Compared with before intervention,the students with time online less than 2 h and more than 4 h in intervention group after the intervention were significantly increased and decreased,respectively( P 0. 01), the differences in two groups were statistical significance( P 0. 01). The scores of SCL-90 and all factors and negative dealing measures in intervention group after intervention were significantly lowered than those in intervention group before intervention and control group( P 0. 01),the score of positive dealing measures in intervention group after intervention was significantly higher than that in control group( P 0. 01).
