In recent years, screen-based activities have become increasingly popular amongst children and adolescents. Several studies have found increased screen time to be associated with sleep disturbances, poorer academic performance and reduced physical activity. However, not much is known about children's activity preferences and participation in relation to their screen time. This study investigated the association between school-aged children's screen time use and their activity participation and physical activity.
A sample of 25 parents/caregivers with typically developing children aged 8-12 years in Australia participated. Parents/caregivers completed the (CSTUR) and (CPQ-S). Child participants completed the CSTUR, (PAC), (PMOQ) and (PAQ-C). Data were analyzed using Spearman Rho correlations.
Findings from this study found no statistically significant associations between the CSTUR and PAQ-C subscales in children aged 8-12 years. However, there were several significant correlations found between CSTUR and the PAC, PMOQ and CPQ-S scale scores.
Occupational therapists need to consider screen-based activities in school age children and the impact it can have on their daily participation.
近年来，基于屏幕的活动在儿童和青少年中越来越受欢迎。多项研究发现，屏幕使用时间增加与睡眠障碍、学业成绩较差和身体活动减少有关。然而，对于儿童的活动偏好以及与屏幕使用时间相关的参与情况，我们了解得并不多。本研究调查了学龄儿童的屏幕使用时间与他们的活动参与度和身体活动之间的关联。
澳大利亚25名有8至12岁发育正常儿童的家长/照顾者参与了该研究。家长/照顾者完成了《儿童屏幕时间使用问卷》（CSTUR）和《儿童身体活动问卷-简版》（CPQ-S）。儿童参与者完成了CSTUR、《儿童身体活动问卷》（PAC）、《儿童身体活动动机问卷》（PMOQ）和《儿童身体活动问卷-简版》（PAQ-C）。数据采用斯皮尔曼等级相关分析。
本研究结果发现，8至12岁儿童的CSTUR和PAQ-C分量表之间没有统计学上的显著关联。然而，CSTUR与PAC、PMOQ和CPQ-S量表得分之间存在若干显著相关性。
职业治疗师需要考虑学龄儿童基于屏幕的活动及其对他们日常参与的影响。
