Peningkatan atensi terhadap penggunaan Screen Time orang tua maupun anak sudah menjadi bagian integral dalam kehidupan. Sayangnya, anak usia sekolah saat ini lebih sering beraktivitas dengan hanya menatap layar selama waktu yang lama. Hal itu, membuat anak terpapar layar dengan durasi yang melebihi rekomendasi sehingga menimbulkan efek negatif terhadap tumbuh kembang anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat gambaran Screen Time dan mengidentifikasi hubungan lama Screen Time dengan perkembangan sosial. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan cross-sectional pada 285 responden orang tua yang sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi melalui metode stratified sampling. Instrumen SCREENS-Q untuk mengukur Screen Time dan Strength and difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) mengukur perkembangan sosial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 74,4% anak mengalami Screen Time berlebihan dan terdapat hubungan antara lama Screen Time dengan setiap sub-skala perkembangan sosial (p value <0,05). Peneliti merekomendasikan adanya sosialisasi dan kerjasama pihak tenaga kesehatan dengan orang tua untuk mencari solusi bersama mengatasi permasalahan ini.

Increasing attention to the use of Screen Time for parents and children has become an integral part of life. Unfortunately, today's school-age children are more active by just staring at the screen for a long time. This causes children to be exposed to screens for a duration that exceeds the recommendations, which has a negative effect on children's development. This study aims to look at the description of Screen Time and identify the relationship between long Screen Time and social development. The study used a cross-sectional approach to 285 parents who fit the inclusion criteria through a stratified sampling method. The SCREENS-Q instrument to measure Screen Time and the Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire (SDQ) to measure social development. The results showed that 74.4% of children experienced excessive Screen Time and there was a relationship between the length of Screen Time and each social development sub-scale (p value <0.05). Researchers recommend socialization and collaboration between health workers and parents to find solutions together to overcome this problem.
