- Abstract
- Purpose: This study examines the impact of problematic smartphone use (PSU) on children aged six years and younger, as perceived by their main caregivers. Method: Overall, 15 mothers who identified that their children used smartphones excessively were recruited and interviewed. Data were analyzed using summative content analysis. Findings: Participants reported various impacts of PSU that were categorized into developmental, behavioral, health, quality of life, and parent-child relational perspectives. Practical implications: Efforts to prevent PSU in children are needed. Nurses' roles in the early assessment of PSU are essential. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
