Abstract

Disaster poses a huge threat to physical health as much as mental health, and COVID-19 is not any different. Understanding that physical and social factors can all contribute to mental health disruptions explains the rising concern of the global community about the impacts of COVID-19 on mental health, especially among the vulnerable, including children and adolescents. It is imperative to explore the diverse impacts of COVID-19 on the paediatric age group, especially to better address its effect and adequately strategize for its resulting conditions. This narrative review, therefore, explores literature reports on the effect of the pandemic on the mental health of children and adolescents. As observed in the literature, COVID-19 did not only threaten the physical health of children and adolescents but also their mental health, especially in terms of anxiety, depression, sleep alteration, etc. In this paper, we have discussed interventions, such as adequate sleep, healthy lifestyles, and nutritious foods, to improve paediatric mental health even after the pandemic.

回顾 COVID-19 大流行对儿童和青少年心理健康的影响。
灾害对身体健康和心理健康同样构成巨大威胁,Covid-19 也不例外。身体和社会因素都可能导致心理健康受到破坏,因此全球社会日益关注 Covid-19 对心理健康的影响,尤其是对包括儿童和青少年在内的弱势群体的影响。当务之急是探索 Covid-19 对儿科年龄组的各种影响,尤其是为了更好地应对其影响,并针对其导致的状况制定适当的战略。因此,本叙述性综述探讨了有关该流行病对儿童和青少年心理健康影响的文献报告。从文献中可以看出,Covid-19 不仅威胁着儿童和青少年的身体健康,也威胁着他们的心理健康,尤其是在焦虑、抑郁、睡眠改变等方面。在本文中,我们讨论了一些干预措施,如充足的睡眠、健康的生活方式和营养丰富的食物,以便在大流行后仍能改善儿童的心理健康。
