The relationship between parental attitudes, media exposure, and sleep habits in preschool children

Abstract

Purpose: The brain develops rapidly in early life, so sleep, media exposure and parental relationships are important topics for researchers during this period. The aim of this study was to examine the media exposure of children aged 3-6 years, in addition to their sleep habits and parental attitudes. Materials and Methods: Participants in this descriptive study, based on the relational screening model, were 70 boys (64.2%) and 39 girls (35.8%) aged between 3 and 6 years, and their parents, who had been seen at the child psychiatry outpatient clinic. The study used the following data collection instruments: Personal Information Form, Child Sleeping Habits Questionnaire and Parental Attitudes Scale, Internet Parenting Styles Scale. Results: This study, it was reported that 44% of children used tablets and 67% used mobile phones. Children who slept 6-9 hours had higher mean scores for sleep habits and sleep problems than those who slept 10 hours or more. The mean sleep habits scores of children who watched more than two hours of television per day were significantly higher than those of children who watched between one and two hours per day. Children who watched two or more hours of TV per day had lower mean parental control scores than other children. Children whose weekly use of digital devices was up to 8 hours had higher mean scores for both parental control and parental warmth than children whose weekly use was more than 8 hours Conclusion: A significant number of children were exposed to the media and an association was found between family attitudes, media use and children's sleep habits.

Okul öncesi çocuklarda ebeveyn tutumları, medya maruziyeti ve uyku alışkanlıkları arasındaki ilişki

Öz

Amaç: Beyin yaşamın erken dönemlerinde hızla gelişir, bu nedenle uyku, medyaya maruz kalma ve ebeveyn ilişkileri bu dönemde araştırmacılar için önemli konular olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, 3-6 yaş arasındaki çocukların medyaya maruz kalma, uyku alışkanlıkları ve anne-baba tutumları arasındaki ilişkilinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: İlişkisel tarama modelinde betimsel olarak tasarlanan araştırmanın katılımcıları, çocuk psikiyatrisi polikliniğinde görülen 3-6 yaş arası 70 erkek (%64,2) ve 39 kız (%35,8) çocuk ve ebeveynleridir. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak, “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Çocuk Uyku Alışkanlıkları Anketi” ve “Anne–Baba Çocuk Yetiştirme Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada çocukların %44’ünün tablet, %67'sinin cep telefonu kullandığı bildirilmiştir. 6-9 saat uyuyan çocukların uyku alışkanlıkları ve uyku sorunları puan ortalamaları 10 saat ve üzeri uyuyanlara göre daha yüksek idi. Günde iki saatten fazla televizyon izleyen çocukların ortalama uyku alışkanlıkları puanları, günde bir ile iki saat arasında televizyon izleyen çocuklarınkinden anlamlı derecede daha yüksek. Günde iki saat veya daha fazla televizyon izleyen çocukların ebeveyn kontrol ortalama puanları diğer çocuklardan daha düşüktü. Haftalık dijital cihaz kullanımı 8 saate kadar olan çocukların hem ebeveyn kontrolü hem de ebeveyn sıcaklığı puan ortalamaları, haftalık dijital cihaz kullanımı 8 saatten fazla olan çocuklara kıyasla daha yüksekti. Sonuç: Çocukların önemli bir kısmının medyaya maruz kaldığı ve aile tutumları, çocukların medya kullanımı ve uyku alışkanlıkları arasında ilişki bulunmuştur.
