Abstract

U zadnjih nekoliko desetljeća razni autori izvješćuju o porastu kroničnih bolesti u djetinjstvu.
Kronične bolesti u ovom razvojnom periodu prijete optimalnom psihosocijalnom razvoju te
utječu na svakodnevno funkcioniranje pojedinca i njegove obitelji. Digitalna tehnologija sa
svojim prednostima i nedostacima u 21. stoljeću predstavlja nezaobilazan dio svakodnevnog
života djece i mladih koji ju koriste u različite svrhe. U stranoj literaturi termin screen time
odnosi se na pasivnu aktivnost tijekom koje pojedinac koristi mobilne uređaje, poput
mobitela, tableta i računala.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati navike korištenja digitalnih medija djece i mladih s
kroničnim bolestima te utvrditi postoji li povezanost između prosječnog trajanja korištenja
digitalnih medija i uključivanja u druge aktivnosti svakodnevnog života kod ove populacije.
Sudionici ovog istraživanja bili su roditelji djece i mladih s kroničnim bolestima (N=47).
Za potrebe prikupljanja podataka korišten je anketni upitnik sastavljen od općih podataka o
djetetu i roditeljima te modificirani Children and Technology Research Questionnaire
(Taylor, 2012). Podaci su obrađivani primjerenim kvantitativnim metoda, a korišten je
deskriptivni i asocijativni znanstveno-istraživački pristup.
Rezultati pokazuju da djeca i mladi s kroničnim bolestima koriste više od jednog digitalnog
uređaja i to u različite svrhe. Najviše djece i mladih koristi digitalne medije dva i više sata
dnevno što prelazi preporučeni period korištenja. Digitalni uređaji imaju svoje mjesto u
večernjoj i jutarnjoj rutini, tijekom dnevnih obroka i obiteljskih druženja. Utvrđena je i
negativna povezanost između prosječnog trajanja korištenja digitalnih medija i trajanja sna.
Roditelji djece i mladih s kroničnim bolestima u velikoj mjeri ne traže stručnu pomoć u ovom
području. Važno je istraživanje ove teme radi edukacije i osnaživanja roditelja te
omogućavanja uravnotežene svakodnevice djece i mladih s kroničnim bolestima.

Abstract (english)

In the last few decades, various authors report on the increase of chronic diseases in
childhood. Chronic disease includes different physical, emotional and mental difficulties.
These difficulties limit children and adolescents and their families in daily functioning.
Accordingly, chronic diseases in childhood represent a risk with a potential negative effect on
the child's psychosocial development.
Digital technology and media are used in the daily activities of both adults and youth. Screen
time refers to the total time which an individual spends using the mobile digital devices such
as smartphone, tablet, computer, game consoles and more.
The aim of this research was to examine the habits of using digital media of children and
young people with chronic diseases and to determine whether there is a connection between
the habits of using digital media and involvement in other daily life activities.
The participants of this study were parents of children and young people with chronic
diseases (N=47).
For the purposes of data collection, a survey questionnaire contained general information
about the child and parents and modified Children and Technology Research Questionnaire
(Taylor, 2012). The data were processed using appropriate quantitative methods. Descriptive
and associative scientific-research approaches were used.
The results show that children and young people with chronic diseases use more than one
digital device for different purposes. Most children and adolescents use digital media for 2 or
more hours a day, which exceeds the suggested recommendations for optimal digital media
usage. Digital devices are part of the evening and morning routine, during meals and family
gatherings. A negative correlation was found between the average duration of digital media
use and the duration of sleep. Parents of children and young people with chronic diseases
usually do not seek professional help in this area. It is important to research this topic in order
to educate parents as well as to enable a balanced everyday life for children and young people
with chronic diseases.
