简要总结
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)
详细描述
This study investigates screen habits among children aged 0-5 years and their parents, as well as child health nurses' experiences with screen-related guidance and digital health advisory services within Swedish Child Health Care (CHC). The study is grounded in the WHO framework on social determinants of health (1), recognizing that screen use is influenced by individual, familial, and societal factors.
Study Design and Methodology:
A mixed-methods design is employed. The quantitative component consists of a cross-sectional survey (N=300) using a modified version of the SCREEN-Q instrument (2), adapted for Swedish conditions. Psychometric validation will include translation/back-translation, expert review, pilot testing, factor analysis, and reliability testing (Cronbach's alpha). Data will be collected digitally and via paper forms through local Child Health Care centers across three regions in Sweden.
The qualitative component includes two semi-structured interview studies with parents (N=10-15 per sub-study) and focus group discussions with child health nurses (N=15-24 total). These will explore attitudes toward screen use, perceptions of parental roles, and experiences with digital health services. Interviews and discussions will be recorded and transcribed for analysis.
Data Management and Quality Assurance:
