11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

11.1. Nowadays students are living in an open society where they exchange, contact with many cultures. They live in a civilized but also hazardous environment and are easily affected by many negative factors. Addiction to online game (OG) is a popular negative phenomenon and increasingly be more alarming, especially among pupils and students. Internet and OG are one of the factors affecting their mentality and the formation of their personality and social relationships. Groups of friends (informal groups), gender distinction, living conditions (family, school, surrounding communities), age-based mentality, etc. are important factors affecting students' addiction to online games.

11.2. The results of this study also reflect on the status of OG addiction of students at different frequencies and varying degrees.

11.3. No matter being considered seriously or not, the consequences of OG addiction have negative impacts on students' learning activities, the process of cognitive-emotional development and surrounding relationships.

11.4. Currently, means or methods to reduce OG in schools have very little attention. Therefore, the application of social work intervention with groups is a new approach at the schools where we are conducting research. With this approach, the effectiveness of the initial intervention is successful. All objectives have been achieved at a certain level. Then, it is to propose the model of social work with groups in which social workers in school have important roles to help students reduce their current addicting behavior to OG more practically and effectively.
