Excessive use of screen media is a global public health issue and especially extensive screen exposure during very early childhood. This review was conducted in order to update previous reviews on the effectiveness of interventions to reduce screen time. An electronic literature search was carried out in MEDLINE, COCHRANE LIBRARY and CINAHL for articles indexed from June 2011 until October 2019. The search identified 933 publications of which 11 publications were included in this review. There are studies showing interventions with a positive influence on reduction of screen time and the participants' awareness and behavior concerning the use of screen media, as well as studies without such effects. No intervention was identified to be superior. This warrants further investigation of potentially effective combinations of intervention components and long-term follow-up.
过度使用屏幕媒体是一个全球性的公共卫生问题,尤其是在儿童早期过度暴露于屏幕。本次综述旨在更新之前关于减少屏幕时间干预措施效果的综述。我们在 MEDLINE、COCHRANE 图书馆和 CINAHL 中进行了电子文献检索,检索了 2011 年 6 月至 2019 年 10 月期间索引的文章。搜索共确定了 933 篇出版物,其中 11 篇出版物被纳入本次综述。有研究显示,干预措施对减少屏幕时间以及参与者对使用屏幕媒体的意识和行为有积极影响,但也有研究没有这种效果。没有一种干预措施被证明是优越的。这需要进一步研究潜在有效的干预措施组合和长期随访。
