Resumo

Objetivo: Analisar as evidências científicas sobre os efeitos do uso de telas no desenvolvimento físico, cognitivo e psicossocial de crianças. Método: Revisão integrativa realizada nas bases MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF, IndexPsi, SciELO e Scopus, incluindo estudos empíricos publicados entre 2019 e 2024. Após critérios de elegibilidade, 40 estudos compuseram a síntese. Resultados: Os achados apontaram sedentarismo, problemas visuais e posturais, prejuízos no sono, atrasos na linguagem, dificuldades de atenção e aprendizagem, além de irritabilidade, ansiedade e menor interação social. A mediação parental mostrou-se essencial para minimizar riscos. Conclusão: O tempo excessivo de tela constitui um importante fator de risco ao desenvolvimento infantil, reforçando a necessidade de ações educativas e orientações na Atenção Primária à Saúde e no ambiente familiar.
