背景：今天的儿童接触到各种媒体设备，他们对这些设备的使用正在增加。之前的研究已经概述了这可能导致的伤害形式。然而，很少有经验性的研究，在亚洲学龄前儿童使用媒体设备。本研究的目的是检查和分析韩国学龄前儿童使用媒体设备的纵向趋势，专注于参与的频率，花费的时间，和媒体设备的所有权，划定的sexual.Methods：四百名2-5岁的儿童的父母被邀请参加。基线评估（第1波）在2015年12月至2016年6月期间进行，随访评估（第2波和第3波）在随后的2年中每年进行一次。媒体使用的时间，媒体使用的频率，和媒体设备（电视，平板电脑，智能手机）的所有权进行了调查。结果：平板电脑的所有权之间的波1和波3的男孩和女孩显着增加（校正P < 0.001）。仅在使用平板电脑的男孩中，第1波和第3波之间媒体使用频率显著增加（平均差异为0.8天/周）。在所有设备中，通过工作日和周末的平均差异测量，两种性别的媒体使用时间在Wave 1和Wave 3之间显著增加（电视为0.6和0.7小时/天，平板电脑为0.6和0.8小时/天，智能手机为0.4和0.4小时/天）。儿童花更多的时间使用媒体设备在周末比在平日。结论：这项研究观察到在韩国学龄前儿童的媒体设备使用的趋势增加。使用模式表明，需要注意儿童使用的设备类型，以及在周末保持警惕。
Background: Children today are exposed to various media devices, and their usage of these is increasing. Prior studies have outlined forms of harm this can potentially cause. However, there has been little empirical research on the use of media devices among preschool children in Asia. The aim of this study was to examine and analyze longitudinal trends in media device use among Korean preschool children, focusing on the frequency of engagement, time spent with, and ownership of media devices, delineated by sex.Methods: Four hundred parents of children aged 2-5 years were invited to enroll. The baseline assessment, Wave 1, was conducted between December 2015 and June 2016, and follow-up assessments, Wave 2 and Wave 3, were conducted annually for the following 2 years. Time of media use, frequency of media use, and ownership of media devices (TV, tablet PCs, and smartphones) were investigated.Results: Ownership of tablet PCs increased significantly between Wave 1 and Wave 3 for boys and girls (corrected P < 0.001). Frequency of media use increased significantly between Wave 1 and Wave 3 only in boys' use of tablet PCs (mean difference 0.8 day/wk). Time of media use increased significantly between Wave 1 and Wave 3 for both sexes in all devices, measured by mean difference on weekdays and weekends (TV by 0.6 and 0.7 hr/day, tablet PCs by 0.6 and 0.8 hr/day, and smartphones by 0.4 and 0.4 hr/day). Children spent more time using media devices during weekends than on weekdays.Conclusion: This study observed an increase in the tendency of media device use among preschool children in Korea. The patterns of use indicate that paying attention to the types of devices children use is needed, as well as vigilance on weekends.
