Abstract

Background Digital technologies proliferate in many people’s lives around the world with over 65% of these technology users being online. Children and youth are among the most prominent adopters of digital technologies in forms such as video gaming, social media, and online shopping. Problematic use of digital technologies can lead to poorer school/work performance, neglect of self-care skills, and comorbidities with other mental health issues. However, when used non-problematically, digital technology can also contribute to improving health and well-being. With the abundance of literature published, many reviews have sought to collate literature on treatment and interventions for children and youth with varying results. Thus, our proposed systematic review aims to synthesize current systematic reviews and meta-analyses on interventions and treatment of problematic digital technology use in children and youth (up to 25 years old). Methods As part of a three-paper series, a systematic search was completed in PsycINFO, Web of Science, and PubMed databases. Grey literature databases of the World Health Organization (IRIS database) and ClinicalTrials.gov were also searched. Furthermore, hand-searching of reference lists was also conducted. Title and abstract screening, followed by full-text screening, were completed by at least two independent reviewers. For this review, the extractions and the quality of selected reviews will be assessed using AMSTAR 2.0 by two authors independently and reviewed by two additional authors. Results Results will be presented in narrative and tabular form. The results of this study are expected to offer insights into the populations of children and youth studied, treatments/interventions provided, outcomes, results, limitations, and conclusions of literature from the past five years. Feasibility and generalizability of the reviews will also be discussed. Conclusions Methodological strengths and weaknesses of reviewed studies will point to gaps in knowledge and can be used to inform future areas of policy and research.

儿童和青少年的数字福祉：对问题数字技术使用干预措施进行全面系统审查的议定书

背景数字技术在全世界许多人的生活中广泛应用，其中 65% 以上的技术用户都会上网。儿童和青少年是电子游戏、社交媒体和网上购物等数字技术的最主要使用者。有问题地使用数字技术可能会导致学习/工作表现较差、忽视自我保健技能以及合并其他心理健康问题。然而，如果使用时没有问题，数字技术也能有助于改善健康和幸福。随着大量文献的发表，许多综述都试图整理有关儿童和青少年治疗和干预的文献，但结果各不相同。因此，我们建议的系统性综述旨在综合当前有关儿童和青少年（25 岁以下）使用问题数字技术的干预和治疗的系统性综述和荟萃分析。方法作为三篇系列论文的一部分，我们在 PsycINFO、Web of Science 和 PubMed 数据库中完成了系统性检索。还检索了世界卫生组织的灰色文献数据库（IRIS 数据库）和 ClinicalTrials.gov。此外，还对参考文献目录进行了人工检索。标题和摘要筛选以及全文筛选均由至少两名独立审稿人完成。在本综述中，两位作者将使用 AMSTAR 2.0 对所选综述的摘录和质量进行独立评估，并由另外两位作者进行审核。结果结果将以叙述和表格的形式呈现。本研究的结果将有助于深入了解所研究的儿童和青少年群体、所提供的治疗/干预措施、结果、成果、局限性以及过去五年文献的结论。此外，还将讨论综述的可行性和可推广性。结论受审查研究在方法上的优缺点将指出知识上的差距，并可用于为未来的政策和研究领域提供信息。
