Abstract

Background: COVID-19 continues to have a global impact and has yet to converge. Behavioral restrictions in daily life are widespread, forcing changes to the behavioral patterns of people. Significant changes have also occurred in children's lives, raising concerns about mental health. The same is true for anxiety symptoms.

Research: In this paper, we described the COVID-19 pandemic effects on mental health, summarized Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) as an applicability of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for COVID-19, and summarized ICBT's current state as a response for anxiety. An overview of previous intervention studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on ICBT, showed that many studies were highly effective against anxiety symptoms. Furthermore, regarding the follow-up of ICBT's intervention effect, long-term effect maintenance was also clarified. It was likewise pointed out that ICBT may be used in the future since it is beneficial for children's anxiety symptoms in telemedicine.

Conclusions: Based on these results from previous studies, we discuss ICBT's applicability during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, future measures and prospects for children's mental health during the pandemic are discussed in this study.

背景:2019冠状病毒病继续产生全球影响，但尚未趋同。日常生活中的行为限制普遍存在，迫使人们改变行为模式。儿童的生活也发生了重大变化，引起了人们对心理健康的关注。焦虑症状也是如此。研究:本文描述了COVID-19大流行对心理健康的影响，总结了基于互联网的认知行为疗法(ICBT)作为认知行为疗法(CBT)在COVID-19中的适用性，并总结了ICBT作为焦虑反应的现状。对以往干预研究的概述，包括ICBT的随机对照试验(rct)，表明许多研究对焦虑症状非常有效。此外，关于ICBT干预效果的随访，也明确了长期效果的维持。同样有人指出，ICBT将来可能会被使用，因为它有利于远程医疗中儿童的焦虑症状。结论:基于前人的研究结果，我们讨论了ICBT在COVID-19大流行期间的适用性。此外，本研究还讨论了大流行期间儿童心理健康的未来措施和前景。
