Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the level of preschool children’s weekend screen time in Zhejiang Province, and to explore family related factors.
Methods:A total of 6 829 preschool children were selected from 25 kindergartens in Zhejiang Province from March to April 2019. Through a questionnaire survey among their caregivers, relevant data and information such as children’s screen time and family related factors were obtained.
Result:The report rate of children in different age groups whose average screen time per day on weekends ≥2 h/d: boys were higher than girls( P <0.05); and the difference between boys and girls in the age groups of 3, 3.5, 4 and 6 was statistically significant( P <0.05). At the age of 3, the lowest rate of video time ≥2 h/d report was 9.57% and 6.03% for boys and girls, while at the age of 5.5, the highest rate was 18.49% and 17.37% for boys and girls. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, boy( OR =1.33), caregiver( OR =1.42), father’s high school( OR =1.36), father’s junior high school and below( OR =1.37), and parents’ no exercise habit ( OR =1.47) were associated with high screen time during weekend( P <0.05).
Conclusion:Family related factors can affect children’s screen time. Parents should pay attention to children’s screen time in the process of children’s growth.
