The Effect of Care Based on the Salutogenesis Model

Turkey (Türkiye)30 participantsStarted 2024-04-01

Plain-language summary

On the basis of the Salutogenesis Model, this study is based on the development of individuals' internal and external resources for game addictions and strengthening their sense of integrity. It has been determined that digital game addiction and problematic internet use in adolescents form the basis of seven problems. These problems have been identified as mental health, vision, pain, sleep and rest patterns, nutrition, social contact and physical activity. Encouraging behavioral changes regarding internet use and teaching adolescents how to deal with these problems becomes a necessity in today's technology. In the literature, counseling has been provided for families and adolescents to prevent digital game addiction in adolescents. Care based on the salutogenesis model has never been studied in the world, but in Turkey, Uzdil et al. used the model in patient care by adapting it to care. Additionally, studies have suggested designing school-based intervention programs to prevent and reduce digital game addiction. In this context, the aim of the study is to improve coping with stress and eliminate digital game addiction by strengthening the sense of integrity of Care Based on the Salutogenesis Model in Preventing Digital Game Addiction in Adolescents.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
