With the increase in screen use in the pediatric population, this research aims to assess the influence of screen use patterns and screen time on children's quality of life. This is an observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study conducted with mothers, fathers, and other guardians of preschool children (aged from 2 to 4 years old) in a city in northeastern Brazil, totaling 198 children. Data collection was performed via Google Forms and quality of life was assessed using the PedsQL 4.0 instrument. Most children use screens for over an hour a day (69.19%), more than that recommended by medical organizations. The influence of digital media use on children's quality of life was verified: worse usage patterns were related to damage to physical health (p=0.012) and emotional health (p between 0.006 and 0.046). High screen time correlated with impacts on the social dimension of the child's life (p=0.043).
