Psychoeducation, Gadget Addiction, Screen Time Management, Children with Special NeedsAbstract
Children with special needs are more vulnerable to the negative impacts of excessive screen time due to limitations in communication, auditory processing, and developing self-regulation skills. This study aims to determine the effect of psychoeducation in improving parents' and teachers' knowledge of screen time management strategies to overcome gadget addiction in children with special needs. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with 31 respondents . The instrument used was a questionnaire with 15 questions. The analysis results showed an increase in the average score from the pretest (M = 13.65; SD = 0.877) to the posttest (M = 14.94; SD = 0.250). Statistical tests showed a significant difference (t = -8.597; p < 0.001), which means psychoeducation is effective in improving respondents' understanding of screen time management.
