Abstract
Children’s environments are rich with screen media, however, very little research describing screen media use for children in the hospital setting exists. Despite innovative uses of screen media by Certified Child Life Specialists to strengthen coping and provide comfort to hospitalized children, there is little guidance for how best to use screen media in addition to the gap in research. This study surveyed child life specialists in pediatric inpatient settings to describe screen media use in hospitalized children. Using online surveys, child life specialists reported some novel uses of screen media to aid in patient care and education and identified underutilization of media to educate patients. Further studies can build off of ours to assess the potential benefits and setbacks of screen use in hospitalized children.
