1-3 Yaşındaki Çocukların Toplam Uyku Sürelerine Mavi Işık Yayan Cihaz Kullanımının Etkisinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma 1-3 yaş arası çocuklarda mavi ışığa maruziyet ile ilişkili faktörleri ve toplam uyku sürelerini belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel olarak yapılmıştır. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 1-3 yaş arası çocuğu olan toplam 323 anne dahil edildi. Veri toplama aracı olarak 1-3 yaş arası çocukların annelerine yönelik hazırlanmış olan sosyodemografik özellikler, mavi işığa maruziyet ve toplam uyku sürelerini değerlendiren anket formu kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çocuğun toplam uyku süresi ile kendi yatağına sahip olması, çocuğa ait tablet varlığı, mavi ışık yayan elektronik cihaz varlığı, çocuğun odasında mavi ışık yayan aydınlatıcı varlığı, annenin çocuğunun akıllı telefon kullanmasına izin verme durumu ve çocuğun yatmadan hemen önce karanlıkta mavi ışık yayan elektronik cihaz kullanma durumu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0.05). Çoklu regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre sosyodemografik değişkenler Model 1'de uyku süresini % 6,6, mavi ışık yayan cihaz kullanımına ilişkin özelliklerin de eklendiği Model 2'de uyku süresini %16.5 oranında etkilemiştir. Sonuç: Mavi ışık yayan cihaz kullanımı giderek daha önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu haline gelmekte ve bu sorunun daha da kötüleşmemesi için etkin önlemler alınmalı ve uygulanmalıdır.

Evaluation of The Effect of Using Devices Emitting Blue Light On The Total Sleep Duration of 1-3-Year-Old Children

Abstract

Objective: This study was descriptively and relationally performed to determine the factors associated with blue light exposure in children aged 1 to 3 years and their total sleep duration. Methods: A total of 323 mothers with children aged 1 to 3 years were included in the study. As a data collection tool, a questionnaire was used to evaluate sociodemographic characteristics, exposure to blue light, and total sleep time, which was prepared for mothers of children aged 1-3. Results: A statistically significant difference was found (p<0.05) between the total duration of sleep and the child having his/her bed, presence of a tablet belonging to the child, presence of a blue-light-emitting electronic device, and a blue-light-emitting illuminator in the child’s room, whether the mother allows her child to use a smartphone and whether the child uses a blue-light-emitting electronic device in the dark right before going to sleep. Based on the multiple regression analysis results, Sociodemographic variables have affected sleep duration at a rate of 6.6% in Model 1 and 16.5% in Model 2, in which characteristics related to the use of blue-light-emitting devices were also added. Conclusion: The usage of the blue-light-emitting device is becoming an increasingly significant public health problem, and effective measures should be taken and implemented to prevent this problem from worsening.
