- Background
This study analyzes and evaluates the effectiveness of various interventions designed to prevent internet and smartphone addiction among elementary school students based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model.
Methods
An integrative literature review examined studies published in the last ten years that focus on preventive interventions for internet and smartphone addiction among elementary school students. The selected studies were analyzed using the IMB model, which includes information, motivation, and behavioral skills as key components.
Results
The analysis identified several critical components of effective prevention programs: providing relevant information, enhancing interpersonal relationships, emotional management, self-control, and impulse control skills. Effective programs often included group interventions, visual aids, play activities, and parental involvement.
Conclusions
The findings suggest that balanced integration of information, motivation, and behavioral skills is essential for developing effective prevention programs for internet and smartphone addiction among elementary school students. The study provides a foundation for future research and the development of comprehensive prevention programs tailored to the unique characteristics of this age group.
