In the last few decades, various authors report on the increase of chronic diseases in childhood. Chronic disease includes different physical, emotional and mental difficulties. These difficulties limit children and adolescents and their families in daily functioning. Accordingly, chronic diseases in childhood represent a risk with a potential negative effect on the child's psychosocial development. Digital technology and media are used in the daily activities of both adults and youth. Screen time refers to the total time which an individual spends using the mobile digital devices such as smartphone, tablet, computer, game consoles and more. The aim of this research was to examine the habits of using digital media of children and young people with chronic diseases and to determine whether there is a connection between the habits of using digital media and involvement in other daily life activities. The participants of this study were parents of children and young people with chronic diseases (N=47). For the purposes of data collection, a survey questionnaire contained general information about the child and parents and modified Children and Technology Research Questionnaire (Taylor, 2012). The data were processed using appropriate quantitative methods. Descriptive and associative scientific-research approaches were used. The results show that children and young people with chronic diseases use more than one digital device for different purposes. Most children and adolescents use digital media for 2 or more hours a day, which exceeds the suggested recommendations for optimal digital media usage. Digital devices are part of the evening and morning routine, during meals and family gatherings. A negative correlation was found between the average duration of digital media use and the duration of sleep. Parents of children and young people with chronic diseases usually do not seek professional help in this area. It is important to research this topic in order to educate parents as well as to enable a balanced everyday life for children and young people with chronic diseases.
