Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: intervention; Using the simple random numbers table from the population in the risk group, 60 randomly selected students will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups as 30 students. A two-stage stratified random method will be used in order to make assignments to the intervention and control groups equally and homogeneously. Firstly; The class and gender strata determined by scanning the literature will be created. Afterwards, each class and the male and female students in these classes will be determined. Then, the students in each stratum will be assigned to the intervention and control groups according to the two-layer random method, one intervention and one control.	Behavioral: SOLUTION FOCUSED APPROACH; The interviews with the control group were planned as eight sessions. There will be defined time intervals between sessions. It is estimated to take 6 months.
No Intervention: control; Using the simple random numbers table from the population in the risk group, 60 randomly selected students will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups as 30 students. A two-stage stratified random method will be used in order to make assignments to the intervention and control groups equally and homogeneously. Firstly; The class and gender strata determined by scanning the literature will be created. Afterwards, each class and the male and female students in these classes will be determined. Then, the students in each stratum will be assigned to the intervention and control groups according to the two-layer random method, one intervention and one control.

Primary Outcome Measures

Social Media Addiction Scale	The Social Media Addiction Scale was developed by Tutgun-Ünal and Deniz (2015) in order to measure the social media addiction of university students and all validity and reliability studies were carried out.

Self-Efficacy-Efficacy Scale	The Self-Efficacy Efficiency scale, developed by Sherer et al. (1982) and adapted into Turkish by Gözüm and Aksayan (1999), is a 5-point Likert-type scale and includes 23 items.
