COVID-19 caused a sustained increase in recreational screen time among children, especially during the week Children Coronavirus Disease COVID19 Pandemic ScreenTime JAMAPediatrics universitelaval UCalgary uOttawa
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Apr 11 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 , has significantly impacted the daily life of children. As a result, the majority of governments across the world implemented nationwide travel and social COVID-19 restrictions to prevent the further spread of the disease. Unfortunately, this has resulted in increased sedentary behavior among children.
Background A meta-analysis based on 29,017 children revealed that daily screen time increased from 1.4 hours to 2.7 hours during the pandemic. As schools were closed, children were provided with online education, which could be the reason for the increase in screen time. However, it is vital to understand whether screen time remained the same after the pandemic restrictions were changed.
Children’s screen time was defined as the amount of time spent on a tablet, smartphone, gaming, or computer device for fun and nothing related to school work. Screen time was reported in hours per weekday and weekend day. During COVID-1, schools were mostly closed but open in the subsequent waves. Multilevel modeling was performed using data from three waves via MPlus.
Compared to the pre-pandemic timeline, the screen time on weekdays during the COVID-1 wave was 1.35 hours more daily. However, in the COVID-2 wave, mothers and children reported fewer hours of daily screen time compared to COVID-1. Although no difference in mean screen time was found between the COVID-2 and COVID-3 waves, they were individually higher compared to pre-pandemic estimates.
