Repercussões do tempo de tela para a saúde de crianças e adolescentes: Uma revisão de escopo.

Abstract

To map the scientific evidence on the repercussions of screen time for the health of children and adolescents. Method: This is a Scoping review carried out in two databases, using the PCC strategy (population, concept and context). In the PubMed library, the descriptors screen time AND child AND adolescent were crossed, and the child AND screen time strategy was used in the Scopus database. The corpus was treated from content analysis. Result: Of the 9,090 articles identified, 1,410 were included for title reading and abstracts; of these, 12 were excluded by duplicates, and 173 studies selected for full reading. After this stage, 51 articles composed the corpus for analysis. After analysis, it was possible to list as thematic category: 1. Emotional, behavioral and biological alterations before the time of screens. Conclusion: The prevalence of emotional and behavioral problems correlated with increased screen time were dominant, which requires urgent implementation of parental and socio-emotional education programs to promote the health of children, adolescents and their families.
