简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the developed program on screen usage time and physical activity for pre-school children.
详细描述
The "Screen-to-Move-Program" (STEP), developed on the basis of Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), is aimed to reduce screen usage time and increase physical activity in pre-school children. In this study, it was aimed to increase children's physical activity and decrease screen usage times with a 6 session intervention program based on SCT, which includes children and parents. The effectiveness of the program will be evaluated with the pre-test, post-test and 3rd month follow-up test.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Group
It is planned as 6 sessions, 1 session per week for children and parents. The program will be introduced to children and parents under the call with "Screen-to-Move-Program (STEP)". The symbol of the program has been created and this symbol will be hung on the classroom door. Sessions for children include story, picture, video demonstration and active playing activities. A more clear, simple and understandable language will be used for children, and reinforcements will be used. For parents; There will be 6 training sessions in the form of presentations. At the same time as the children's activities, information notes will be sent to the parents outlining the expectations. Before the intervention, after the intervention and in the 3rd month, children's screen use time, daily physical activity time, sleep time, parents' knowledge, behavior, attitude and self-efficacy about their children's screen use time will be evaluated.
干预措施: Screen-to-Move-Program (STEP) (Behavioral)
Control Group
Screen use time, daily physical activity time, sleep time, parents' knowledge, behavior, attitude and self-efficacy about children's screen use time will be evaluated simultaneously from the control group with the intervention group. After the 3rd month follow-up test, the STEP will be applied to the children and parents in the control group.
结局指标
主要结局
Decreasing screen time of children in the experimental group
时间窗: Change in screen usage time within 3 months
Children's screen usage time will be evaluated with questions. "How long (…hours…..minutes) on average did your child use any device with an electronic screen, such as a smartphone, tablet, video game, or watch television, movies, video games in a day?". Daily screen usage time will be evaluated in minutes. A maximum of 60 minutes of screen time is recommended for pre-school children (World Health Organization, 2019).
Increasing physical activity level of children in the experimental group
时间窗: Change in physical activity level within 3 months
Children's physical activity levels; Item 1: "How long is your child active on average in a day? (e.g. walking slowly, making the bed etc.)" and Item 2:"How long does your child do physical activity in a day, on average, until he is out of breath?" (walking fast, cycling, running, playing ball games, swimming, dancing, etc.) will be evaluated based on parent self-report. The total daily (Item1 + Item2) physical activity time will be evaluated in minutes. A minimum of 180 minutes of physical activity is recommended for pre-school children (World Health Organization, 2019).
Increasing number of steps for the children in the experimental group
时间窗: Change in number of steps within 3 months
Pre-school children's daily step count will be measured with the OMRON HJ-109-E pedometer. In our study, the number of steps for children aged 3-5 will be evaluated as 11,500 steps, which is stated to correspond to the 180 minutes physical activity target recommended by the World Health Organization for children aged 3-5 (De Craemer et al., 2015; World Health Organization, 2019).
次要结局
- Increase in the attitude score of the parents in the experimental group(Change in parents' attitudes within 3 months)
- Increasing knowledge score of parents in the experimental group(Change in knowledge score of parents within 3 months)
- Increasing self-efficacy score of parents in the experimental group(Change in self-efficacy score of parents within 3 months)
