The use of social media by primary school children : An interview study on school nurses’ experiences (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Enligt tidigare forskning utgör sociala medier en hälsopåverkan på äldre barn och ungdomar utifrån bland annat nedsatt välbefinnande, låg självkänsla, beroende och internetmobbning. Det saknas i nuläget forskning kring om lågstadiebarn använder sociala medier och vilka negativa och positiva aspekter som i sådana fall finns med användningen. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa skolsköterskors erfarenheter av lågstadiebarns användning av sociala medier. Metod: En empirisk kvalitativ design tillämpades. Sex skolsköterskor i två städer i sydvästra Sverige deltog. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes och analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysarbetet ledde fram till tre huvudkategorier: Barnen befinner sig i ett digitaliserat samhälle, Användningen kan innebära en risk för yngre barn och Vikten av begränsning. Skolsköterskorna erfarenhet var att sociala medier kan påverka barnen genom att bland annat leda till stress, beroende, fysisk inaktivitet och sömnbrist. Barn som blir utsatta för mobbning beskrevs kunna nås dygnet runt via sociala medier. Användningen upplevdes även kunna vara utvecklande och lärorik. Slutsats: Skolsköterskorna upplevde att lågstadiebarn använder sig av sociala medier trots att de ej uppnått aktuella åldersgränser. Användningen beskrevs öka med åldern och förekom främst i hemmet. Mer forskning krävs för att belysa lågstadiebarns användning av sociala medier och dess påverkan för ett fortsatt hälsofrämjande arbete.

Abstract [en]

Background: Previous research on social media constitutes a health impact on children and adolescents based on reduced well-being, low self-esteem, addiction and internet bullying. There is currently no research on primary school children’s use of social media and negative and positive aspects. Aim: The aim was to highlight school nurses' experiences of the use of social media by primary school children. Method: An empirical qualitative design was applied. Six school nurses in two cities in southwest Sweden participated. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed with a qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis led to three main categories: Children in a digitized society, The use could lead to risks and Importance of limitation. School nurses considered that social media affect the children by conduce to stress, addiction, physical inactivity and sleep deprivation. Also, children who were exposed to bullying could be reached 24 hours a day. Social media could also be developing and educational. Conclusion: The school nurses experienced that primary school children use social media despite current age limits. The use increased with age and occurred mainly in the homes. More researched is needed about the social media use by primary school children and its impact to continue health promotion.
