Abstract

The review reflects the research of specialists in the field of hygiene on the problem of the impact of the use of digital devices on the health of schoolchildren and students (the research used the survey method and medical methods). The relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that, firstly, the child and adolescent population and young people have become active users of TS, and secondly, the emerging body of adolescents and especially children is more susceptible to external negative influences. Another important reason is the intensification and digitalization of the educational process. The review presents works that study: 1) the impact of the use of CU by students on their well-being and the appearance of complaints (from the side of vision, musculoskeletal system, nervous system, etc.) and on their morbidity; 2) the knowledge of students about hygiene recommendations and their assessment of the health risks of uncontrolled use of CU; 3) the prevalence of the use of CU that creates health risks. Statistically significant links were found between the increase in the duration of the use of CU and the appearance of various complaints about the state of health in schoolchildren and students. The risks to health are shown with frequent use of various data centers. It is noted that there is a need for state measures aimed at preserving the health of students in the digital environment and the participation of all socialization institutions in the formation of healthy lifestyle skills and the safe use of TSU in the younger generation. The review may be of interest to specialists in the field of health sociology.
