Introduction: Excessive screen time among young children is associated with screen dependency. At this moment, there is a lack of data on screen dependency among young children in Malaysia. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of screen dependency and its associated factors among preschool children in Kuala Lumpur. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at registered preschools in Kuala Lumpur. 300 parents of preschool children aged 4 to 6 years old who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited via simple random sampling. The Screen Dependency Scale (SDS) were used to assess their dependency to screen media. Univariate and multivariate statistics were analysed using IBM SPSS version 27. Results: The prevalence of screen dependency among preschool children in Kuala Lumpur was 65.7%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that using the screen to resolve children’s quarrels (aOR 2.855, 95% CI 1.187 - 6.868), children who use smartphones (aOR 2.735, 95% CI: 1.244 - 6.013), children’s screen time exceeds 2 hours over the weekend (aOR 2.261, 95% CI: 1.058 - 4.830) and having a television in the bedroom (aOR 5.562, 95% CI: 1.591 - 19.442) were predictors for screen dependency. While active co-use mediation (aOR 0.505, 95% CI: 0.302 - 0.845) were protective. Conclusion: The prevalence of screen dependency was high among preschool children in Kuala Lumpur. Active screening at health care clinics or in schools is essential to identify early children with risk factors for screen dependency.

Parental mediation includes parents' attitudes and behaviors about their child's media using. Early parental mediation researches have been conducted on television. Nowadays, parental mediation researches concentrate on the Internet. The main purpose of this study is to develop assessment forms that evaluate parental mediation strategies in respect of Internet Usage. In this study, a scale has been developed including parent and adolescent forms, as the strategies used by parents could be examined based on both parents and their children's self-report. A representative sample consisting of a total of 728 parents participated in the parent form study in Mamak, Ankara (mother n=456; father n=272). A total of 718 adolescents (female n=371; male n=345) aged 11-14 years old studying 6.-8. grades in a secondary school in Mamak participated in the adolescent form study. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and conformity factor analysis (CFA) were applied for the purpose of testing construct validity of the forms. EFA indicated that a two-factor model had enough fit for parent form and a three-factor model was suggested for adolescent form. Factors of parent form were named as "control/ restriction" and "active mediation", factors of adolescent form were named as "control/ restriction", "active mediation" and "monitoring". These factors have explained 63.7% and 61.7% variance on parent and adolescent scales, respectively. The results of CFA have revealed appropriateness of the factor structure
