Associations between nature exposure, screen use, and parent-child relations: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent research suggests that children spend increasing amounts of time engaging in screen-based activities and less time outdoors in natural environments. There is a growing body of theory-driven literature evidencing that child screen use and exposure to nature are associated with wellbeing outcomes in contrasting ways. However, few studies have explored their combinative effects, and the relational family context has been largely overlooked.

Objective

This scoping review explored associations between early-late childhood nature exposure, screen use, and parent-child relations to identify research gaps and inform future research direction.

Methods

This review was guided by Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage methodological framework and other relevant guidel
