The aim of this study is to examine the effect of solution-focused group counseling on reducing smartphone addiction among university students. The research is an experimental study with experimental-control group with pre-test, post-test and follow-up measurement design. The study group of the research consisted of 22 university students (10 females and 12 males). 11 of these students are in the experimental group (5 females and 6 males) and 11 of them are in the control (5 females and 6 males) group. A solution-focused group psychological counseling program was applied to the experimental group to reduce smartp-hone addiction, consisting of six sessions (90-120 minutes once a week) developed by the researcher. Kontrol grubuna ise herhangi bir çalışma yapılmamıştır. In this study, "Smartphone Addiction Scale" and "Personal Information Form" were used as data collection tools. The data obtained from this study were analyzed using the Mann Whitney U Test and the Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test. The findings of the study revealed that the solution-focused group was more effective than the control group. In addition, it was observed that this effectiveness was preserved with the follow-up studies carried out at the end of three months
