Abstract

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, p=.043), cognitive impulsivity (F=9.70, p=.004), behavior impulsivity (F=11.21, p=.032), emotional response intensity (F=21.94, p<.001), self-regulated learning ability (F=8.71, p=.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.
