The study group for the research comprised 39 university students (22 females 56%, 17 males 44%) . In this study, the Personal Information Form, Interview Form and Problematic Internet Use Scale were used as data collection tools. Analysis of data used the ANOVA for mixed measures and content analysis of interviews with participants in the solution-focused group counseling program about increasing healthy Internet use about their experiences. In the results of the research, it was determined that the solution-focused group was more effective than the guidance group and the control group. It was determined that the guidance group was also more effective than the control group. In addition, it was determined that this differentiation in the groups continued to be effective in the follow-up measurements made 3 months after the completion of the application.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Solution-focused therapy, solution-focused group counseling, healthy internet use, problematic internet use, university students. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding [author.

The benefits offered by the Internet of access to available information online, research, use related to work and communication, gaming, socialization and self-expression have caused more use of the Internet by young people especially. Case studies of young people revealed that young people are a more sensitive group to Internet use because they spend a lot of time on the Internet and they experience deficiencies in their personal, social and academic performances. This situation which forms a source of worry for the young population is qualified as problematic Internet use and is defined as risky, excessive or impulsive Internet use causing negative life outcomes like notable physical, emotional social or functional disorder (Mihajlov and Vejmelka, 2017; Moreno, Jelenchick and Breland, 2015; Prasad et al. , 2017; Tserkovnikova et al. ,  \n2016 ; Wallace, 2014) .  \nThe need for studies about treatment and therapy approaches for Internet problems among young people is increasing. Studies have been performed about the effectiveness of some psychotherapy approaches to resolve this problem and additionally, meta-analysis studies were completed reviewing these studies. A metaanalysis study up to 2017 revealed that group counseling programs, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and sport interventions significantly reduced problematic Internet use (Liu et al. , 2017) . In light of this information, it appears studies about coping with Internet problems have been oriented towards cognitive approach (Lindenberg et al. , 2017 ; Liu et al. , 2017), realistic approach (Kim, 2008), positive psychology approach (Khazaei et al. , 2017) and integrative approaches (Chun et al. , 2017) and successful results have been obtained.  \nSağar and Özabaci 15  \nThese studies in the literature reveal that studies based on ","cbCailWtBTriP2Ka","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailWtBTriP2Ka","pdf",271708,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What are the two intervention approaches compared in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study compares a solution-focused group counseling program and a group guidance program, both aimed at promoting healthy Internet use among university students.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the effectiveness evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"Effectiveness was evaluated using mixed-measures ANOVA and content analysis of participant interviews, based on data from the Personal Information Form, Interview Form, and Problematic Internet Use Scale.\"},{\"question\":\"Which group showed the strongest improvement and did it last after the program?\",\"answer\":\"The solution-focused group counseling was more effective than both the guidance group and the control group.
