Many people spend hours on the internet every week -- but some people can't pull away.

每个星期,有许多人花许多个小时沉浸在网络世界中--但是有些人离不开网络了。

For individuals with internet addiction, there's a type of short-term therapy that can be an effective treatment, according to a small study published Wednesday in the medical journal JAMA Psychiatry.

根据周三“美国医学会杂志(JAMA)精神病学刊”周三发表的一项小型研究的结果,那些对网络成瘾的人,可以通过一个短期的治疗戒除网瘾。

Researchers found that 69.4% of men with internet addiction entered remission if they received short-term cognitive behavioral therapy, compared to 23.9% of men who entered remission while being on a waitlist to receive therapy.

研究人员发现,69.4%的网瘾患者在接受短期认知行为治疗后会得到缓解,而在等待接受治疗的名单上得到缓解的男性有23.9%。

remission:缓解

People in remission were 10 times more likely to be part of the short-term cognitive behavioral therapy group than the waitlist control group.

与等待名单组相比,参与短期认知行为治疗的人获得缓解的可能性高出10倍

"This indicates a strong treatment effect for subjects suffering from internet addiction or gaming disorder," said Klaus Wölfling, lead author of the study, in a podcast for JAMA Psychiatry. Wölfling is a researcher in the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy at the University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz in Germany.

这项研究的主要作者克劳斯·沃夫林在JAMA精神病学的一个视频播放中说:“这表明对患有网络成瘾或游戏障碍的受试者有很强的治疗效果。”沃夫林是德国美因茨约翰内斯古登堡大学医学中心身心医学和心理治疗系的研究员。

Psychosomatic:心身;身心症

For this study, researchers used a broader definition of internet addiction, to include patients who were addicted to gaming, social networks, pornography, online surfing or general internet use. The prevalence of internet addiction is estimated to be 6% worldwide.

在这项研究中,研究人员使用了更广泛的网络成瘾定义,包括那些沉迷于游戏、社交网络、色情、在线冲浪或一般互联网使用的患者。据估计,全球网络成瘾的流行率为6%。

prevalence:流行

15 weeks of therapy 15周的治疗周期

The study looked at 143 men between the ages of 17 and 55 across four outpatient clinics in Germany and Austria, who met criteria for internet addiction based on scores from the Assessment of Internet and Computer Game Addiction, a standardized survey used in the field.

这项研究调查了德国和奥地利四家门诊诊所的143名年龄在17至55岁之间的男性,他们根据互联网和电脑游戏成瘾评估(该领域使用的一项标准化调查)得出的分数达到了网络成瘾的标准。

The short-term cognitive behavioral therapy consisted of 15 weeks of group and individual sessions. The program was divided into three phases: education about the addiction, psychotherapeutic intervention -- such as showing healthy use of the internet -- and "focus on relapse prevention techniques and transition into everyday life," according to Wölfling.

短期认知行为治疗包括15周的集体和个人疗程。根据沃夫林的说法,该治疗分为三个阶段:关于成瘾的教育、心理治疗干预——比如展示对互联网的健康使用方式——以及“关注预防复发技术并过渡到日常生活”。

relapse:复发

The study assessed only men because they are the predominant patients for internet addiction in the clinics, according to Wölfling.

根据沃夫林透露,这项研究仅针对男性,因为他们是诊所中网络成瘾的主要患者。

predominant:占优势的,主导的

Those in the short-term cognitive therapy group had a follow-up assessment after six months. Researchers looked at self-reports of internet addiction behaviors and symptoms.

短期认知治疗组的患者在6个月后得到了随访评估。研究人员研究了网络成瘾行为和症状的自我总结。

At the end of treatment, patients in the therapy group showed lower self-reported addiction symptoms such as withdrawal, preoccupation and time spent online, and better social, work and day-to-day functioning.

治疗结束时,治疗组的患者自我认定了较低状态的网络成瘾症状,如戒断、专注做事和较短的在线时间,以及更好的社交、工作和日常生活功能。

This was the first randomized, clinical trial across multiple clinics that looked at the treatment for internet addiction, future randomized controlled trials should have better patient retention, include women and be longer in duration, according to Wölfling.

根据沃夫林的研究,这是第一个在多个诊所进行的随机临床试验,研究网络成瘾的治疗方法,未来的随机对照试验应具有更好的患者保留率,包括女性,并且持续时间更长。

retention:保留,保持
