儿童青少年视屏时间及其对心理健康影响研究进展

目前电子产品使用的普遍化和低龄化已成为全球趋势, 多数儿童青少年每天视屏时间超过指南推荐(< 2 h)。研究综述了视屏时间对儿童青少年身心健康的影响及其与儿童青少年心理障碍的关系, 发现视屏时间过长对儿童青少年的身心健康存在负面影响, 且视屏时间与抑郁焦虑、情绪异常、社会适应障碍、行为障碍、自伤行为、危险行为存在正相关。目前相关研究主要集中在视屏时间过长与儿童青少年心理健康的相关性上, 缺少对其作用机制、影响因素的研究, 有待开展相关研究, 并探索有效的干预措施, 为提高儿童青少年健康水平提供依据。

Review on screen time among children and adolescents and impact on mental health

The popularization of the use of electronic has become a global trend, and children are exposed to devices at younger ages. A large proportion of children and adolescents spend on screen time more than 2 h which is recommended in most guidelines. The paper reviews possible effects of screen time on physical and mental health, as well as mental disorders in children and adolescents. It is found that excessive screen time showed negative impacts on mental health, including depression, anxiety, mood disorder, social adaptational problems, behavioral disorders, self-injurious behaviors, and health risk behaviors. Much attention has been paid on the association between excessive screen time and mental health of children and adolescents, while possible mechanisms and influencing factors are lacking. Effective intervention studies are needed to provide a basis for child and adolescent health promotion.
