As smartphone use is becoming more common, the age of initial exposure to devices is becoming younger. Young children's screen use is influenced by various factors; it is more directly dependent on family environment than school-aged children. Our study aimed to examine the effect of mother's smartphone addition on their child's smartphone use.
Participants were from the Kids Cohort for Understanding of internet addiction Risk factors in early childhood (K-CURE) study. Adult smartphone addiction self-diagnosis scale was used to evaluate smartphone addiction degree of mother. Child's smartphone use was assessed by parental questionnaire. Using logistic regression analysis, we examine the association between mother's smartphone addiction and child's smartphone use.
After adjusting for other factors, mother's smartphone addiction is related with early smartphone exposure of children. Highrisk group's children was exposed to smartphone earlier than low risk group (adjusted OR, 0.418; p=0.021). Contrary to expectation, there is no correlation between mother's smartphone addiction and child's smartphone use time.
Our study explain that mother's smartphone addiction can affect early smartphone exposure on children. Based on our findings, further study might explore the effect of early smartphone exposure on children.
随着智能手机的使用越来越普遍，初次接触电子设备的年龄也越来越小。幼儿的屏幕使用受到多种因素的影响；与学龄儿童相比，它更直接地依赖于家庭环境。我们的研究旨在探讨母亲对智能手机的沉迷对其孩子智能手机使用的影响。
参与者来自儿童早期网络成瘾风险因素理解队列研究（K-CURE）。使用成人智能手机成瘾自我诊断量表来评估母亲的智能手机成瘾程度。通过家长问卷评估孩子的智能手机使用情况。我们使用逻辑回归分析来研究母亲的智能手机成瘾与孩子的智能手机使用之间的关联。
在对其他因素进行调整后，母亲的智能手机成瘾与孩子过早接触智能手机有关。高风险组的孩子比低风险组更早接触智能手机（调整后的比值比，0.418；p = 0.021）。与预期相反，母亲的智能手机成瘾与孩子的智能手机使用时间之间没有相关性。
我们的研究表明母亲的智能手机成瘾会影响孩子过早接触智能手机。基于我们的研究结果，进一步的研究可能会探讨过早接触智能手机对孩子的影响。
