Abstract
En los últimos años, el acceso a dispositivos tecnológicos como celulares, tabletas y otros medios digitales ha aumentado rápidamente, incluso en contextos rurales y semiurbanos, tal es el caso del municipio de Isnos ubicado en el departamento del Huila, Colombia. Esta tendencia, acentuada durante y después de la pandemia por COVID-19, provocaron que la población infantil permanezca expuesta durante extensos periodos a dispositivos digitales, sin la orientación y supervisión de una persona adulta. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar los efectos del uso prolongado de pantallas digitales en el comportamiento emocional, las interacciones sociales, el sueño y las actividades cotidianas de los niños de la vereda Las Guacas del municipio de Isnos, Huila. Para llevar a cabo este trabajo, se orientó el proceso desde la línea investigativa cualitativa de tipo descriptivo. Como técnica de recolección de datos, se utilizó la observación directa, testimonios familiares y entrevista semiestructurada aplicada a padres de familia y cuidadores de los niños del hogar de bienestar de la vereda las Guacas. Investigaciones, como las de Forero (2023), han señalado que el tiempo excesivo frente a dispositivos está asociado con problemas de conducta, específicamente irritabilidad, impulsividad, retraimiento social y dificultades para concentrarse, circunstancias palpables en centros urbanos y rurales donde los niños de primera infancia protagonizan pataletas y desmanes con sus padres y cuidadores en eventos donde se pretende cortar el acceso a los equipos móviles. A nivel local, docentes y profesionales de la salud han comenzado a evidenciar patrones conductuales que reflejan cambios en el comportamiento usual de los pequeños, situación que afecta la creatividad, el juego simbólico y la capacidad de interacción social.
In recent years, access to technological devices such as cell phones, tablets, and other digital media has increased rapidly, even in rural and semi-urban contexts, as is the case in the municipality of Isnos located in the department of Huila, Colombia. This trend, accentuated during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to children being exposed to digital devices for extended periods of time without adult guidance and supervision. For this reason, the objective of this research was to analyze the effects of prolonged use of digital screens on the emotional behavior, social interactions, sleep, and daily activities of children in the village of Las Guacas in the municipality of Isnos, Huila. To carry out this work, the process was guided by a descriptive qualitative research approach. Direct observation, family testimonies, and semistructured interviews with parents and caregivers of children in the Las Guacas welfare home were used as data collection techniques. Various studies, such as those by Forero (2023), have pointed out that excessive time spent in front of devices is associated with behavioral problems, specifically irritability, impulsivity, social withdrawal, and difficulty concentrating. These circumstances are evident in urban and rural centers where young children throw tantrums and act out with their parents and caregivers at events where access to mobile devices is restricted. At the local level, teachers and health professionals have begun to observe behavioral patterns that reflect changes in children's usual behavior, a situation that affects creativity, symbolic play, and the ability to interact socially.
