The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed Indonesians' behaviors and has had an impact on many facets of daily life. People's lives are becoming increasingly dependent on digital technologies, which is a phenomenon with conflicting effects on people's health and happiness. This cross-sectional study focused on one such influence, namely, how the shift from the period before to during COVID-19 has affected children's playtime and sleep duration. As part of a multicenter study, 618 adult caregivers (parents, family members, or babysitters) who visited the kindergarten in question on behalf of preschool children aged 2-5 years (4.04 ± 1.39) were surveyed on the children's play and sleep habits before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, particularly Java Island (before pandemic, N = 309; during pandemic, N = 309). ANOVA was used for a statistical analysis to describe the difference between groups and within time collections. Significant favorable relationships were found between pre-pandemic and post-pandemic playtime and sleeping time on weekdays, weekends, and averaged weekday-weekend (r = 0.437; 0.180 and 0.321, all < 0.05) were detected. Before the pandemic, children's playtime (4.11 vs. 3.55 h) and sleep duration (10.92 vs. 10.70 h) were significantly greater on the weekend than on the weekday ( < 0.05) but not during the pandemic (playtime: 3.48 vs. 3.45 h and sleep duration: 10.83 vs. 10.80 h; all > 0.05). The COVID-19 pandemic had no impact on sleep duration or playtime in Javanese preschool children. Efforts should be intensified to promote the value of playtime and sleep duration among children in this age range so that the future of Indonesian children's can be ensured.
新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情改变了印尼人的行为，对日常生活的许多方面都产生了影响。人们的生活越来越依赖数字技术，这一现象对人们的健康和幸福既有积极影响，也有消极影响。本横断面研究关注的是其中一个影响因素，即从新冠疫情之前到期间的转变如何影响儿童的游戏时间和睡眠时间。作为一项多中心研究的一部分，对代表年龄在 2-5 岁的学龄前儿童（4.04 ± 1.39 岁）前往调查的 618 名成人照护者（父母、家庭成员或保姆）进行了调查，询问了儿童在印度尼西亚，特别是爪哇岛的新冠疫情之前和期间的游戏和睡眠习惯（疫情前，N = 309；疫情期间，N = 309）。采用方差分析对组间和时间内收集的数据进行了统计学分析。发现在平日、周末和平均工作日周末，新冠疫情之前和之后的游戏时间和睡眠时间之间存在显著的正相关关系（r = 0.437；0.180 和 0.321，均 < 0.05）。在疫情之前，儿童周末的游戏时间（4.11 小时比 3.55 小时）和睡眠时间（10.92 小时比 10.70 小时）明显长于平日（ < 0.05），但在疫情期间则不然（游戏时间：3.48 小时比 3.45 小时；睡眠时间：10.83 小时比 10.80 小时；均 > 0.05）。新冠疫情对爪哇学龄前儿童的睡眠时长或游戏时间没有影响。应该加强努力，倡导这一年龄段儿童的游戏时间和睡眠时长的价值，以确保印度尼西亚儿童的未来。
