Okul Öncesi Çocuklarda Ekran Maruziyeti ile Uyku Kalitesi ve Öz-Düzenleme Becerileri Arasındaki İlişki

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı okul öncesi çocuklarda ekran maruziyeti ile uyku kalitesi ve öz-düzenleme becerileri arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma Mart-Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında aile hekimliği polikliniğe başvuran 4-6 yaşında çocuğu olan 140 anne ile gerçekleştirildi. Çocukların yaş, cinsiyet, mevcut kronik hastalıkları, en çok kullanılan teknolojik ürün, kullanım amacı, zamanı ve süreleri sorgulandı. Çocukların uyku alışkanlıkları “Çocukların Uyku Alışkanlıkları Ölçeği (CSHQ)” ile, öz-düzenleme becerileri ise 4-6 Yaş Çocuklarına Yönelik Öz-Düzenleme Becerileri Ölçeği (Anne Formu) ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda çocukların median yaşı 60 (48-72) aydı. Katılımcıların 75/140’ı kadındı. Evde en çok kullanılan teknolojik ürün telefondu (% 48.2). Ekran süresi %64’ünün 2 saat altında; %21.6’sının 2-4 saat arasında; %14.4’ünün 4 saat üzerindeydi. Ekran maruziyeti çok olanların anne (p=0.003) ve babalarının (p<0.001) eğitim durumu daha düşüktü. CSHQ alt ölçeklerinden uykuya dalmada gecikme skoru ekran maruziyeti 4 saat üzerinde olanlarda daha yüksekti (p<0.001). Öz-düzenleme becerileri ölçeği total skor (p=0.001), dikkat (p=0.014), engelleyici kontrol-duygu (p=0.004) ve engelleyici kontrol-davranış (p=0.029) alt-ölçek skorları ekran süresi fazla olan çocuklarda daha düşüktü. Sonuç: Okul öncesi çocuklarda aşırı ekran maruziyeti uykuya dalmada gecikme ve düşük öz düzenleme becerileri ile ilişkilidir.

The Relationship of Screen Exposure with Sleep Quality and Self-Regulation Skills in Preschool Children

Öz

Objective: We aimed to investigate possible links between screen time, self-regulation skills and sleep quality in preschool children. Material and Methods: The study was carried out with 140 mothers with 4-6 years old children who visited the family medicine outpatient clinic between March and May 2022. Children’s age, gender, existing chronic diseases, the most used technological product, purpose of use, time and duration were recorded. Children’s sleep habits were evaluated with the “Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ)”, and their self-regulation skills were evaluated with the “Self-Regulation Skills Scale for 4-6 Years-Old Children(Mother Form)(SrSS)”. Results: The median age of the children in our study was 60 (48-72) months. 75/140 of the participants were girls. The most used technological product at home was the smartphone (48.2%). 64% of the participants reported less than 2 hours screen time, 21.6% of them reported between 2-4 hours and 14.4% of them reported over 4 hours. Educational status of mothers (p=0.003) and fathers (p<0.001) of those with a lot of screen exposure was lower. Delay in falling asleep score, one of the CSHQ subscales, was higher in those with screen exposure over 4 hours (p<0.001). Self-regulation skills scale total score (p=0.001), attention (p=0.014), inhibitory control-emotion (p=0.004), and inhibitory control-behavior (p=0.029) sub-scale scores were lower in children with longer screen time. Conclusion: Excessive screen exposure in preschool children is associated with delay in falling asleep and low self-regulation skills.
