“…This finding is in line with previous studies that found children's total exposure to media time was associated with physical activity of children and oral hygiene. 12,18 In our multiple regression analysis, in our study, there was a relationship between dental neglect and the age at which children were first exposed to screen time. The American Pediatric Association does not recommend exposure to the screen time for children under the age of 2, 11 while in our study it was apparent that in our cohort were exposed to screens as early as, with the majority being exposed between 12-24 and 24-36 months.…”

“…Socio-demographic factors measured included variables such as sex, number of siblings of the child, age and level of parental education. Furthermore, a questionnaire, modified from previous studies, 4,8,11,12 administered to the parents of the patients to assess familial life-style factors. Examples of questions included 'How many screens in a weekday does your child watch a TV, or look at a DVD, smartphone, computer, tablet, etc.?'.…”

Aim: Dental neglect is the failure of parents to meet a child's basic oral health needs and causes complications. Long screen time, and its health impact, is an important public health issue. This study is aimed at determining whether there is a relationship between screen time of children and parents and dental neglect. Methods: Two hundred and fifteen patients were included in this cross-sectional observational study. A questionnaire including questions exploring demographic data, children's life-styles and, screen time of both parents and children. A dental neglect scale was administered to the parents. The children's intraoral examinations were evaluated using the decayed, missing, filled teeth (dmft) and pulp, ulcers, fistula, abscess (pufa) indices. Results: Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that dental neglect was statistically significantly associated with brushing teeth unsupervised and infrequently, frequent snacking, rarely doing exercise, screen exposure at an early age and presence of dental plaque (P < 0.05). Long screen time was statistically significantly associated with high dmft scores, reflecting poor oral health. It was found that children who did not attend daycare, had statistically significantly longer exposure to screens, compared to those who attended daycare. Conclusions: Early exposure to screens and long-term screen use are associated with adverse outcomes pertaining to children's oral health.

“…In our study, there was an association between abnormal scores and early first screen contact age in children with SLD; prosocial behavior problems increased as the age of the first screen contact decreased. In the study by Erat Nergiz et al (2020), mothers' low acceptance of their children and high neglect score were associated with excessive screen exposure. In another study, higher permissive and overprotective parenting style scores were associated with an increased risk of excessive screen time (Çaylan et al, 2021).…”

Background: The study aims to investigate the social, emotional, and behavioral challenges in children with a specific learning disability (SLD) and to identify the factors that accompany these problems by screening with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Methods:The descriptive study was conducted on 278 children with SLD. Strengths and difficulties in children were evaluated by the SDQ applied to their mothers. The percentage of cases above the cut-off limits of the SDQ was calculated. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used for analysis. Results:The mean (SD) total SDQ score was 15.8 (6.5). The percentage of scores of abnormal total difficulties in SLD was 47.8%. Multivariate analysis revealed that cases exposed to antenatal smoking had higher odds ratio of abnormal emotional symptoms and abnormal total difficulties; cases with poor familial income and the presence of a history of antenatal smoking exposure showed considerably higher odds ratio of conduct problems; cases with younger age at the diagnosis of SLD, dyscalculia, extreme duration of preschool screen time (≥4 h), and history of hospitalization had significantly higher odds ratio for hyperactivity-inattention problems; and cases having shorter breastfeeding duration had higher odds ratio of peer problems compared to counterparts. Conclusion:Children with SLD have a high score on the SDQ. Practitioners could especially give guidance and support to families with financial problems and those having a child with an early age at diagnosis, exposure to antenatal smoking, short breastfeeding period, early age of the first screen use, and long screen exposure duration during the preschool period.

“…These contradictory findings, which have led to current debates, may be due to several reasons. First, previous researchers have tried to speculate on the associations between digital technology use and interpersonal relationships mainly from the perspective of screen time; that is, the amount of time spent using technology [ 12 , 15 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. However, many researchers have recently argued that when exploring the effect of the use of digital technology, researchers should not focus on screen time, as it is no longer a valid construct (rather than the time, content may be more important) [ 28 , 29 ].…”

The past two decades have witnessed controversy over whether the use of digital technology has damaged or enhanced adolescents’ social relationships, which influences their development. In this study, we addressed this debate by specifying the effect of different types of smartphone use content on social relationships, rather than simply relying on screen time spent on digital media. To avoid selective analysis and report of different variables, we used specification curve analysis (SCA) in a large dataset (N = 46,018) to explore the correlations between 20 types of smartphone use content and adolescents’ social relationships (parent–child, peer, and teacher–student). The types of smartphone use content were measured by the revised version of Mobile Phone Use Pattern Scale, the Parent-Child Relationship Scale, the Peer Relationship Scale, and the Teacher-Student Relationship Scale assessed three different social relationships, respectively. Of the 20 types of smartphone use content, only playing games (negatively explaining 1% of the variation), taking online courses (positively explaining 1.6% of the variation), using search engines (positively explaining 1.2% of the variation), using a dictionary (positively explaining 1.3% of the variation), and obtaining life information (positively explaining 1.5% of the variation) showed a significant effect size. The association between smartphone use and adolescents’ social relationships depends on the various types of content with which adolescents engage during smartphone use. The various effects of different types of smartphone use content deserve the attention of both the public and policy-makers.
