Abstract

This study implemented a school-based intervention aimed at improving coping flexibility, and to determine the intervention effects on coping and anxiety in children during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 692 first and second year of junior high school students (347 boys, 320 girls, and 25 neither) participated. Of the 19 classes first and second year of junior high school, 10 participated in the intervention in July 2021 and nine participated in January 2022. The results showed that the intervention program effectively reduced students’ anxiety. With regard to coping, there was no change in “seeking support,” a decrease in “problem avoidance,” and an increase in “positive interpretation and recreation.” The current intervention, which aimed at improving coping flexibility, was effective in reducing anxiety and promoting coping among junior high school students during the COVID-19 pandemic. In future it may be necessary discussed to reduce the burden on schools to accept outside experts by using information-technology equipment and other means to conduct the intervention remotely.
新冠肺炎疫情背景下初中生焦虑应对技能干预效果观察
本研究实施了以学校为基础的干预措施,旨在提高应对灵活性,并确定干预措施对新冠肺炎大流行期间儿童应对和焦虑的影响。共有692名初中一年级和二年级学生(347名男生,320名女生,25名女生均未参加)参加。在初一和初二的19个班级中,10个在2021年7月参加了干预,9个在2022年1月参加。结果表明,该干预方案有效地降低了学生的焦虑。在应对方面,“寻求支持”没有变化,“回避问题”减少,“积极解释和娱乐”增加。目前旨在提高应对灵活性的干预措施在新冠肺炎大流行期间有效地减少了初中生的焦虑,促进了他们的应对。未来可能有必要讨论通过使用信息技术设备和其他手段远程进行干预,减轻学校接受外部专家的负担。
