“…Overall, the results of this study advance prior evaluations of training simulations by moving the setting of the study from ideal research conditions into the real-world classroom (Mastroleo et al 2020). Given that a recent systematic review found seven publications focused on virtual reality and computer simulations in social work education (Huttar and BrintzenhofeSzoc 2020), the literature on these topics is still in its infancy.…”

“…The CASES consist of 15 self-reported items (scaled "0 = no confidence" to "9 = complete confidence") that evaluate one's confidence in performing counseling skills. In addition to generating a total score reflecting overall confidence in skills, we organized the individual counseling skills into three domains-exploration skills, insight skills, and action skills-based on prior research (Mastroleo et al 2020). The exploration skills included five basic communication items: attending, listening, reflection of feelings, restating, and asking openended questions.…”

“…These technologies facilitate an immersive learning experience where students can repeatedly interact with virtual clients to safely practice their skills (Dodds et al 2018). Specifically, students learn to use psychosocial techniques such as client engagement, mental and behavioral health screening, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing (MI; Huttar and BrintzenhofeSzoc 2020;Mastroleo et al 2020;O'Brien et al 2019;Putney et al 2019a, b;Washburn et al 2020).…”

“…The authors chose simulations focused on MI and CBT because they are among the most versatile and empirically validated psychosocial treatments (Hofmann et al 2012;Randall and McNeil 2017). Moreover, the Brief MI and Introducing CBT simulations were recently examined and found to be efficacious (when delivered and evaluated under ideal research conditions) at enhancing clinical skills (Mastroleo et al 2020;Putney et al 2019a, b). These existing evaluations informed our decision to implement these simulations in the course.…”

Although masters-level social work students typically build clinical skills via role-playing with their peers or instructors, several innovative training simulations are emerging in the literature that may enhance existing skill-building methodologies. We evaluated the initial feasibility, acceptability, usability, and effectiveness of three computerized simulations (two cognitive behavioral therapy, one motivational interviewing) during an interpersonal practice course among 22 students in a Master of Social Work program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Trainees repetitively practiced their clinical skills with virtual clients while receiving feedback via real-time nonverbal cues, transcript review, and performance assessment across pre-specified theoretical learning objectives. Across the three simulations, at least 86.4% of students completed the required protocol and completed M = 468.95 (SD = 178.27) minutes of simulated sessions. Students improved their scores (range 0 to 100) across all the simulations from M = 63.41 (SD = 11.13) to M = 93.64 (SD = 3.24). Students found the simulations to be acceptable with strong usability. Paired sample t-tests revealed students reported greater self-efficacy in general clinical skills, exploration skills, insight skills, and action skills between pre-test and post-test after completing the simulations (all p < 0.001). Students reported that the clinical skills learned from the simulations translated into successful interactions with real-world clients during their field placements. We discuss the results of this initial feasibility study within the context of simulation-based learning and the potential for broader implementation within MSW programs.

“…CBT counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques can reduce online game addiction in the aspect of tolerance. desire someone to get access tools such as gadgets to get a better internet network, someone's dignity in adding interesting social networking applications, and can not stop not playing online games (Mastroleo et al, 2020). This concerns the extent to which someone can not stop when playing online games.…”

In schools there are still many students who experience academic disorders such as lazy learning, often neglecting assignments, often skipping school, this is because one of them is because students are addicted to playing online games. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques to reduce online game addiction behavior of students. This research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental method. The population in this study were students who were addicted to online games. Sampling using a purposive sampling technique, so that the subjects in the experimental group were 8 students and the control group was 8 students. Data collection was done using online game addiction scale that has been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis using score gain testing. The results showed that CBT cognitive restructuring techniques were effective in reducing online game addiction on students. The CBT cognitive restructuring techniques are effective in reducing online game addiction on students.
