Humanistic Studies and Social Researches

Abstract Objective:to explore how different forms of digital use, including social media scrolling, generalized internet immersion, and habitual smartphone engagement, intersect with dietary choices, movement patterns, sleep routines, and broader mental health outcomes among varied demographic groups.

Methods:

The review synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed studies that focus on social media or internet addiction alongside research on physical activity, eating behaviors, and sleep quality, that shows how these behaviors converge.

Results:

A growing body of evidence points to excessive digital involvement as a notable contributor to disordered eating behaviors, nighttime eating episodes, orthorexic traits, and a heightened intake of sugar-sweetened or ultra-processed foods that shows the subtle ways digital patterns seep into daily habits. Physical activity frequently declines when social media addiction intensifies, although structured interventions and fitness-focused applications appear capable of buffering some negative outcomes. Sleep quality tends to erode under heavy screen exposure, social media fatigue, and gaming addiction, and this decline becomes more pronounced when poor impulse regulation or late-evening device use is present. Adolescents show striking vulnerability given their developmental stage and social pressures, though adults also encounter addiction-like symptoms including compulsive engagement and nomophobia. Cultural norms and socioeconomic conditions further shape how these factors interact.

Conclusion:

Digital engagement carries substantial influence over lifestyle behaviors and psychological well-being, which indicates urgent need for interventions that promote digital literacy, regular movement, balanced nutrition, and supportive sleep habits. These strategies must remain culturally adaptable in order to prevent harmful patterns of digital dependence and sustain holistic health across age groups.

Abstract Background: This review explores how such interventions can enhance the quality of life for children undergoing cancer treatment and support their social integration.

Materials and Methods: This review draws on a wide range of studies and clinical trials concerning family interventions for children with ASD undergoing cancer radiotherapy. The research materials include both domestic and international literature on various family-centered approaches, such as psychoeducational programs, behavioral interventions, and parent training.

Results: The review identifies several key family interventions that are effective in improving the treatment process for children with ASD undergoing cancer radiotherapy. These include structured parent training, psychoeducational support, and behavioral interventions tailored to the unique needs of children with ASD. Family interventions were found to enhance the children’s ability to cope with the stresses of cancer treatment, improve their emotional regulation, and promote better social integration. Furthermore, active family participation in the treatment process led to improved adherence to medical protocols and greater emotional well-being during radiotherapy.

Conclusion: Family intervention plays a critical role in improving the outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder undergoing cancer radiotherapy. By actively engaging families, providing appropriate support, and integrating psychoeducational and behavioral strategies, children with ASD can experience better treatment outcomes, enhanced social integration, and improved quality of life. Future research should continue to focus on refining family-based interventions and exploring innovative approaches to support children with ASD in challenging medical situations such as cancer treatment.
