Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of eating disorders (ED) has increased not only in Japan but also worldwide. This online survey for pediatricians showed that caregivers tend to visit specific pediatric institutions or child psychiatry departments when children under junior high school age develop eating disorders. There are few pediatric institutions regarding treatment acceptance for children with ED. Of the 34 respondents, 16 (47.1%) answered that the number of visits for children with eating disorders had "stayed the same", one answered it had "decreased" and 17 (50.0%) answered it had "increased" or "increased very much". In addition, 28 of the 34 respondents (82.3%) experienced difficulties with psychotherapy for children with ED. For treating children with ED, pediatricians usually conducted physical examination and have some clinical burden. ED are increasing in the COVID-19 pandemic. Because children with severe ED need to be hospitalized, child and adolescent psychiatric wards are overcrowded and some children with other mental disorders can't be admitted.

COVID-19大流行期间儿科医生治疗饮食失调儿童的现状和临床负担

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，饮食失调(ED)的发病率不仅在日本，而且在世界范围内都有所增加。这项针对儿科医生的在线调查显示，当初中以下的儿童出现饮食失调时，护理人员倾向于访问特定的儿科机构或儿童精神科。有关急症儿童的治疗接受程度的儿科机构很少。在34名受访者中，16名(47.1%)回答进食障碍儿童的就诊次数“保持不变”，1名(47.1%)回答“减少”，17名(50.0%)回答“增加”或“大幅增加”。此外，34名受访儿童中有28人(82.3%)对ED儿童的心理治疗有困难。对于ED儿童的治疗，儿科医生通常会进行体检，并且有一定的临床负担。在COVID-19大流行期间，ED正在增加。由于患有严重ED的儿童需要住院治疗，儿童和青少年精神科病房人满为患，一些患有其他精神障碍的儿童无法入院。
