Abstract

Introduction: The pervasive use of digital devices has raised concerns about the impact of screen time on early childhood development, particularly language skills. This study investigates the relationship between screen time exposure and language development in Indonesian children under five, while also analyzing the influence of socio-demographic and environmental risk factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 300 Indonesian children aged 1 to 5 years. Parents completed questionnaires on socio-demographics, screen time habits, and their child's language development (assessed using the Indonesian Early Language Development Scale - IELDS). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression to identify predictors of language delay. Results: Increased screen time was significantly correlated with lower scores on the IELDS, indicating delayed language development. Children with higher screen time were more likely to exhibit delays in expressive language, receptive language, and overall communication skills. Socio-economic status, parental education, and home language environment also emerged as significant predictors of language outcomes. Conclusion: This study provides compelling evidence for the negative association between screen time and language development in young Indonesian children. The findings underscore the importance of limiting screen time and promoting language-rich interactions during the critical early years.

Abstract

Introduction: Climate change is a global crisis with profound implications for mental health. Indonesia, as a highly vulnerable country, faces escalating environmental challenges that can significantly impact the psychological well-being of its population. This study investigates the psychological impacts of environmental distress related to climate change in Indonesia. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a representative sample of 1,500 Indonesian adults to assess the prevalence of mental health issues associated with climate change concerns and experiences. Qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 50 individuals from diverse backgrounds who reported experiencing significant environmental distress. Results: Quantitative analysis revealed a strong correlation between climate change concerns and various mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Individuals directly affected by extreme weather events exhibited higher levels of psychological distress. Qualitative findings highlighted the complex interplay of factors contributing to environmental distress, including fear of future impacts, loss of livelihoods, displacement, and cultural disruption. Conclusion: Climate change poses a significant threat to mental health in Indonesia. The findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive mental health support services and community-based interventions to address the psychological impacts of environmental distress. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of climate change on mental health and develop culturally appropriate coping strategies.
