HUBUNGAN SMARTPHONE ADDICTION DENGAN PERKEMBANGAN EMOSIONAL PADA ANAK USIA PRASEKOLAH DI TK WILAYAH KECAMATAN SYIAH KUALA

ABSTRAK
Penggunaan smartphone pada anak usia prasekolah terus meningkat dan menimbulkan kekhawatiran terhadap dampaknya pada perkembangan emosional. Secara global, lebih dari 30% anak usia dini telah terpapar perangkat digital. Penggunaan yang berlebihan berpotensi memicu masalah emosional dan perilaku, seperti tantrum, mudah marah, dan gangguan konsentrasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara smartphone addiction dengan perkembangan emosional anak usia prasekolah di TK wilayah Kecamatan Syiah Kuala. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuantitatif korelasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Teknik pengambilan data menggunakan proportional sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 155 responden. Instrumen penelitian meliputi Screen Dependency Scale (SDS) dan Kuesioner Masalah Mental Emosional (KMME). Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-Square. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar anak berada pada kategori kecanduan smartphone (61,9%), namun mayoritas memiliki perkembangan emosional yang tidak bermasalah (89%). Uji statistik menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara smartphone addiction dengan perkembangan emosional (p = 0,173). Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa perkembangan emosional anak tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh penggunaan smartphone, tetapi juga oleh kualitas pengasuhan dan pengawasan orang tua. Oleh karena itu, orang tua disarankan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman parenting, membatasi durasi penggunaan smartphone, serta menyediakan aktivitas bermain yang interaktif dan edukatif.

Globally, more than 30% of children in early childhood have been exposed to digital devices. Excessive smartphone use can trigger emotional and behavioral problems, such as temper tantrums, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. This study aimed to examine the relationship between smartphone addiction and emotional development among preschool-aged children in kindergartens within Syiah Kuala Subdistrict. This study employed a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected using proportional sampling, resulting in a sample of 155 respondents. The research instruments included the Screen Dependency Scale (SDS) and the Mental-Emotional Problems Questionnaire (KMME). Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of children were categorized as having smartphone addiction (61.9%), while most demonstrated no emotional development problems (89%). Statistical analysis indicated no significant relationship between smartphone addiction and emotional development (p = 0.173). These findings suggest that children’s emotional development is influenced not only by smartphone use but also by the quality of parenting and parental supervision. Therefore, parents are encouraged to enhace their parenting knowledge, limit smartphone use, and provide interactive, educational play activities.
