Abstract

There are increasingly more prevention and intervention programs concerning internet risks. However, most of them do not consider the breadth of the existing risks of both the relational and dysfunctional use of technology. The main objective of this study was to confirm the effectiveness indicators of the multi-risk internet prevention program (Safety.net). This program, consisting of 16 sessions (1 hour/session), promotes general skills for adequate internet use and prevents eight risks: cyberbullying, sexting, online grooming, cyber dating abuse, problematic internet use, nomophobia, internet gaming disorder, and online gambling. It has a networked instructional design to remember the contents already addressed as as the program progresses. The sample comprised 726 adolescents (54% girls) between 11-14 years (M = 12.11, SD = 0.89). For its evaluation, a pre/post-test repeated-measures design was used with an intervention group (n = 450) and a control group (n = 276). The intervention group showed significant improvements compared to the control group in peer cybervictimization, cyber dating victimization, sexual solicitation/interaction with adults, problematic internet use, and nomophobia. These results suggest that the Safety.net program effectively prevents the increase of most internet risks assessed through a reduced number of sessions. This is a potential psychoeducational tool to be integrated into tutorial action plans.

Resumen

Cada vez existen más programas de prevención e intervención sobre riesgos de internet. Sin embargo, la mayoría de ellos no tienen en cuenta la amplitud de los riesgos existentes tanto en el uso relacional como disfuncional de la tecnología. El principal objetivo de este estudio ha sido confirmar los indicadores de eficacia del programa de prevención multirriesgo de internet (Safety.net). Este programa, que consta de 16 sesiones (1 hora/sesión), promueve competencias generales para un adecuado uso de internet, y previene ocho riesgos: ciberacoso, sexteo, ciberembaucamiento, abuso online en la pareja, uso problemático de internet, nomofobia, trastorno por juego en internet y trastorno de apuestas online. Tiene un diseño instructivo en red para recordar los contenidos ya abordados a medida que avanza el programa. La muestra está formada por 726 adolescentes (54% chicas) entre 11–14 años (M = 12.11, DT = 0.89). Para su evaluación se ha utilizado un diseño de medidas repetidas pre/post-test con un grupo de intervención (n = 450) y un grupo de control (n = 276). El grupo de intervención muestra mejoras significativas en comparación con el grupo de control en cibervictimización entre iguales y en la pareja, solicitación/interacción sexual con adultos, uso problemático de internet y nomofobia. Estos resultados sugieren que el programa Safety.net puede ser eficaz para prevenir el aumento de la mayoría de los riesgos de internet evaluados mediante un número reducido de sesiones. Se trata de una herramienta psicoeducativa potencial para integrar en los planes de acción tutorial.
