Twenty-four adolescents (aged 9–14 years) participated in a structured residential camp featuring creative visual arts, collaborative projects, and expressive therapeutic activities. Assessments conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up showed significant improvements in IGD symptoms, particularly Withdrawal (ηp2 =.497) and Reality Perception Disturbance (ηp2 =.540). Parent-reported behavioral measures revealed significant reductions in anxious/depressed symptoms (d = 0.83), aggressive behavior (d = 1.01), and total problems (d = 1.57). While improvements in self-regulatory efficacy were observed post-intervention, changes in self-esteem and school adjustment were nonsignificant. Findings suggest that immersive creative experiences can address IGD symptoms and associated behavioral problems by providing alternative achievement structures, enhancing emotional expression, and fostering social skills development. Art therapy approaches may effectively complement existing treatment strategies for adolescent IGD. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: clinical trial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
