背景专家们对幼儿使用屏幕时间进行了激烈的辩论。这项研究探讨了在COVID-19大流行期间有幼儿的母亲对屏幕时间的利用情况。这项研究的目的是了解母亲使用屏幕时间的动机，以及自大流行开始以来母亲如何参与屏幕时间。方法本文使用了25位母亲的样本，这些母亲参加了关于COVID-19大流行期间养育子女的深入访谈。该小组采用专题分析方法对记录本进行定性编码。所有分析均在Dedoose 8.3中进行，所有转录本均由三名独立研究人员进行编码，以提高严谨性。结果从访谈中出现了五个主要主题：（1）隐藏屏幕内疚与放手，（2）管理全职工作和全职育儿，（3）优先考虑精神健全，（4）社会疏远支持需求屏幕时间和（5）屏幕也可以有积极的用途。结论在COVID-19大流行期间，母亲们诉诸屏幕时间来科普增加的压力和挑战。然而，母亲们也发现了屏幕时间的积极用途，例如与大家庭成员的联系，同伴互动和教育活动。研究结果强调，需要区分屏幕时间的使用质量和更新正式的屏幕时间的指导方针，考虑不断变化的技术角色。
Background The use of screen time for young children has been hotly debated among experts. This study explored the utilization of screen time among mothers with young children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study was to understand maternal motivation for utilizing screen time and how mothers have engaged in screen time since the beginning of the pandemic. Method This paper uses a sample of n = 25 mothers who participated in an in-depth interview about parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic. The team utilized a thematic analysis approach to qualitatively code the transcripts. All analyses were conducted in Dedoose 8.3, and all transcripts were coded by three independent researchers to enhance rigour. Results Five main themes emerged from the interviews: (1) harbouring screen guilt versus letting it go, (2) managing full-time work and full-time parenting, (3) prioritizing mental sanity, (4) socially distant supports demand screen time and (5) screens can have positive uses, too. Conclusion During the COVID-19 pandemic, mothers have resorted to screen time use to cope with increased stress and challenges. However, mothers have also found positive uses for screen time, such as connection with extended family members, peer interaction and educational activities. Findings highlight the need to differentiate screen time use by quality and to update formal screen time guidelines considering changing roles of technology.
