“…15 The aim of this study was to develop and validate an instrument to assess children's overall addiction to DDs. As several studies have associated digital addiction with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder 8,19 ; stress [20][21][22] ; anxiety, depression, and narcissism 7,23 ; low self-esteem 7,[24][25][26] ; and poor academic performance, 4,27-29 a scale for assessing DD addiction will help in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of different symptoms among children aged 9-12 years.…”

Researchers worldwide have developed and validated several scales to assess various forms of adults' digital addiction. The urge for some of these scales found support in World Health Organization's inclusion of gaming disorder as a mental health condition in its eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases in June 2018. Additionally, several studies have shown that children are starting to use digital devices (DDs) (e.g., tablets and smartphones) at a very young age, including playing video games and engaging in social media. Consequently, the need for early detection of the risk of digital addiction among children is becoming more of a necessity. In the present study, the Digital Addiction Scale for Children (DASC)-a 25-item self-report instrument-was developed and validated to assess the behavior of children 9 to 12 years old in association with DD usage, including video gaming, social media, and texting. The sample comprised 822 participants (54.2 percent males), from grade 4 to grade 7. The DASC showed excellent internal consistency reliability (a = 0.936) and adequate concurrent and criterion-related validities. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the DASC fitted the data very well. The DASC paves the way to (a) help in early identification of children at risk of problematic use of DDs and/or becoming addicted to DDs and (b) stimulate further research concerning children from different cultural and contextual settings.

“…Nevertheless, exposure to electronic gameplay may be associated with overweight and obesity because of its potential to increase sedentary behavior and consumption of energy-dense foods and beverages [23,24]. In addition, general and especially excessive use of digital devices is associated with negative effects such as school difficulties, sleep disturbance, depression, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder [24-26]. Nowadays, serious and exergames are developed to overcome the adverse effects of gameplay by education combined with entertainment, known as “edutainment” [11,27].…”

Background Use of novel information and communication technologies are frequently discussed as promising tools to prevent and treat overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. Objective This survey aims to describe the preferences, motives, and needs of children and adolescents regarding nutrition and digital games. Methods We conducted a survey in 6 secondary schools in the southern region of Germany using a 43-item questionnaire. Questions referred to preferences, motives, and needs of children and adolescents regarding nutrition and digital games. In addition, knowledge regarding nutrition was assessed with 4 questions. We collected self-reported sociodemographic and anthropometric data. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed using SPSS. Results In total, 293 children and adolescents participated in the study, with ages 12-18 years (137 girls, 46.8%), weight 30.0-120.0 (mean 60.2 [SD 13.2]) kg, and height 1.4-2.0 (mean 1.7 [SD 0.1]) m. A total of 5.5% (16/290) correctly answered the 4 questions regarding nutrition knowledge. Study participants acquired digital nutritional information primarily from the internet (166/291, 57.0%) and television (97/291, 33.3%), while school education (161/291, 55.3%) and parents or other adults (209/291, 71.8%) were the most relevant nondigital information sources. Most participants (242/283, 85.5%) reported that they regularly play digital games. More than half (144/236, 61.0%) stated that they play digital games on a daily basis on their smartphones or tablets, and almost 70% (151/282, 66.5%) reported playing digital games for ≤30 minutes without any interruption. One-half of respondents (144/280, 51.4%) also stated that they were interested in receiving information about nutrition while playing digital games. Conclusions This survey suggests that nutrition knowledge in children and adolescents might be deficient. Most children and adolescents play digital games and express interest in acquiring nutritional information during digital gameplay. A digital game with a focus on sound nutrition could be a potential educational tool for imparting nutrition knowledge and promoting healthier nutrition behaviors in children and adolescents.

“…Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu (DEHB), dikkat eksikliği, dürtüsellik ve hareketlilik belirtileri ile giden, bireyin akademik başarısı, aile hayatı, sosyal ilişkileri ve benlik saygısı üzerine çeşitli olumsuz etkileri olan nöropsikiyatrik bir sendromdur (1) (8,9). Bu yüzden DEHB tanı öncesinde ve tedavi sırasında tiroid hormonlarına ait değerlerin takibi ve subklinik hipotiroidinin dışlanması önemlidir (8).…”

Hem tiroid hastalıklarında hem de DEHB'de ortak olarak görülebilen belirtiler (dikkati sürdürmekte güçlük, irritabilite, sinirlilik, depresyona yatkınlık) nedeniyle her iki hastalık birbirinin ayırıcı tanısında yer alabilir (8,9). Bu yüzden DEHB tanı öncesinde ve tedavi sırasında tiroid hormonlarına ait değerlerin takibi ve subklinik hipotiroidinin dışlanması önemlidir (8).…”

Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu (DEHB), son derece önemli akademik, sosyal ve psikiyatrik sorunlara yol açabilen bir hastalıktır. Genetik nedenli olmakla birlikte bazı eşlik eden durumlar kliniğin şiddetlenmesine neden olabilmektedir. Biz bu olgu sunumunda, Hashimoto Tiroiditi gelişen 14 yaşındaki bir kız hastada var olan dikkat eksikliği sorunlarının artışını ele aldık. DEHB'de; ilk başvuruda, tedaviye rağmen belirti şiddetinin azalmadığı ve klinik tablonun kötüleştiği durumlarda medikal açıdan hastanın değerlendirilmesi önem taşımaktadır. Bedensel işaretler ortaya çıkmadan bilişsel fonksiyon ve dikkat becerisindeki kötüleşme ile kendini gösteren Hashimoto Tiroiditi vakası; hastanın bütün olarak ele alınmasının önemini, zihinsel işlevler ile bedensel işlevlerin birbirinden ayrı düşünülemeyeceğini göstermesi bakımından paylaşılmaya değer bulunmuştur.
