Internet gaming disorder: The prevalence and associated gaming behavior, anxiety, and depression among 8-12-year-old children of private schools in Salem city, India.

The escalating concern over Internet gaming disorder (IGD) among children underscores the urgency of comprehending its determinants and links to mental health, particularly for interventions targeting school-aged children. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of IGD and its association with depression, anxiety, and behavior among 8-12-year-old children attending private schools in Salem city. A cross-sectional study involving 780 children aged 8-12 years from Salem district was conducted. Schools were randomly sampled, and data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Data were gathered from children without genetic, systemic, or mental disorders and brain trauma. The questionnaire, adapted from Alhamoud M A et al. (2022), encompassed sections on sociodemographic characteristics, gaming behavior, and scales for assessing IGD, depression, and anxiety. Administration occurred during school hours with a 30-35 min completion time. Data analysis utilized SPSS v23.0, including descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Chi-square tests for intergroup comparisons, and Pearson's correlation coefficient to determine associations. The prevalence of IGD in Salem district was 1.2%, with higher rates of anxiety and depression observed among older children, particularly males. A positive correlation was evident between IGD, anxiety, and depression. Urgent preventive measures have to be warranted to curb the rising trend of IGD, such as limiting screen time and promoting outdoor activities to enhance children's overall health.

Interactive learning environment as a source of critical thinking skills for college students

BackgroundThe cognitive skills underlying critical thinking include analysis, interpretation, evaluation, explanation, inference, and self-regulation. The study aims to consider the possibility and effectiveness of introducing the mobile game Lumosity: Brain Training into the learning process of first-year Philology students studying at Qiqihar University.MethodsThe sample included 30 volunteers: 15 girls and 15 boys, whose average age was 18.4 years. Before the experiment start, the respondents took a pre-test based on the Critical Thinking Skills Success methodology, which was developed by the American scientist Starkey. It was stated that intensive one-month training with the use of the Lumosity premium application in the classroom would improve critical thinking skills.ResultsThe pre-test results showed that some respondents had had quite good critical thinking skills before the experiment as the average score was 22.13 out of 30 points. The effectiveness was evaluated using the Student’s t-test for paired samples. It is established that there are significant differences between standard and empirical values (p = 0.012).ConclusionsThe research can be of interest to those who study the issue of integrating an interactive learning environment into university and student programs, as well as those who consider critical thinking as a field of scientific knowledge and seek to develop critical thinking skills. The novelty of the study is the fact that students were allowed to use the app only during classes, but the research hypothesis was confirmed. This indicates that an interactive learning environment can be considered as a tool for developing students’ critical thinking skills in the context of limited screen time.

Quiet Time Means No Screen Time: A Project Aiming to Increase Restful Sleep within the Pediatric Acute Care Unit

AbstractThe use of blue-light-emitting smart devices prior to bedtime has been identified as one of the reasons of increased pediatric sleep disturbances and poor sleep quantity. Interrupted sleep is a risk factor for healing and well-being in the pediatric acute ward. The aim of this project was to promote high-quality sleep within our pediatric ward by implementing a standardized protocol that eliminated exposure to electronic blue light prior to bedtime, per recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Our objective was to promote enhanced quantity of sleep and healing by restricting and removing all smart devices during nighttime hours in the pediatric acute ward. We utilized the Bedtime issues, Excessive daytime sleepiness, night Awakenings, Regularity and duration of Sleep, and Snoring validated screening tool, Children Sleep Habit Questionnaire, and included a survey question regarding smart device use to evaluate patients' sleep routine. After the implementation of “no screen time” innovation, patients' and parents' quantity of sleep and total restful hours was reassessed and pre/post results analyzed. The pilot project evaluated 57 patients aged 18 months to 19 years with varying admitting diagnoses. The quiet time innovation results demonstrated improved length and reported uninterrupted sleep among patients. Eliminating electronic screens during evening (sleeping) hours in the acute care setting was associated with improved sleep among pediatric patients, enhancing potential for recovery, promoting well-being, and modeling effects of limiting screen time for participants.

From Screens to Sunshine: Rescuing Children’s Outdoor Playtime in the Digital Era

In today’s digital era, the decline in children’s outdoor playtime with excessive screen usage has raised concerns about their long-term physical health, mental well-being and overall development. This article highlights the importance of prioritizing and promoting outdoor play to ensure a balanced childhood experience. The decline in outdoor play can be attributed to factors such as increased technology usage, academic pressures, safety concerns and changing societal attitudes. However, outdoor play is crucial for children’s holistic development as it contributes to improved physical health, cognitive stimulation, social interaction and emotional well-being. The decline in outdoor play and excessive screen time has been associated with various health issues, including mental health problems, disrupted sleep patterns, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-like behavior and physical health risks. To reclaim outdoor playtime, practical strategies are proposed. These include reevaluating priorities to strike a balance between technology usage and outdoor activities, promoting nature education in schools, creating safe outdoor spaces, encouraging parental involvement, addressing safety concerns, limiting screen time, nurturing environmental stewardship, fostering collaboration between schools and communities and advocating for supportive policies. By implementing these strategies and shifting cultural norms, we can provide children with a healthier and more well-rounded childhood experience, supporting their overall well-being and development in the digital era.

Parental Education for Limiting Screen Time in Early Childhood: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Parental Education for Limiting Screen Time in Early Childhood: A Randomized Controlled Trial

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCREEN TIME AND EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT IN MEDICAL STUDENTS

Background The use of gadgets, especially smartphones, is common among college students. The duration of smartphone usage in a day can be seen through the screen time records. High screen time records indicate high smartphone usage. Excessive use of smartphones has the potential to disrupt social interaction. Emotional Quotient (EQ) is very important in supporting social interaction. Emotional Quotient is a person's ability to express his feelings appropriately and effectively. Objectives This research was conducted to know the relationship between screen time duration and EQ in college students. Methods This research is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. Respondents in this study were students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were recruited using the consecutive sampling method. The duration of the screen time is obtained from the default smartphone application. Emotional Quotient was measured with the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF) questionnaire. Results There were 90 respondents (male = 27 people; female = 63 people) with an average age of 19.4 + 0.69 years. Spearman's test showed a relationship between screen time duration and EQ (p<0.01; r=-0.97). Conclusions This study concludes that the duration of screen time is related to EQ, the higher the duration of screen time, the lower the EQ. Therefore, to prevent EQ deterioration, it is important to limit screen time.

Factors Associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder in School-Age Thai Children

Objective: To evaluate the associated factors in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Materials and Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional case-control study. Two hundred thirteen children aged 5 to 12 years were divided into two groups with 71 patients with ADHD and 142 pediatric patients without ADHD. Results: The mean age of participants in the case and control groups was 8.80±1.82 and 7.94±2.20 years, respectively. Notably, several factors exhibited significant differences between the group diagnosed with ADHD and the control group. These included male gender (AOR 5.79, 95% CI 2.54 to 13.2), age categories 7 to 9 years (AOR 4.38, 95% CI 1.61 to 11.86) and 10 to 12 years (AOR 2.89, 95% CI 1.01 to 8.30), screen time exceeding two hours daily (AOR 2.47, 95% CI: 1.05 to 5.83), and a family history of ADHD (AOR 15.66, 95% CI 1.29 to 190.83). Conclusion: The findings of the present study offer significant insights into the factors influencing ADHD. These factors are categorized into inherent characteristics, such as male gender, certain age groups, family history of ADHD, and behavioral-related factors. Among the behavioral factors, limiting screen time emerges as a key actionable strategy. Implementing measures to limit screen time and promoting activities that foster improved focus and concentration could potentially mitigate the risk of ADHD.

Perceived Quality of Life Is Related to a Healthy Lifestyle and Related Outcomes in Spanish Children and Adolescents: The Physical Activity, Sedentarism, and Obesity in Spanish Study.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for safeguarding the well-being and quality of life perception, appropriate growth, and development of children and adolescents, while also mitigating the risk of future adult-onset diseases. To assess associations between perceived quality of life and healthy lifestyle and related outcomes in Spanish children and adolescents. Cross-sectional analysis of 8-16-year-old children and adolescents (n = 3534) were included in the nationwide study of Physical Activity, Sedentarism, and Obesity in Spanish Youth (PASOS). Data were collected through (1) questionnaires on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), healthy lifestyle outcomes (dietary intake, physical fitness, sleep, and screen time), and (2) anthropometric measurements for weight status assessment. Data were analysed by logistic regression, using the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as the grouping variable. Participants with a lower HRQoL were those with a lower adherence to the MedDiet and lower achievement of the recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables. They were also less likely to follow the recommendations for screen time and sleep (with the exception of the weekend) compared to participants with a higher HRQoL. Participants with a lower HRQoL showed a lower healthy weight status and poorer physical fitness than those with a higher HRQoL. Healthy eating habits, healthy weight status (normal weight), appropriate sleep time, physical fitness, and limited screen time play a crucial role in the perceived quality of life in children and adolescents.

Association between daily screen time and risk of stroke among middle-aged and elderly people: research based on China health and nutrition survey.

We aimed to explore the independent associations between screen time and the risk of stroke among Chinese adults based on the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Data on Chinese adults aged older than 40 years from the CHNS in during 2004-2009 were selected. A total of 4,587 individuals were included in 2009, including screen time and the risk of stroke. Simultaneously, we traced the previous screen time to 2004 for those with outcome measures in 2009 (n = 2,100). Basic information, lifestyle, and screen behavior were obtained through face-to-face interviews and self-completed questionnaires. Anthropometric data collected included blood pressure, body weight, height, hip circumference, and waist circumference. Fasting blood was obtained for measurements of lipid and glucose levels. Cross-sectional analysis and cohort analysis were both performed using multivariate logistic regression. Of all participants, 3,004 (65.49%) participants spent more than 2 h per day on screen time. Taking the men who spent less than 2 h on screen per day as reference, the crude odds ratio (OR) of the high risk of stroke was 1.53 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.20-1.95] for the men who spent 2-3 h per day on screen and 2.37 (95% CI, 1.78-3.16) for the men who spent more than 3 h per day on screen. This difference remained significant after adjusting for confounding factors. No association was observed among women. However, in the cohort analysis with screen time in 2006 as the independent variable, the association between screen time and stroke risk was found both in men [OR, 1.83 (95% CI, 1.19-2.82)] and women [OR, 1.48 (95% CI, 1.10-1.99)]). We found that the high screen time was associated with an increased stroke risk, which was pronounced in men, warranting a universal need to limit screen time in order to improve health.

Associations between nature exposure, screen use, and parent–child relations: a scoping review protocol

BackgroundToday’s youth are growing up in an evolving digital world, and concerns about the potential detrimental effects of excessive screen use on biopsychosocial outcomes in childhood are mounting. Parents worry about the impacts of screen-use on their children’s wellbeing but at the same time frequently fail to meet their own ideal screen time limits regarding their children’s screen use. There is an opportunity to shift research focus away from inflexible and often unrealistic childhood screen time guidelines towards exploration of positive parenting strategies that may have multiple beneficial and significant effects on children’s screen-related outcomes. An emerging body of literature suggests that screen time and nature exposure act on psychosocial outcomes in contrasting ways. There is evidence to suggest that exposure to natural environments may counteract some of the potential negative psychosocial effects of excessive screen use; however, this relationship is poorly understood. The overarching aim of this scoping review is to source, categorise, and synthesise existing research exploring the associations between nature exposure, screen use, and parenting across childhood.MethodsThis mixed-methods systematic scoping review will be conducted following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework with methodological enhancements from Levac and associates and recommendations from the Joanna Briggs Institute’s methodological guidance for conducting scoping reviews. Five electronic databases will be searched from August 2022 onwards. Two reviewers will independently screen titles, abstracts, and full-text articles. Peer reviewed articles related to the constructs of nature exposure, screen use, and parent/child relations will be considered in the context of early to late childhood. Study characteristics will be collated using a data charting tool collaboratively developed by the research team. Evidence will be presented using tabular and textual form and described using qualitative thematic analysis.DiscussionThis review will gather information about how key definitions are conceptualised, defined, and measured across the literature and map existing trends and areas for future research. It is intended that this review will inform and guide future research direction, recommendations, and programs aimed at supporting parents to navigate the challenges of parenting in a digital age.OSF registrationhttps://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/TFZDV

A Qualitative Study on Parenting Practices to Sustain Adolescent Health Behaviors in American Indian Families.

American Indian (AI) adolescents who practice healthy behaviors of sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and limited screen time can lower their lifetime risk of diet-sensitive disease. Little is known about how AI parenting practices influence the health behaviors of youth. The objective of this qualitative study was to explore how a group of AI parents of youths at risk of disease influenced their youth's health behaviors after a family intervention. A secondary objective was to understand the role of AI parents in supporting and sustaining health behavior change in their youths following the intervention. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with AI parents (n = 11) and their young adolescents, 10-15 years old (n = 6). Parents reported facilitators to how they enacted healthy lifestyle behaviors, including family togetherness, routines, youth inclusion in cooking, and motivation due to a health condition in the family. Barriers to enacting healthy behaviors included a lack of time, a lack of access to health resources, negative role modeling, and the pervasiveness of screen media. Three major themes about the role of AI parenting emerged inductively from the interview data: "Parenting in nontraditional families", "Living in the American grab-and-go culture", and "Being there and teaching responsibility". The importance of culture in raising youths was emphasized. These findings inform strategies to promote long-term adherence to behavior changes within the intervention. This study contributes to public health conversations regarding approaches for AI youths and families, who are not well represented in previous health behavior research.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on healthy of children and families in Italy. Qualitative EPaS-ISS study

Abstract Background This study is the qualitative component of a national research carried out in collaboration with the WHO/Europe Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative. The aim was to explore the COVID-19 pandemic effects on health behaviours, needs, and psychosocial resources of children and their family in Italy. Methods According to the convergent parallel mixed-method, this qualitative study was carried out simultaneously with the quantitative one. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit parents, teachers, key respondents and children. The data were collected by online focus groups (FG) except the FG with children. FGs transcriptions were analysed through a categorical approach using NVivo. Results Six FGs were conducted between April-May 2022 (65 adults; 14 children). Participants highlight how the pandemic had consequences at multiple levels: individual, family, community and social. At the individual level, data showed how thinning out interpersonal relationships and emotional experiences affected children's psychosocial well-being and learning. As for nutrition, it was observed that food was used as both an emotional comfort (e.g. snack consumption) and an opportunity for family aggregation. The ban on going out and social distancing penalized movement and sport. The lack of physical activity and changes in daily routines also affected sleeping. The screen exposure increased due to distance learning and video calls; parents reported excessive use of video games and a difficulty in limiting screen time. The impact of the closures on foreign children and from deprived backgrounds, including school dropouts, was also an issue. Creative play, care of plants and animals, and activities with the family were some of the resources emerging. Conclusions Qualitative perspective enriches research on changes in children and families’ habits during the pandemic, showing needs and difficulties and suggesting some necessary actions for the health and education systems. Key messages • The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on children that might persist beyond the pandemic period. • Health and education policies must offer a compensatory response to the children and families’ needs.

Nurturing Healthy Media Consumption Habits in Early Childhood: A Social Campaign Approach

In contemporary society, the pervasive presence of digital devices has profoundly influenced the media consumption patterns of young children, presenting challenges and opportunities for their development. This study explores the impact of media content on early childhood and the urgent need for informed parental supervision. Utilizing a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, a comprehensive social campaign titled "Healthy Watching" was developed and implemented in Pontianak, Indonesia. The campaign aimed to empower parents, particularly mothers, with the knowledge and skills necessary to guide their children's media interactions effectively. Through educational seminars, videos, stickers, and social media platforms, the campaign fostered awareness about age-appropriate content, screen time limits, and the importance of active parental engagement. The campaign's efficacy was evaluated through stakeholder engagement and behavioral assessments of eight target mothers. The results indicate significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, emphasizing the campaign's success in promoting healthy media consumption habits. This study provides valuable insights into the design and implementation of social campaigns to address the challenges of digital media in early childhood.

O064 Screen Time, Sleep, and Behavioural Development in Preschool Children: Relationships Caregiver Rules and Perceptions of Screen Time

Abstract Sleep is highly important for children’s behaviour (Touchette et al., 2007). However, screen time is associated with poorer sleep (Janssen et al., 2020), and greater behavioural difficulties (Hinkley et al., 2018), but they are rarely investigated together. Caregivers’ rules and perceptions about screen time are also associated with children’s engagement with screens. Caregivers of preschoolers completed online questionnaires about children’s screen time, sleep-related behaviours (Child Sleep-Wake Scale), behaviour (Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL, 1.5-5)), person-social development (Ages and Stages Questionnaire-3 (ASQ-3)), and questions about their rules and perceptions of screen time. Greater screen times predicted lower personal-social scores, and better sleep-related behaviours predicted lower internalising scores. Greater screen times were predicted by caregivers’ tendency to disagree about limits on screen time and a greater inclination to think limits cause conflict. Lower child personal-social scores predicted caregivers’ tendency to disagree about screen time limits. Greater child externalising behaviours predicted caregivers’ belief that screen time helps calm their child and that time limits cause conflicts. Poorer child sleep also predicted caregivers’ tendency to think screen time limits cause conflict. Therefore, caregivers’ rules and perceptions are associated with children’s screen times, but also children’s behaviours are associated with caregivers’ rules and perceptions about screen time. This is concerning as screen time predicted poorer personal-social behaviours in children. Providing caregivers with alternative ways to manage behaviours and conflicts surrounding time limits could also help in managing children’s screen times. This could have long-term implications for healthy sleep, social, and behavioural development in children.

The shared reading of digital storybooks with young children: Parents’ perspectives

ABSTRACT The possibilities and challenges of digital technologies for young children are widely documented. However, parental guidelines place greater emphasis upon potential harms, advocating that parents limit their children’s screen time, or advise that parents simply read digital texts as they would a printed text. Our study investigated 22 Australian parents’ perspectives of their 2–3-year-old child’s experiences with digital devices and their views of reading digital storybooks to understand whether parents were cognisant of or engaged in practices that appeared to limit their child’s screen time, and whether parents noted any differences when shared reading printed and digital texts with their child. Results showed that many parents (1) limit screen time and therefore do not engage in shared digital text reading, consigning children’s screen time to unsupervised use; and (2) were aware that the reading of digital texts often is, and at times should differ to the reading of printed texts. These findings suggest that advising parents to limit screen time may result in parents avoiding the use of digital texts when shared reading with their child. Furthermore, recommending that parents read digital texts as they would printed texts may encourage parents to have unrealistic and/or frustrating expectations.

Associations between 24-h movement guidelines compliance and anxiety and depression among youth receiving special education services in the US

BackgroundYouth with disabilities are five times more likely to experience anxiety or depression than peers without disabilities. Engagement in sufficient daily physical activity (PA), adequate nightly sleep, and limited daily screen time (collectively known as 24-h movement guidelines) is associated with lower odds of anxiety and depression for peers without disabilities. Extending the investigation of these modifiable behaviors to youth with disabilities is warranted. ObjectiveTo estimate the association between meeting 24-h movement guidelines and anxiety and depression among a nationally representative sample of youth with disabilities. MethodsA cross-sectional secondary analysis of the 2019–2020 NSCH was conducted and included youth 6–17 years old who were currently receiving special education services. Weighted prevalence estimates and logistic regressions were employed to estimate the association between meeting guidelines (separately and combined) and current anxiety or depression status. ResultsCompared to youth with disabilities who met the guideline, those not meeting the sleep or screen time guidelines, independently, had significantly higher odds of depression, or anxiety (aOR range 1.53, 2.31 respectively). Comparable odds were observed between those meeting the PA guidelines, alone or in combination, and those meeting none of the 24-h movement guidelines. ConclusionAdequate nightly sleep, and limited screen time, were significantly associated with anxiety and depression among youth with disabilities, a pattern consistent to peers without disabilities. Yet, meeting more than one guideline did not further reduce odds of poor mental health, warranting further investigation of compounding benefits of the 24-h guidelines within this population.

Screen time and sleep among medical students in Germany

Medical students are a vulnerable group for harmful health behaviours due to academic stress. Increased screen time is associated with adverse health behaviour, particularly delayed bedtime, shorter sleep duration and poorer sleep quality. This possible relationship has not yet been examined among medical students in Europe. Medical students at the Technical University of Dresden were invited to participate in an online questionnaire based cross-sectional study. To analyse correlations between screen time and sleep parameters, correlation coefficients, linear regression and mixed-model analysis were calculated. 415 students (average age 24 years, 70% female) were included in the analysis. The students reported an average of 7 h screen time per day and 7.25 h sleep duration per night. Approximately 23% (n = 97) reported sleeping less than 7 h per night and 25% (n = 105) reported fairly to very poor sleep quality. Students who reported more screen time for leisure went to bed significantly later (r = 0.213, p < 0.001). Students who spent more screen time for study/work tended to sleep shorter (r = − 0.108, p < 0.015). There was no significant association between screen time and sleep quality (p = 0.103). The results show a need for educational interventions to promote healthy sleep behaviour and to limit screen time.

Edukasi Screen Time pada Anak di Masyarakat Kota Tasikmalaya

Changes in the behavior patterns of people who are accustomed to online activities can have positive and negative impacts on the body, especially children eyes. However, not many people know this. Therefore, community service activities are carried out which aim to provide education about screen time in book form. The book was made using the Canva application which contains material regarding the meaning of screen time, the working principles of screens and blue light, the positive and negative effects of blue light, rules for using devices, and recommendations for treatment for parents. Then counseling was carried out in the form of distribution of books and education to Orphanages, PAUD, Kindergartens and Elementary Schools in Tawang District, Tasikmalaya City. This activity can have a good impact on the community regarding the importance of limiting screen time to maintain eye and body health.
