Abstract

Objective To analyze the correlation between home rearing environment and electronicscreen exposure of children aged 1 - 3 years, in order to providescientific basic for reducing early screen exposureand building a good family rearing environment. Methods A total of 208 children who were followed up in the Children's Healthcare Clinic of Wuchang Maternal and Child Health Hospital from July to December 2022 were selected into this study. A self-designed questionnaire and the "1 - 3 Years Child Home Nurture Environment Scale" were usedas research tools to investigate the screen exposure time and family rearing environment of children aged 1 to 3. Children's parents or caregivers were supervised and guided by doctors to complete the questionnaires. Results A total of 206 valid questionnaires were obtained, including 110 males(53.4%) and 96 females(46.6%). Children were(26.09±6.21) months old on average. Among 206 children, 57.28% were exposed to more than two types of screen products, with an average age of 17.4 months old.Infants' gender(Z=4.164), age(H=10.619), whether they were an only child(Z=6.190), whether they had independent electronic devices(Z=8.820), mother's literacy(H=6.697), father's literacy(H=9.155), and home parenting environment(H=6.920) were statistically significant for the difference in daily screen exposure time for infants and toddlers(P<0.05). Average screen time was negatively correlated with the total score of family rearing environment(r=-0.167, P<0.05). Conclusions Screen exposure is common in children aged 1 - 3 years, and there is a negative correlation between screen exposure and family rearing environment. A positive family nurturing environment should be built to enhance the quality and quantity of parent-child interaction and reduce electronic screen exposure to promote early childhood development.
