This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness training on sleep quality, mood and anxiety symptoms, and addiction symptoms to online games in adolescents. The present research was semi-experimental with a pretest and posttest design and control group. The research population was 9th and 10th-grade male students addicted to the online game of one district of Ahvaz city in the 2021-2022 academic years. Several 30 people were selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned into two equal groups. The experimental group underwent 8 sessions of 90 minutes of mindfulness training. The research tools included the demographic information form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI, Buysee et al, 1989), Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Questionnaire (MASQ, Wardenaar et al, 2010), and Online Game Questionnaire (OGQ, Whang and Chang, 2002). Data were analyzed by tests of chi-square and multivariate analysis of covariance. The findings showed that by controlling the pretest effect, there was a significant difference between the posttest average of sleep quality, mood, and anxiety symptoms, and addiction symptoms to online games in adolescents at a level smaller than 0.001. According to the results of this study, counselors and therapists can use mindfulness training methods along with other training methods to improve the psychological characteristics of adolescents.
