A correlative study on screen time, quality of sleep and physical activity among
children at selected schools, Mangalore.
2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A descriptive correlative study will be done to assess the screen time, quality of sleep
and physical activity among children. The study samples are children aged 13-15years
studying in selected schools in Mangalore. Stratified random sampling technique will be
adopted to select study subjects. Physical activity questionnaire for adolescents, Screen
Time questionnaire and Pittsburgh QOS index will be used to collect the data. Data will
be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Children in the age group twelve to sixteen year experience many changes, including
physical, mental, and social development. During this course of time, their interest spreads
to varied areas and the gadgets are the one to which children get attracted to. Children
become addicted to gadgets which affects their sleep quality as well physical activity.
A study conducted in China showed that children in school between the ages of 6 and 14
spent 2.77 hours on average per day in front of a screen, with 46.4% of them spending more
than 2 hours on average.7 Comparing studies conducted in the same nations and regions prior
to and following the COVID-19 epidemic allows one to infer a general growth tendency.
Screen time among school-aged children increased from 41.3% to 59.4% after january 2020,
with 2 or more hours of daily screen time.7
In Brazil a study was conducted which showed that there is a dearth of information on
adolescents' screen use, sleep habits, and physical activity in Brazil, a nation with a moderate
income level. By polling 58,535 teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17, this study sought
to close this gap. Only 8.7% of respondents to the study met all three recommendations for
screen time, sleep, and physical exercise. On the other hand, 46.4% of respondents satisfied
there commendations for physical activity,42.5% for screen time, and 40% for sleep duration.
The study also discovered that residing in less develop dare as, being a male adolescent, and
being between the ages of 14 and 15 increased the likelihood of meeting the standards. These
results imply that the movement habits of teenagers maybe negatively impacted by
urbanization.8
A study was conducted in rural India, among secondary school students located in the rural
field practice area of a Private Medical College in Pune district of Maharashtra. The research
involved 184 students from eigth to tenth grades. The study revealed that 83.2% of them used
screens for more than the suggested two hours each day, 18% of kids spent more than two
hours a day in front of a screen.9
In Karnataka a comparative study was conducted among high school students which showed
that Urban kids had a mean total screen time of 177 minutes, whereas rural students had a
mean total screen time of 93 minutes.9

quality of sleep and physical activity
The availability and usage of electronic gadgets, including computers, tablets, video
games, consoles, televisions, and cellphones, have significantly expanded during the past
few decades.6As per the guidelines of American academy of child and adolescent
psychiatry recommends screen time 2 hours or less for children 6 years and
above.10Exercise must be done in accordance with World health organization guidelines
in order to be beneficial. Children and adolescents should engage in 60 minutes of
moderate-vigorous physical activity each day, primarily aerobic, with muscle-
strengthening and bone-strengthening activities on at least three days per week. 11At the
same time, the prevalence of insomnia and sleep deprivation have risen. Poor sleep (too
little or too much, and poor quality) has been shown to be a risk factor for obesity,
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, and overall mortality.12
A study which was conducted in Brazil on 25 th Dec 2023 has shown that poor sleep quality
was observed in 52.3 % of the sample, whereas 46.6 % reported sleeping less than eight
hours/day. Inadequate physical activity among adolescents was linked to high screen time,
which in turn was associated with poor sleep quality (OR = 1.45; 95 %CI = 1.01-2.12) and
insufficient sleep duration(OR = 1.52; 95 %CI = 1.01-2.03). There were no associations
between screen time and sleep parameters in active adolescents.13
A study which was conducted in Karnataka to assess the relationship between quality of
sleep, physical activity and screen time has shown that nearly every night, 70%of urban and
51.6% of rural students used their cellphones, while 95% of urban and 76% of rural students
watched television. The urban group's overall screen time was almost twice as long as the
rural group's.14
The investigators in their day to day practice has observed that children these days spend
most of their time in front of screen and are not interested in physical activities. This could
affect their sleep quality as well. Therefore the investigators are interested to study if there is
a relationship between screen time, physical activities and sleep quality among school
children.

6. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
association (p <0.001) between screen time and sleep duration, a positive correlation (p
<0.001) between screen time and BMI, and a negative correlation (p <0.001) between
sleep duration and BMI. The amount of time spent on screens was correlated with both
BMI and sleep length. The study found that children averaged 97.75 minutes of screen
time,11.1 hours of sleep, and a BMI of 16.58. No significant differences were found
between boys and girls.1
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 2016 . Participants were recruited through online
and social media advertisements, email campaigns with research organizations, and in-person
at medical clinics affiliated with The University of California, San Francisco. To examine the
smartphone usage of 653 individuals and its connection to their sleep quality. Demographics,
medical information, and sleep habits (Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index-PSQI). They discovered
that: - The average daily screen time was 38.4 hours over 30 days; - Longer screen times were
associated with younger ages and specific racial/ethnic groupings (Black and "Other").
Extended periods of screen time were linked to: - Reduced sleep efficiency - Extended sleep
onset delay - Decreased sleep quality although the exact cause of the findings is unknown,
they do imply that excessive smartphone use may have a harmful effect on sleep. The study
emphasizes how crucial it is to take smartphone use into account when having conversations
about sleep hygiene.16

A cross sectional study conducted to find the relationship between screen time and sleep
quality in 600 under graduate students (ages 17 to 24) in Karachi. The sampling
technique was Multi staged sampling. Instruments comprised of three parts 1)
Demographic profile, 2) Sleep quality measure, 3) Screen time usage measures. They
found :- Mean sleep duration was 6.7 hours - 71% of students had poor sleep quality-
Students with>2hoursofscreentime on weekdays had 4.23times higher odds of poor sleep
quality - Students with >2 hours of screen time on weekends had 24.15 times higher
odds of poor sleep quality. The studys findings suggest that excessive screen time
negatively impacts sleep quality in young adults, underscoring the needs for public
health stratergies to promote healthy screen use behaviours.2
A study involving 694 Spanish adolescents explored the levels and relationship
between screen time, sleep duration and physical activity. The study design was
non-experimental, descriptive-correlational and cross-sectional. Participants
completed four One-Day Physical Activity Questionnaires. Statistical analysis used
t-tests and Pearsons correlation to examine physical activity, screen time, and
sleep duration. Findings revealed: - The average daily screen time for men was
greater (136.93 min). - Weekends saw higher levels of screen time, sleep duration,
and moderate-to-intense physical activity. - Positive relationships between screen
time and light physical activity Negative relationships between moderate-
vigorous physical activity and screen time Study finds more screen time means less
sleep time in males, with habits varying by gender and day of the week.17

quality of sleep and physical activity
For the following set of questions, background screen is defined as the use of a television or another screen
near you while performing other activities such as exercising, cooking, and interacting with family/friends.
Thinking about a regular weekday (Monday through Friday), on average, how many hours over the course
of the whole day (from when you wake up until you go to sleep) are you exposed to background screen use?
Example: If you exercise in the morning for one hour while watching the TV news, you use your smartphone
for one hour while eating lunch and an additional 30 minutes while eating dinner, you would estimate that
you are exposed to 2 hours and 30 minutes of background screen use per day.

Background screen use on a regular
weekday
Now we want to ask about background screen use during the evening specifically. On average,
how many hours per evening (Monday through Friday) are you exposed to background
screen use from when you return from work until you go to sleep?
Example: If you regularly prepare dinner with the television on for one hour, and you keep
the television on for an additional hour while using your smartphone for social media use,
you can estimate that you are exposed to 2 hours of background screen use every evening.

Now we want to ask about background screen use during the weekend. Thinking about a regular weekend
day (Saturday or Sunday), on average, how many hours over the course of the whole day (from when you
wake up until you go to sleep) are you exposed to background screen use?
Example: If you have the television on while you do some online shopping for two hours, and you keep the
television on when friends come over to visit for an additional two hours, you can estimate that you are
exposed to 4 hours of background screen use every evening.
