In this digital era, young children spend a considerable amount of time looking at telephone, tablet, computer and television screens. However, preventative eye health behavior education could help avoid and relieve asthenopia. The effects of parental influence on their children's eye health behavior through the preschool eye health education intervention program were examined. The Health Belief Model was used to develop parental involvement strategy and eye health curriculum. The study was conducted in a large public preschool with five branches in Beijing, China. A total of 248 parent-child pairs participated in the baseline and follow-up surveys, of which 129 were in the intervention group and 119 were in the comparison group. The generalized estimating equation analysis results indicated that parental involvement in preschool-based eye health intervention on screen uses had positive influence on parents' eye health knowledge, cues to action, and parenting efficacy. The intervention program also had positive effects on the increasing level of children's eye health knowledge, beliefs, cues to action, self-efficacy, and behaviors. The results supported the implementation of a preschool-based eye health intervention program with parental involvement, which could potentially enhance children's and parents' eye health beliefs and practices.
在这个数字时代，幼儿花大量时间看电话、平板电脑、计算机和电视屏幕。然而，预防眼健康行为教育可以帮助避免和缓解视疲劳。本研究通过学前眼健康教育干预项目，考察了父母对子女眼健康行为的影响。该研究使用健康信念模型制定了父母参与策略和眼健康课程。该研究在北京一家大型公立幼儿园的五个分校进行，共有 248 对亲子参与了基线和随访调查，其中 129 对在干预组，119 对在对照组。广义估计方程分析结果表明，父母参与基于幼儿园的眼健康干预对屏幕使用有积极影响，可提高父母的眼健康知识、行动线索和养育效能。该干预方案还对提高儿童眼健康知识、信念、行动线索、自我效能和行为水平有积极影响。结果支持实施基于幼儿园的眼健康干预项目，以增强儿童和家长的眼健康信念和实践。
