Summary

his randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led traditional children's games program on weekly internet use and perceived stress among middle school students in Türkiye. Students who used the internet for more than two hours per day were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group.

The intervention group participated in a structured traditional children's games program for 60 minutes, three times per week for eight weeks, while the control group continued their usual school activities. Weekly internet use and perceived stress were assessed before and after the intervention. The study evaluated whether participation in traditional children's games could reduce internet use and perceived stress and support school-based health promotion led by nurses.
