“…We created a scoring rubric for the COVID-19 Child Experience Survey (see Table 1; full rubric available in Appendix), as no rubric or psychometric data had been available for the original CASPE parent survey at the time of our study. Nonetheless, our scoring approach was similar to that of other recent studies making use of CASPE questionnaire items (34,35). Item scores were weighted more heavily depending on the severity of the event or experience, as determined via discussion and consensus from all authors.…”

Sleep and Coping in Early Childhood During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Sleep disturbances in early childhood are associated with mood and anxiety disorders. Children also exhibit sleep disruptions, such as nighttime awakenings, nightmares, and difficulties falling asleep, in conjunction with adverse events and stress. Prior studies have examined independently the role of sleep on adaptive processing, as well as the effects of stress on sleep. However, how childhood sleep and children's adaptive behavior (i.e., coping strategies) bidirectionally interact is currently less known. Using a within-subjects design and actigraphy-measured sleep from 16 preschool-aged children (Mage = 56.4 months, SD = 10.8, range: 36–70 months), this study investigated how prior sleep patterns relate to children's coping during a potentially stressful event, the COVID-19 pandemic, and how prior coping skills may influence children's sleep during the pandemic. Children who woke earlier had greater negative expression both before and during the pandemic. During the pandemic, children slept longer and woke later on average compared to before the pandemic. Additionally, for children engaged in at-home learning, sleeping longer was associated with less negative expression. These findings highlight how sleep behaviors and coping strategies are related, and the stability of this relationship under stress.

“…Parents in the present study had CEFIS Exposure and Impact scores comparable to a community sample described by Kazak et al, 2021 . Although disparate measures (e.g., Coronavirus Health and Impact Survey; Nikolaidis et al, 2021 ; COVID-19 Adolescent Symptom and Psychological Experience Questionnaire-Parent; Clawson et al, 2021 ) make it difficult to compare parents’ cumulative COVID-19-related experiences across studies, findings consistently suggest a high level of disruption in the lives of parents and families. In the present study, greater COVID-19 impacts were linked to higher levels of work-life conflict, greater stress when engaging in parent-assisted learning with their children, more feelings of parenting role overload, and elevated reports of anxiety and depression symptoms.…”

Objective The objective of this study was to document the direct impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on parents and families in the United States. Methods Parents’ experiences during the pandemic were examined using an online survey (N = 564) collected during May and June 2020. Results Parents reported experiencing a high frequency of COVID-19-related events (e.g., job loss and health concerns) and impact on their lives. Parents’ experiences with COVID-19, as well as self-reported perceived increase in home labor, experiences with assisting children with remote schooling, and work-life conflict were all significantly associated with higher levels of parental role overload. COVID-19-related events and impact, as well as parental role overload, significantly predicted parents’ anxiety and depression, even after controlling for demographic factors. Conclusions The findings suggest the importance of providing support for parents and families through direct services and public policy changes.

“…37 Black, indigenous, people of color and non-Hispanic White parents of children with asthma were more concerned on resource losses and greater reduction in health care access when compared with non-Hispanic White parents of healthy controls. 38 In a postlockdown survey of children with asthma (ages 7 to 14) and their mothers (n = 45 dyads) compared with healthy control dyads, it was found that patients with asthma did not significantly differ from healthy peers in reporting psychological well-being (P =.18) and separation anxiety symptoms (P =.41). Children with asthma had normative functioning in a postlockdown period.…”

To summarize the current literature of the psychological impacts of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on people with allergic diseases and to identify gaps in need of future research. Data Sources: Ovid MEDLINE(R) and Embase Classics + Embase from 1947 to present (October 18, 2021) were searched using a search strategy that included the following keywords: allergic diseases, covid*, and psychological disorders. Study Selections: Primary manuscripts and abstracts using online and telephone surveys, mixed-method studies capturing patient and caregiver experiences, case studies, and published guidelines from allergic disease-specific expert groups were included. Results: People with asthma and other chronic respiratory conditions are at higher risk of negative psychological outcomes, and risk factors include asthma severity, female sex, and previous history of anxiety and depression, likely owing to the perceived risk of severe disease from COVID-19. One study identified that people with allergic rhinitis had significantly high anxiety and depression scores compared with healthy controls (both, P < .001). The psychological impacts of food allergy during COVID-19 were most strongly felt by parents and caregivers. Similarly, parents of children with asthma experienced substantial psychological burden. Conclusion: COVID-19 had a considerable psychological impact on patients with asthma. Limited data have been published on the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on patients with allergic rhinitis and food allergy. As COVID-19 research continues to evolve and the literature captures later stages of the pandemic, it is important that physicians be aware of the potential coincidence of mental illness and chronic allergic diseases and refer these patients, and their caregivers, to appropriate resources while also continuing to manage their allergic disease(s).
