About this trial

This clinical study aims to learn whether a psychological resilience training program is helpful for children aged 10 to 12 years. The program is designed to help children cope better with stress, get along better with others, and use digital media in a healthier way.

The main questions this study seeks to answer are:

Does the training increase children's psychological resilience?

Does it improve children's social adjustment and close relationships with family and friends?

Does it help reduce problematic media use?

Children who take part in the study are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group takes part in a psychological resilience training program, and the other group does not receive any training during the study period. Children and their parents complete questionnaires before the program and again after the program is completed.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE

Psychological resilience will be measured using the Children and Youth Resilience Measure-12 (CYRM-12). This scale assesses children's ability to cope with stress and challenging life situations. Total scores range from 12 to 60, with higher scores indicating greater psychological resilience.

Time frame
Time Frame: Baseline (before the intervention) and follow-up (one month after completion of the training program)

Secondary outcomes

1

SOCIAL ADJUSTMENT

Social adjustment will be measured using the Social Adjustment Scale (SUÖ). This scale assesses children's ability to adapt to social rules, interact effectively with peers, and function appropriately in social settings. Total scores range from 55 to 275, with higher scores indicating better social adjustment.

Time frame
Time Frame: Baseline (before the intervention) and follow-up (one month after completion of the training program)
2

PROBLEMATIC MEDIA USE

Problematic media use will be assessed using the Problematic Media Use Scale (PMKÖ), a parent-reported measure that evaluates children's difficulties in controlling and regulating digital media and screen use. Scores are calculated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating more problematic media use.

Time frame
Time Frame: Baseline (before the intervention) and follow-up (one month after completion of the training program)
3

PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP

Parent-child relationship will be assessed using the Parent-Child Relationship Scale (EÇİÖ), a parent-reported instrument consisting of 15 items that assess both positive and negative dimensions of the parent-child relationship. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 5 (extremely). Higher scores on the positive subscale indicate more positive relationship characteristics, whereas higher scores on the negative subscale indicate more negative relationship characteristics.

Time frame
Time Frame: Baseline (before the intervention) and follow-up (one month after completion of the training program)
