Description détaillée
In this research, a sample of approximately N = 300 young adults will be initially enrolled for eligibility screening from public and private universities in Faisalabad and Sahiwal, Pakistan, using purposive sampling techniques. Participants will be aged between 18 and 28 years and will have no history of severe physical, psychiatric, or psychological disorders. After eligibility assessment and screening based on standardized measures, N = 80 participants will be selected and randomly allocated to the experimental and waitlist control groups.
This study is expected to provide valuable evidence for mental health practitioners regarding effective interventions for managing social media addiction among young adults. The 4-STEP Training Program is anticipated to enhance participants' awareness and understanding of problematic digital behaviors, including doomscrolling and cyberchondriac behavior. The intervention is also expected to reduce depressive symptoms and health anxiety, improve self-regulation and promote healthier digital habits. Furthermore, the program is expected to enhance psychological well-being, academic functioning, and overall productivity while significantly reducing levels of social media addiction.

Échelle de dépendance aux réseaux sociaux (SNAS)
Délai: Lors du dépistage, après 4 semaines, et réévaluation jusqu'à 6 mois
|
L'échelle de dépendance aux réseaux sociaux (SNAS) a été développée pour mesurer la dépendance à toutes les formes de réseaux sociaux à travers six dimensions d'importance (éléments 1 à 4), de modification de l'humeur (éléments 5 à 7), de tolérance (éléments 8 à 10), de retrait ( points 11 à 14), conflit (points 15 à 17) et rechute (points 18 à 21) (Shahnawaz et Rehman, 2020).
Le SNAS est une échelle autodéclarée qui comprend 21 éléments notés sur une échelle de Likert en 7 points allant de 1 (fortement en désaccord) à 7 (fortement d'accord).
Le score peut aller de 21 à 147.
Tout score supérieur à un score total de 84 signifie une dépendance.
L'échelle a démontré une bonne fiabilité test-retest de 0,88 et une bonne validité, comme le rapportent Shahnawaz et Rehman (2020).

Cyberchondria Severity Scale (CSS-12)
Délai: At screening, after 4 weeks, and reassessment up to 6 months
|
The Cyberchondria Severity Scale-12 (CSS-12), developed by Eoin McElroy et al. (2019), is a 12-item self-report measure assessing excessive, anxiety-provoking online health searches across four dimensions: compulsion, distress, excessiveness, and reassurance-seeking.
Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Never to 5 = Always), with total scores ranging from 12-60; higher scores indicate greater cyberchondria.
The scale is brief, reliable, and valid, suitable for both clinical and non-clinical populations, and widely used to evaluate problematic health-related online behavior.

|
Doomscrolling Scale (DS)
Délai: At screening, after 4 weeks, and reassessment up to 6 months
|
The Doomscrolling Scale was developed to assess compulsive engagement with negative online news content and excessive scrolling behavior, particularly during times of crisis (Sharma et al., 2022).
The scale measures three core dimensions: obsessive news consumption, emotional distress, and behavioral compulsion.
It is a self-report instrument consisting of 15 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (always).
The total score is calculated by summing all item responses, with higher scores indicating greater levels of doomscrolling behavior.
The scale has demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.88) and satisfactory construct validity (Sharma et al., 2022).

Short Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI)
Délai: At screening, after 4 weeks, and reassessment up to 6 months
|
The Short Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI) was developed to assess health-related anxiety and preoccupation with physical symptoms, independent of actual medical status (Salkovskis et al., 2002).
The scale measures two main dimensions: perceived likelihood of illness and perceived negative consequences of illness.
It is a self-report instrument consisting of 18 items, each presenting four response options scored from 0 to 3, reflecting increasing levels of health anxiety.
Total scores range from 0 to 54, with higher scores indicating greater levels of health anxiety.
The SHAI has demonstrated excellent internal consistency, with reported Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.86 to 0.95, and strong convergent and construct validity.
The HAI is a reliable and valid measure of health anxiety (Salkovskis et al., 2002).

Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)
Délai: At screening, after 4 weeks, and reassessment up to 6 months
|
The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was developed to measure the severity of depressive symptoms based on the diagnostic criteria of major depressive disorder (Kroenke et al., 2001).
The scale assesses nine core symptoms of depression, including low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, sleep disturbances, appetite changes, concentration difficulties, feelings of worthlessness, psychomotor changes, and suicidal ideation.
The PHQ-9 is a self-report instrument consisting of 9 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day).
Total scores range from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating greater severity of depressive symptoms.
The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) is a self-administered version of the PRIME-MD diagnostic instrument for common mental disorders(The PHQ-9 - Kroenke - 2001 - Journal of General Internal Medicine - Wiley Online Library, 2001).
