This study aims to investigate the effects of engaging in artistic and sporting activities on children's levels of digital addiction, aggression, and psychological resilience.
This cross-sectional study encompasses children aged 11-12 who are regularly engaged and not engaged in artistic or sporting education. The study involved 623 children. Data collection utilized the "Digital Addiction Scale," "Child and Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale," and "Reactive and Proactive Aggression Scale."
The study found statistically significant effects of engaging in sporting and artistic activities on digital addiction, psychological resilience, and reactive aggression (p < 0.05). Compared to the group with no activity, children engaged in artistic activities scored -4.38 units lower on the digital addiction scale, while those engaged in sports scored -4.23 units lower. Similarly, compared to the group with no activity, children engaged in artistic activities scored 3.32 units higher on the psychological resilience scale, and those engaged in sports scored 3.30 units higher. As children's psychological resilience scores increased, their scores for digital addiction and aggression decreased.
Participation in such activities can help children acquire healthy coping skills, strengthen their emotional regulation abilities, and reduce problems associated with anger. Therefore, encouraging children to engage in these activities is crucial for contributing to their overall well-being and promoting a balanced lifestyle.
Nurses can educate families about the importance of sports and artistic activities for the healthy development of children. Moreover, diversifying the activities offered to children in schools and youth centers and encouraging these activities can help promote healthy lifestyles and reduce digital addiction.
本研究旨在探讨参与艺术和体育活动对儿童数字成瘾、攻击行为和心理弹性水平的影响。
这是一项横断面研究，纳入了经常参与和不参与艺术或体育教育的 11-12 岁儿童。共有 623 名儿童参与了研究。数据收集采用了“数字成瘾量表”、“儿童和青少年心理弹性量表”以及“反应性和主动性攻击量表”。
研究发现，参与艺术和体育活动对数字成瘾、心理弹性和反应性攻击有统计学显著影响（p<0.05）。与无活动组相比，参与艺术活动的儿童在数字成瘾量表上的得分低了-4.38 分，而参与体育活动的儿童则低了-4.23 分。同样，与无活动组相比，参与艺术活动的儿童在心理弹性量表上的得分高了 3.32 分，而参与体育活动的儿童则高了 3.30 分。随着儿童心理弹性得分的增加，他们的数字成瘾和攻击得分也随之下降。
参与这些活动可以帮助儿童获得健康的应对技能，增强情绪调节能力，并减少与愤怒相关的问题。因此，鼓励儿童参与这些活动对于促进他们的整体幸福感和促进平衡的生活方式至关重要。
护士可以向家庭宣传体育和艺术活动对儿童健康发展的重要性。此外，在学校和青年中心为儿童提供多样化的活动，并鼓励这些活动，可以帮助促进健康的生活方式和减少数字成瘾。
