Abstract:
Background
Computer games have often been considered to have a negative impact on children’s sleep. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of distance teaching for mothers on the sleep habits related to computer games among the primary school boys living in Zahedan, Iran, during 2020.
Methods
The present quasi-experimental study was carried out on the primary school students. 144 male students were randomly selected in two groups of intervention and control. Data collection tools included the Child Sleep Habits and demographic information Questionnaires. If the student was in the intervention group, before the intervention, the researcher held a face-to-face meeting with his mother to complete the questionnaire. Then, I created a group for mothers in Telegram and WhatsApp. The intervention was conducted in 4 weeks, during which the researcher sent the educational texts and videos to the students’ mothers, three times a week. Eight weeks later, the Sleep Habits Questionnaire was completed by the mothers. If the student was assigned to the control group, the demographic information and Sleep Habits Questionnaires were completed by the mothers, as the pre-test. No intervention was made for this group; and the post-test was completed after 8 weeks by the mothers. Data analysis was performed through IBM SPS.
Results
The results revealed that the mean and standard deviation of the sleep habits score and its dimensions were not significantly different in the intervention and control groups (P>0.05) before the intervention. However, after the intervention, the sleep habits score and its dimensions showed significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Maintaining the physical and mental health of students is an important responsibility of pediatric nurses and parents. It is suggested that teaching sleep habits to mothers should be considered.
