to describe the norms and perceptions of a sample of Spanish parents and guardians on the use of mobile devices (smartphone and/or tablet) by their children and their association with such use.
a quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional, online, exploratory study was conducted with a non-probability sample of parents or guardians of children using smartphones or tablets. The virtual questionnaire consisted of 44 questions and was available at https://www.kenkolab.org/participa/ .
the total number of participants (parents or guardians) was 183 people. It was observed that 26.2% of parents admitted that their children had free and unrestricted access to smartphones or tablets. Associations were identified between time spent using mobile devices and parental attitudes, such as permission without time limitation and use as a reward or punishment. Approximately half of the respondents believe that their children use the mobile device longer than recommended.
most parents exercise some control over their children's use of devices. Acting on parental norms and perceptions is vital to success in addressing children's time spent on mobile devices. Community nursing could be a vehicle for education in healthy screen consumption habits in early childhood.

描述西班牙父母对孩子使用移动设备（智能手机和平板电脑）的规范和看法，以及这种使用与儿童相关的问题。
采用非概率抽样方法，对使用智能手机或平板电脑的儿童的父母或监护人进行了一项在线、探索性、定量、分析性的横断面研究。虚拟问卷由 44 个问题组成，可在 https://www.kenkolab.org/participa/ 上获取。
共有 183 名父母或监护人参与了研究。结果发现，26.2%的父母承认孩子可以自由无限制地使用智能手机或平板电脑。父母的态度与孩子使用移动设备的时间有关，例如无时间限制地允许使用和将其作为奖励或惩罚的手段。大约一半的受访者认为孩子使用移动设备的时间超过了推荐的时间。
大多数父母会对孩子使用设备进行一定程度的控制。了解父母的规范和看法对于成功解决儿童使用移动设备的时间至关重要。社区护理可以作为教育儿童健康使用屏幕的习惯的一种手段。
