Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adolescent Occupational Balance Scale | Baseline | The scale measures occupational balance. According to the four-point Likert rating, the lowest raw score to be taken from the scale is 27, and the highest raw score is 108. It takes approximately 15-20 min to respond to the whole scale. A high score obtained from the scale indicates a high level of occupational balance. |
| Teenage Executive Functioning Inventory | Baseline | The scale measures executive functioning. It is a 5-point Likert type inventory and includes statements scored from 1 to 5 (1: Definitely not true, 5: Definitely true). Higher scores represent more difficulty with executive functions. The lowest score to be taken from the scale is 20, and the highest score is 100. |
| Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory | Baseline | The scale measures quality of life. It is a 23-item measurement tool. Items are reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale (0 = 100, 1 = 75, 2 = 50, 3= 25, 4 = 0), so that higher scores indicate better quality of life. This instrument yields a Total score, Physical Health Summary score (Equivalent to the Physical Functioning subscale) and Psychosocial Health Summary score (Based on the Emotional Functioning subscale, Social Functioning subscale, and School Functioning subscale). The lowest score to be taken from the scale is 0, and the highest score is 100. |
| Internet Gaming Disorder Scale | Baseline | The scale measures internet gaming disorder severity. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 20 and the highest score is 100. Higher scores indicate a more severe disorder. |
| Sociodemographic Information Form | Baseline | Measures sociodemographic information |
