Purpose: This study examined the brain attention biofeedback self-regulation training (BABST) effects on attention, multidimensional impulsivity, emotional response intensity, and self-regulated learning ability of school-aged children in the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: A pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design was used. There were 36 school-aged children in the experimental and control groups. The experimental groups received 10 BABSTsessions for 4 weeks. The data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnova, Shapiro-Wilk, MannWhitney U, Wilcoxon signed-rank, and Quade Two-Way ANCOVA by ranks for non-parametric tests.Results: All the variables showed homogeneity between the two groups except academic stress that was controlled as a covariate. The experimental group ranked significantly higher in attention (F=4.43, <i>p</i>=.043), cognitive impulsivity (F=9.70, <i>p</i>=.004), behavior impulsivity (F=11.21, <i>p</i>=.032), emotional response intensity (F=21.94, <i>p</i><.001), self-regulated learning ability (F=8.71, <i>p</i>=.006) than the control group.Conclusion: The brain attention biofeedback self-regulation program, as a brain neurocognitive-based nursing intervention, markedly improved attention, impulsivity, emotional response intensity, and self-regulated learning ability in school-aged children.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
