Bu derleme makalede halk sağlığı bakış açısıyla çocuklardaki teknoloji bağımlılığı ve ekran maruziyetinin öneminin vurgulanması amaçlanmıştır. Teknolojinin hızlı gelişmesiyle birlikte televizyon, bilgisayar ve akıllı telefon gibi birçok cihaz yaşamımızın vazgeçilmezi haline gelmiştir. Bu cihazlar yaşamımızı birçok alanda kolaylaştırıyor olmalarına karşın yanlış ve/veya aşırı kullanımları ile birlikte de birçok olumsuzluklara neden olabilmektedirler. Bebeklik döneminden itibaren okul öncesi dönem ve ergenlik döneminde günlük yaşamda kullanılan ekranın tüm çocukluk dönemlerinde olumsuz etkileri olduğu bilinmektedir. Literatür çalışmaları incelendiğinde; erken çocukluk döneminde ekrana aşırı maruz kalmanın, pek çok gelişimsel ve davranışsal sağlık riski oluşturduğu görülmektedir. Okul öncesi dönem çocuklarının ekran kullanım süresinin artmasıyla birlikte normal gelişim özelliklerinden sapmalar olduğu ve gelişimsel tarama testlerinde performans düşüşü olduğu gözlenmektedir. Çocuklarda ekran maruziyetinin etkilerini ve önemini vurgulamak; son yıllarda sayıları gittikçe artan ve önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olan teknoloji bağımlılığının önlenmesi ve erken müdahale programlarının geliştirilmesi, ailelerin bilinçlendirilmesi ve bu konulardaki farkındalıklarının artırılması açısından önemli olacaktır. Konu ile ilgili alan çalışmalarının artırılması da koruyucu önlemlerin alınması ve toplum sağlığının korunup geliştirilmesi açısından faydalı olacaktır.
