Abstract

Abstract The mental health effects of the coronavirus pandemic are likely to be significant and sustained, especially for those who experience adversity or preexisting mental health difficulties. This article examines the experiences of older adolescents during the United Kingdom government’s “lockdown” period (April 2020 to June 2020) on mental health, social support, sleep, and routines using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Participants were enrolled in DISCOVER, a school-based stress management program, in London (N = 107; 72 percent Black, Asian, or minority ethnicity). The Coping with COVID-19 questionnaire was developed and administered online. Changes in mental health, sleep, and routines were reported during the lockdown period as well as increased worry about family members’ physical and mental health. Positive experiences of the lockdown period included improvements in quality of relationships and increased time to spend on hobbies. Participants reported the use of cognitive–behavioral therapy techniques for coping. Results have implications for supporting older adolescents during the pandemic, including on their return to school.

冠状病毒封锁对参加校本压力管理计划的大龄青少年的影响:心理健康、睡眠、社会支持和日常生活的变化

摘要冠状病毒大流行对心理健康的影响可能是显著和持续的，尤其是对于那些经历逆境或先前存在心理健康困难的人。本文采用定量和定性方法研究了英国政府“封锁”期间（2020年4月至2020年6月）老年青少年在心理健康、社会支持、睡眠和日常生活方面的经历。参与者参加了伦敦的DISCOVER，一个以学校为基础的压力管理项目（N = 107；72%为黑人、亚裔或少数民族）。新冠肺炎应对问卷是在线制定和管理的。据报道，在封锁期间，心理健康、睡眠和日常生活发生了变化，对家庭成员身心健康的担忧也有所增加。封锁期间的积极经历包括关系质量的提高和花在爱好上的时间的增加。参与者报告了使用认知-行为治疗技术来应对。研究结果对在疫情期间支持老年青少年，包括在他们返校时提供支持具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
