This comparative quantitative study examined smartphone addiction rates among children using a modified Smartphone Addiction Questionnaire, focusing on differences between preschool and primary school students to inform prevention and health promotion strategies. For preschool participants, parents completed the questionnaire, whereas for primary school children, both parents and children provided responses. The assessment tool demonstrated robust psychometric properties, with validity established through rigorous evaluation and high internal consistency for both the childrens and parents scales, as indicated by Cronbachs alpha coefficients. The study cohort comprised 832 participants, including 104 preschool-aged children, 336 parents of primary school-aged children, and 392 primary school students. The prevalence of smartphone addiction differed significantly across groups, with primary school students exhibiting higher rates than preschool-aged children (p < 0.05). This disparity was consistent across both parent- and child-reported measures. Nevertheless, 3.8% of preschool-aged children were classified as high risk for smartphone addiction, with an additional 1% at very high risk, necessitating parental vigilance. Among primary school students, the prevalence was higher, with 7.4%–9.8% at high risk and 0.8%–2.1% at very high risk.

The study concludes that there is a difference in smartphone addiction tendencies between preschool and primary school children, with primary school students exhibiting higher tendencies.Despite generally low tendencies, parents should remain vigilant as a small percentage of preschool children are at high or very high risk.Furthermore, a significant portion of primary school students also demonstrate a high risk of smartphone addiction, highlighting the need for preventative measures and parental guidance.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk menggali lebih dalam faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi kecanduan smartphone pada anak-anak, seperti peran lingkungan keluarga, pengaruh teman sebaya, dan karakteristik psikologis individu. Sebagai contoh, sebuah studi kualitatif dapat dilakukan untuk memahami pengalaman dan perspektif anak-anak dan orang tua mengenai penggunaan smartphone dan dampaknya terhadap kehidupan sehari-hari. Selain itu, penelitian intervensi yang bertujuan untuk mengembangkan dan menguji efektivitas program pencegahan kecanduan smartphone pada anak-anak usia dini dan sekolah dasar sangat diperlukan. Program ini dapat mencakup pelatihan keterampilan manajemen diri, peningkatan kesadaran tentang risiko kecanduan smartphone, dan promosi kegiatan alternatif yang sehat dan positif. Terakhir, penelitian longitudinal yang melacak perkembangan penggunaan smartphone dan kecanduan pada anak-anak dari waktu ke waktu dapat memberikan wawasan yang berharga tentang lintasan perkembangan kecanduan smartphone dan faktor-faktor yang memprediksi risiko jangka panjang.
