ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AWARENESS PROGRAM ON THE IMPACT OF EXCESSIVE SCREEN TIME ON ADOLESCENT WELL-BEING

Abstract

Introduction: In todays technology-driven world, shielding adolescents from electronic devices is nearly impossible. However, it is crucial to promote responsible use of such gadgets. This study focuses on the impact of digital technology on the physical and mental health of adolescents during a critical developmental phase. Objectives: The primary aim was to assess the effectiveness of a teaching program in raising awareness among adolescent students, in Bangalore, about the negative effects of excessive gadget use and strategies to mitigate these issues. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study was conducted using a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. A convenience sample of 60 undergraduate adolescents participated. Data was collected through a pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire administered both before and after the intervention. Results: The study findings revealed a 51.14% improvement in overall knowledge scores post-intervention. The calculated t-value was 28.41, which was statistically significant (P < 0.001). These results indicate a significant enhancement in participants awareness, demonstrating the effectiveness of the teaching program. Conclusion: The study highlights digital technology as a potential challenge, particularly for the physical and mental well-being of adolescents. Educating young people about the responsible use of electronic devices is vital to their holistic development. Efforts to promote such awareness contribute to nurturing well-rounded and health-conscious citizens.
