The goal of the study was to explore the relationship between parent-children relationships related to using the internet among kids and potentially associated factors.
A sample of 1.216 Vietnamese students between the ages of 12 and 18 agreed to participate in the cross-sectional online survey. Data collected included socioeconomic characteristics and internet use status of participants, their perceived changes in relationship and communication between parents and children since using the internet, and parental control toward the child's internet use. An Ordered Logistic Regression was carried out to determine factors associated with parent-children relationship since using the internet.
The characteristics of the relationship between children and their parents since using the Internet were divided into three levels: deterioration (7.0%), stability (78.2%), and improvement (14.8%). The topics that children most often communicate with their parents include learning, housework, and future directions. Two-way interactive activities, such as supporting parents to use the Internet, have a positive impact on the parent-child relationship. Stubborn parental control, such as establishing rules about contact or allowing Internet access and setting up global positioning system (GPS) to track negatively affecting parent-child relationships.
Findings indicated that changes in the quality of the parent-child relationship were self-assessed by participants regard to kids' internet use, especially in the COVID-19 epidemic context. Educational campaigns and programs to raise awareness of parents as to the dangers and negative influences that their children may encounter online, psychology of children's behaviors and effects of different responding strategies are recommended.
本研究的目的是探讨儿童使用互联网相关的亲子关系与潜在相关因素之间的关系。
1216名年龄在12至18岁之间的越南学生参与了这项横断面在线调查。收集的数据包括参与者的社会经济特征和互联网使用状况、他们自使用互联网以来感知到的亲子关系和沟通变化，以及父母对孩子互联网使用的控制。进行有序逻辑回归以确定自使用互联网以来与亲子关系相关的因素。
自使用互联网以来，儿童与父母之间关系的特征分为三个层次：恶化（7.0%）、稳定（78.2%）和改善（14.8%）。儿童最常与父母交流的话题包括学习、家务和未来方向。双向互动活动，如支持父母使用互联网，对亲子关系有积极影响。固执的父母控制，如制定关于联系的规则或允许上网并设置全球定位系统（GPS）进行追踪，对亲子关系有负面影响。
研究结果表明，参与者自我评估了亲子关系质量的变化与儿童使用互联网有关，尤其是在新冠疫情背景下。建议开展教育活动和项目，提高家长对孩子在网上可能遇到的危险和负面影响、儿童行为心理以及不同应对策略的影响的认识。
