Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore preschool children’s screen time and influencing factors on preschool children’s screen time.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was employed. A total of 376 mothers with preschool children participated in the study from 4 kindergartens in Daejeon. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires.
Results: Mean of screen time of preschool children was 142.07 minutes per day and 53.7% of them had inappropriate level of screen time. Significant factors influencing screen time of preschool children were children’s age (β=-.16, p=.001), mothers’ education level (β=-.19, p=.001), mothers’ screen time (β=.34, p<.001), attitude toward children’s screen use (β=.16, p=001), which explained 28.7% of the variance in preschool children’s screen time (F=12.82, p<.001).
Conclusion: To maintain appropriate screen time of preschool children, parents should be role model for screen use and they need to keep proper attitude toward children’s screen use. Therefore, parental education and appropriate information should be provided.
