结果表明睡眠总体质量和自我效能感有所改善。
结果表明，基于改变亲子互动的治疗后，儿童网络成瘾的严重程度降低，并且这种治疗对自我效能感和睡眠障碍也有效。
