Abstract | Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the digital detox programme's impact on the electronic screen syndrome among preparatory school students. Design: A quasi-experimental pre- and posttest group was used. Methods: Two preparatory governmental schools. Sample: purposive sample consists of 105 students. Tools: Two tools used for data collection: Student's datasheet and Electronic Screen Addiction Scale. The data collection period took six months, from September 2021 to February 2022. Results: The high rate of screen addiction among students dropped to 14.3% in the posttest compared with 20.0% in the pre-test. Moreover, the students' proportion with moderate screen addiction dropped from 65.7% on the pre-test to 43.8% on the posttest. Furthermore, screen addiction students with lower levels were about 41.9% in the posttest and 14.3% in the pre-test. Conclusions: There was a highly statistically significant difference between school students' total electronic screen scores in the pre- and posttest. A preventive care programme is recommended for high school children and helps raise screen addiction's awareness and its negative consequences. Patient or public contribution: No patient or public contribution. |
