- Abstract
Uvod: Djeca i adolescenti svakodnevno koriste računala, mobitele i tablete, uz ostale elektroničke uređaje, u neakademskim aktivnostima. Bitno je karakterizirati utjecaj ovih uređaja na procese socijalizacije, interakcije i učenja u ovom segmentu populacije, a također je potrebno istražiti moguće štetne učinke povezane s njihovom uporabom. Cilj je bio opisati kako se ti uređaji koriste i njihov utjecaj na školski uspjeh, ponašanje i tjelesnu aktivnost djece i adolescenata od 6 do 14 godina. Materijali i metode: Ovo je presječna analitička studija 510 školske djece u dobi od 6 do 9 i od 10 do 14 godina iz Bogote i Cundinamarce, Kolumbija. Ispitani su pomoću ankete od 38 pitanja koja su karakterizirala korištenje uređaja i simptome anksioznosti i depresije, rješavanje sukoba, spavanje i školski uspjeh. Rezultati: Prosječna dob za početak korištenja uređaja bila je četiri godine. U obje skupine najviše su korišteni mobiteli (56,3% i 78,04%). Roditelji prate korištenje uređaja u 80% slučajeva. U 40% slučajeva upotreba uređaja bila je duža od 90 minuta dnevno. Oko 16% je također prijavilo poremećaje spavanja, frustraciju (48%), emocionalnu labilnost (20%) i suicidalne ideje (11%). 19% se nije igralo sa svojim vršnjacima, a 7% je izjavilo da nema bliske prijatelje. Zaključci: Ova studija pokazuje visoku izloženost elektroničkim uređajima od rane dobi i njihovu povezanost s čimbenicima ponašanja. Buduće studije trebale bi dublje istražiti odnos između ovih čimbenika i elektroničkih uređaja., Introduction: Children and adolescents use computers, cell phones, and tablets, among other electronic devices, daily in non-academic activities. It is essential to characterize the impact these devices have on the socialization, interaction, and learning processes in this population segment. We should also investigate possible harmful effects that may be related to their use. The objective was to characterize how these devices are used and their impact on school performance, behavior, and physical activity in children and adolescents from 6 to 14 years of age. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional analytic study of 510 schoolchildren ages 6 to 9 and 10 to 14 from Bogotá and Cundinamarca, Colombia. They were surveyed with a 38-question survey characterizing the use of the devices and the symptoms of anxiety and depression, conflict resolution, sleep, and school performance. Results: The average age for initiation on the use of devices was four years. Cell phones were the most used in both groups (56.3% and 78.04%). Parents monitor the use of the device in 80% of cases. 40% of the time, device usage was greater than 90 minutes per day. About 16% reported sleep disturbance, frustration (48%), emotional lability (20%), and suicidal ideations (11%) also were reported. 19% did not play with their peers, and 7% did not report having close friends. Conclusions: This study shows the high exposure to electronic devices from an early age and their relation to behavioral factors. Future studies should explore the relationship between these factors and electronic devices in depth.
