Abstract

Objective To analyze the correlation between screen exposure content and family rearing environment, in order to provide more reasonable guidance on screen exposure for parents. Methods Caregivers of 353 children aged 3 to 6 years who underwent physical examinations at four maternal and child health hospitals in Shanghai from January to August 2022 were selected as participants. A self-designed Screen Exposure Questionnaire and Family Rearing Environment Scale for Urban Children Aged 3 to 6 Years were used to investigate screen exposure and family rearing environments.The relationship between children's screen exposure content and family rearing environments was analyzed. Results Children's exposure to children's/adult and violent videos significantly varied across different genders, age groups, parental education levels, and family rearing environments(χ²=6.055, 8.145, 9.136, 8.080, 13.327, P<0.05). Similarly, children's exposure to educational/non-educational, animated/real and fast/slow screen-switching videos also differed across different family rearing environments(χ²=14.177, 11.221, 10.544, P<0.05). Boys(OR=1.739, 95%CI:1.112 - 2.718) and poor family rearing environment(OR=2.506, 95%CI:1.173 - 5.356) were risk factors for children's exposure to adult and violent videos(P<0.05). Children aged 3 to 4 years(OR=3.144, 95%CI: 1.472 - 6.715) and those in a poor family rearing environment(OR=4.018, 95%CI: 1.659 - 9.731) were more likely to be exposed to non-educational videos(P<0.05). Children in a poor family rearing environment(OR=0.329, 95%CI: 0.122 - 0.892) were less likely to be exposed to slow screen-switching videos(P<0.05). Conclusion Children's screen exposure content is related to the family rearing environment, and targeted guidance on the rearing environment can help improve children's screen exposure.
