Material And Methods: A quantitative research approach and a pre-experimental research design were adopted for the study. A total of 80 samples by means of convenient sampling technique were recruited for the study. The study was conducted in 2023 among 80 samples who were recruited by means of convenient sampling technique. A structured questionnaire that consisted of multiple choice questions was used to assess the level of knowledge, and a 5-point Likert scale was used to determine the attitude. A parental education program which consisted of two sessions was imparted to the parents, and the post-test was carried out after 7 days. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The results revealed that the most commonly used electronic gadget was smart phones (63%). A significant improvement in the level of knowledge and attitude was seen at < 0.001. A statistically significant association existed between the level of knowledge and education at < 0.05.
Conclusion: The study finding concluded that the majority of parents had inadequate knowledge and attitude about guidelines on screen time and digital wellness. Hence, it is imperative that an awareness program needs to be provided, which would eventually benefit the children and the family.
