Young Children and Screens: Parents' Perspectives and Child Health Nurses' Approaches in a Digital Age

Sponsor: Karolinska Institutet

Summary

The overall aim of the research project is to investigate screen habits among children (0-5 years) and their parents including nurses' perspective, and further parents' and nurses' experiences of using web-based healthcare advisory services within Swedish child health care (CHC). The main research questions are: What is the correlation between children's and their parents' screen use? How does screen use differ among families with various socioeconomic backgrounds? How well does the modified SCREEN-Q instrument measure screen use in Swedish conditions? How do parents perceive their own and their children's screen use and their parental role? What are parents' views on available advice and recommendations regarding children's screen use? How do parents use and experience web-based advisory services within health care and Swedish child health care (CHC)? How do CHC nurses address screen media-related issues within CHC? What are CHC nurses' experiences with web-based advisory services? Participants will: * Complete a survey on screen habits and digital health service use (N ≈ 300) * Contribute to validation of a modified SCREEN-Q instrument * Take part in interviews (parents) and focus groups (child health nurses)
