Abstract

The study aimed to reveal the negative effects of electronic addiction on children in the health field and mechanisms to reduce them from the experts' point of view. To achieve this goal, the study used the descriptive method, and relied on the questionnaire in data collection, and was applied to a sample of (388) faculty members distributed according to the variables of gender (male/female), college (education/social sciences/health sciences) and scientific degree (professor/associate professor/assistant professor). The results indicated that the negative effects of electronic addiction on children in the health field were high, and that the study sample members' agreement with the proposed mechanisms to reduce the negative effects of electronic addiction on children in the health field was high. The results also indicated that there are no statistically significant differences in the responses of the study sample members due to the gender variable, while there are statistically significant differences in the responses of the study sample members due to the college variable in favor of faculty members of the College of Health Sciences, and there are statistically significant differences in the responses of the study sample members due to the degree variable in favor of professors.
