First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether playing traditional children's games, led by a nurse, can lower internet use and stress in middle school students aged 10-12 who spend more than two hours online daily. Participants play games for 60 minutes, three times a week for eight weeks, while a control group continues usual school activities. The goal is to see if this fun, low-cost approach can support healthier habits and well-being.
