Mobile phone addiction in adolescents is a serious social problem that not only negatively affects physical and mental health but also hinders social stability and development. However, studies on interventions for mobile phone addiction in adolescents are still few. Therefore, exploring interventions for mobile phone addiction in adolescents and scrutinizing the corresponding mechanism of action are crucial.
A questionnaire survey was conducted on 800 adolescents who were recruited using random sampling from communities in Hubei Province, China in 2023, and 232 of them were identified to have mobile phone addiction. Then, they were randomly divided into the experiment group, comprising 119 members, and the control group, composed of 113 members. The experiment group was given a 3-month intervention under the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model, whereas the control group was given no intervention.
This intervention significantly reduced the level of mobile phone addiction in adolescents (<0.05). It also significantly improved self-efficacy in adolescents with mobile phone addiction (<0.05). The intervention can significantly improved life satisfaction in adolescents with mobile phone addiction (<0.05). Self-efficacy and life satisfaction had a chain mediating effect (<0.001).
The HAPA model is conducive to alleviating mobile phone addiction. It further enhances the intervention effect by improving self-efficacy and life satisfaction in adolescents.
青少年手机成瘾是一个严重的社会问题，不仅对身心健康产生负面影响，还会阻碍社会稳定与发展。然而，针对青少年手机成瘾干预措施的研究仍然较少。因此，探索青少年手机成瘾的干预措施并审视相应的作用机制至关重要。
2023年在中国湖北省社区采用随机抽样的方法招募了800名青少年进行问卷调查，其中232人被确定为有手机成瘾问题。然后，他们被随机分为实验组（119名成员）和对照组（113名成员）。实验组在健康行动过程方法（HAPA）模型下接受为期3个月的干预，而对照组不接受干预。
这种干预显著降低了青少年的手机成瘾水平（<0.05）。它还显著提高了有手机成瘾问题青少年的自我效能感（<0.05）。该干预能显著提高有手机成瘾问题青少年的生活满意度（<0.05）。自我效能感和生活满意度具有链式中介效应（<0.001）。
HAPA模型有助于减轻手机成瘾。它通过提高青少年的自我效能感和生活满意度进一步增强了干预效果。
