The prevalence of behavioral problems among preschool children is remarkably increasing in the clinical setting.
The current study aimed to investigate the association between media exposure and behavioral problems among preschool children.
This survey study recruited 560 children from 10 nurseries selected randomly, located in El-Mansoura, Egypt. Tools included socio-demographic characteristics the Media Exposure Questionnaire and the Conners Comprehensive Behavior Rating Scales (CBRS-48).
The participants were exposed to media for an average of 105.84 min per day and displayed moderate levels in all subscales of CBRS-48. The duration of media exposure was significantly correlated to the hyperactivity index, learning problems, hyperactivity/impulsivity, conduct problem, anxiety, and psychosomatic problems ( = 0.372, 0.356, 0.323, 0.306, 0.298, 0.291, and 0.255, respectively).
The duration of media exposure was significantly correlated to the subscales of CBRS-48.
Preschool children should be engaged in concrete activities and social interactions that may lessen negative media effects such as hyperactivity, learning problems, hyperactivity/impulsivity, conduct problem, anxiety, and psychosomatic problems.
在临床环境中，学龄前儿童行为问题的患病率显著上升。
本研究旨在调查学龄前儿童的媒体接触与行为问题之间的关联。
这项调查研究从埃及曼苏拉随机选取的10所托儿所招募了560名儿童。工具包括社会人口学特征、媒体接触问卷和康纳斯综合行为评定量表（CBRS - 48）。
参与者平均每天接触媒体105.84分钟，在CBRS - 48的所有子量表中均表现出中等水平。媒体接触时长与多动指数、学习问题、多动/冲动、品行问题、焦虑和身心问题显著相关（分别为r = 0.372、0.356、0.323、0.306、0.298、0.291和0.255）。
媒体接触时长与CBRS - 48的子量表显著相关。
学龄前儿童应参与具体活动和社交互动，这可能会减轻诸如多动、学习问题、多动/冲动、品行问题、焦虑和身心问题等负面媒体影响。
