“…In our study, despite having a relatively low-risk sample in terms of family income and maternal education level, those with lower education (and lower income) were observed to have higher levels of distress in pregnancy. This is in line with prior research demonstrating the unequal negative impact of the pandemic on low SES individuals and families (Baena-Díez et al, 2020;Reimer et al, 2021;Spinelli et al, 2021) and racial minorities (Park, 2021;Perrigo et al, 2022). In fact, SES is shown to impact parenting attitudes and activities associated with cognitive development in infants and toddlers (Hendry et al, 2022) as well as older children (Stienwandt et al, 2022) during the pandemic.…”

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has particularly burdened pregnant and postpartum women. It remains unclear how distress levels of pregnant and postpartum people have changed (or persisted) as the pandemic continues on and which factors may contribute to these trajectories of distress.MethodsThis longitudinal study included 304 pregnant people, who were followed during pregnancy, 6-weeks, 6-months and 15-months postpartum. At each time point, a latent “distress” factor was estimated using self-reported depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and stress. Reported negative impact of COVID-19 and social support were assessed during pregnancy as risk and protective factors related to distress. Second-order latent growth curve modeling with a piecewise growth function was used to estimate initial levels and changes in distress over time.ResultsMean distress was relatively stable from the pregnancy to 6-weeks postpartum and then declined from 6-weeks to 15-months postpartum. Higher education, greater social support, and lower negative impact of COVID-19 were associated with a lower distress during pregnancy. Unexpectedly, negative impact of COVID-19 was associated with a faster decrease in distress and more social support was associated with a greater increase in distress from pregnancy to 6-weeks postpartum. However, these effects became non-significant after controlling for distress during pregnancy.ConclusionFindings indicate high but declining levels of distress from pregnancy to the postpartum period. Changes in distress are related to social support and the negative impact of the pandemic in pregnancy. Findings highlight the continued impact of COVID-19 on perinatal mental health and the need for support to limit the burden of this pandemic on pregnant people and families.

“…This study has investigated that with the lock-down imposed in Indonesia and the West Nias area in particular, there have been changes in eating habits and changes in body weight in the population of 6-month-old children and the elderly. high, low level of parental education (Perrigo et al, 2022). These results are similar with research (Zemrani et al, 2021) Pandemi COVID-19 most have deteriorated health and caused great upheavals around the world.…”

Monitoring the nutritional status of children at the West Nias Health Office is carried out twice a year in February and August. Monitoring was carried out to determine the nutritional status of children in every region in West Nias Regency and to find out some descriptions of the prevalence of children's nutritional status with several indicators. Indicators that can be used to determine the nutritional status of children in the area can be seen from indicators of children's weight according to age (W/A), indicators according to height for age (TB/U), and indicators of weight according to height (BB/TB). According to the local Health Office, the highest prevalence of malnutrition is in West Nias Regency, reaching 9.89%. From the data above, it has been shown that before the COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in the world and in Indonesia itself, nutritional problems that occurred in children were still high, especially coupled with the occurrence of cases of the spread of COVID-19 that had occurred in various countries around the world. The impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will be malnutrition due to various reasons, including: (1) poor diet due to declining finances, (2) non-standard nutrition, low level of hygiene, low access to health, and high spread of disease. This research is a research method approach Crossectional. The research sample is 67 people.

“…First, the diversity of our sample was limited in terms of socioeconomic status and race/ethnicity, with the large majority of the sample consisting of middle to high income families (78.3%), college educated (or higher) parents (81.5%), and White adolescents (89.6%), preventing us from examining potential difference or interactions based on these factors. Importantly, the COVID‐19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted low‐income families and racial/ethnic minorities (Millett et al, 2020; Perrigo et al, 2022; Tai et al, 2021). Adolescents of color are at greater risk of developing anxiety symptoms following negative live events (e.g., Lewis et al, 2012) and also display differing affect trajectories following SMU (Nereim et al, 2022).…”

IntroductionAdolescence is a sensitive period during which stressors and social disruptions uniquely contribute to anxiety symptoms. Adolescent's coping strategies (i.e., avoidance and approach) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic may be differentially related to anxiety symptom changes. Further, social media use (SMU) is ubiquitous and may serve as an avenue to deploy avoidant and/or approach coping.MethodParticipants included 265 adolescents (ages 12–20 years; 55.8% female, 43.8% male) and one parent per adolescent. At two time points separated by ~6 months, adolescents reported on SMU and coping strategies, and parents and adolescents reported demographic information and adolescents’ anxiety symptoms. Data were collected online in the United States, from summer 2020 through spring 2021.ResultsIncreases in avoidant coping predicted increasing anxiety, particularly when approach coping decreased. Decreases in both avoidant coping and SMU coincided with decreasing anxiety. Older adolescents showed decreasing anxiety when avoidant coping declined and SMU increased.ConclusionCoping strategies and SMU predicted patterns of adolescent anxiety symptom change across 6 months during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Results highlight that coping and SMU should be contextualized within the time course of stressors.
