Abstract

This study investigates the usability and effectiveness of a newly adapted digital intervention aimed at individuals struggling with internet gaming disorder. Building upon content derived from a previous group therapy intervention, the intervention was tailored for online use and infused with mindfulness-based principles. Additionally, gamification elements were incorporated to enhance motivation and treatment adherence. Through a rigorous examination, the study evaluates the usability and efficacy of this digital intervention in addressing internet gaming disorder. Findings shed light on the feasibility and potential impact of employing mindfulness and gamification strategies in digital interventions targeting problematic gaming behaviors.
