“…This last study has also linked fear of social distancing and pollution to emotional problems. Access to an outdoor space during confinement has been shown to be a protective factor against anxiety in one of the studies (Francisco et al, 2020), whereas in another it has been related to more emotional problems (Berasategi et al, 2021). Likewise, a decrease in routines as a result of the pandemic has been associated with emotional problems (Andrés- Romero et al, 2021;Romero et al, 2020) and emotion-regulation problems (Domínguez-Álvarez, López -Romero, Isdahl-Troye, et al, 2020).…”

“…Six of them concluded that girls were more emotionally affected than boys. Specifically, one of them found that girls had more emotional problems (Berasategi et al, 2021). In two studies, it was reported that girls scored higher in anxiety (Carrillo-López et al, 2021;Carrillo-López & García-Prieto, 2020).…”

“…Twelve studies found a relationship between emotional problems and changes caused by the outbreak of the pandemic and confinement. Nine of these studies concluded that emotional problems increased during the lockdown (Andrés- Romero et al, 2021;Berasategi et al, 2021;Erades & Morales, 2020;Gómez-Becerra et al, 2020;Lavigne-Cerván et al, 2021;Liébana-Presa et al, 2020;Pizarro-Ruiz & Ordóñez-Camblor, 2021;Romero et al, 2020). Thus, two studies found that emotional problems decreased as confinement ended (Ezpeleta et al, 2020;.…”

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the population has been exposed to a high level of stress. The alarm state decreed in Spain in March 2020 limited movement and suspended various activities such as school attendance (Real Decreto 463/2020). From that moment on, a particularly restrictive and lasting confinement began compared to other European countries, with Spanish children not being allowed to leave home until six weeks later .Confinement during the pandemic has had effects on various aspects of children's lives, such as the decrease of physical activity, an increase of sedentary behaviour, poorer sleep quality, and reduced self-regulation (Alonso-Martínez et al., 2021). The closure of schools also had negative consequences for children, owing to increased periods of loneliness and self-care (Araújo et al., 2021).Based on the study of other pandemic situations, Sprang and Silman ( 2013) indicate the increase in children's demand for mental health services, both during and after pandemics. According to these authors, the most frequent diagnoses derived from these situations were acute stress disorder, adjustment disorder, grief and, to a lesser extent, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Even so, it has been observed that children who have lived through quarantine during pandemics are more likely to develop PTSD than other children who have not, reaching the clinical score that identifies this disorder (30%).With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, several studies Clínica y Salud (2022) xx(x) xx-xx

“…Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina had a significant reduction in physical activity and a rise in the consumption of unhealthy foods; in addition, reports on child abuse and neglect decreased almost a third due to the closing of schools in Florida (Rajmil et al, 2021 ). Meanwhile, a study conducted in Spain suggests that the overall wellbeing of children was at an intermediate level during lockdown, and the lowest levels of wellbeing were obtained for physical activity, together with creative and recreational activities (Berasategi Sancho et al, 2021 ). In turn, the results of the study conducted in Australia revealed that physical distancing and social restrictions had an impact on the health and wellbeing indicators associated with chronic disease among young people (Munasinghe et al, 2020 ).…”

Characterization of Wellbeing and its Relationship with Exposure to Violence in Mexican and Chilean Early and Late Adolescents during the COVID-19 Pandemic

The current COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has generated negative psychological effects on the global population. In this context, one of the most vulnerable groups is adolescents, who have faced a range of challenging scenarios. The consequences of this pandemic for the wellbeing of adolescents need to be researched across countries. From this perspective, this study aims to characterize the wellbeing of adolescents from Mexico and Chile during the pandemic and delve into the relationship between victimization and the hedonic and eudaimonic types of wellbeing. Data from adolescent students (n = 3,275) were used, with the support of the Global Research Alliance. Descriptive and regression analyses were conducted and their results indicated that: 1) Late adolescents scored lower on flourishing, and males scored higher than females. There was also a higher prevalence of languishing in late adolescents from both countries, as well as high levels of languishing in non-binary adolescents, especially in Chile; 2) There was a high prevalence of poly-victimization, with the highest percentage reported by females and the late adolescent group in both countries; 3) Non-victims had a higher probability of being in the flourishing group than victims in both countries; 4) Poly-victimization especially had an effect on the eudaimonic wellbeing of early adolescents and on the hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing of late adolescents in both countries. Implications related to the mental health policies for adolescence are discussed in terms of how to increase adolescent wellbeing.

“…Also in Spain, in a recent review by Amorós-Reche et al (2022) , it was concluded that mental health problems increased overall during confinement; Berasategi et al (2021) compiled information, after 3–4 weeks of confinement, from 1,046 Spanish parents with children between 2 and 14 years old, finding that 74.66% were more angry than usual, 55.54% cried more, 70.17% were more nervous, and 35.95% suffered more nightmares.…”

Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence During Confinement: Characteristics by Age and Sex

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions imposed to stop its advance have affected the entire population. Children living with difficulties or in vulnerable situations prior to the pandemic might have suffered an even greater impact. This present study examines the psychological impact of quarantine on children and adolescents exposed to intimate partner violence against their mothers. Participants were 185 mothers who reported 269 children, as well as 108 children who self-reported. An emotional and behavioral checklist was administered to both mothers and children throughout confinement. Results show mothers observed changes in their children’s psychological state. Children, in turn, reported an increase in different variables. Mothers reported a higher percentage of overall increase for both general and severe symptoms than their children. Differences were found by sex and age. Future research with similar population groups is necessary to establish the support and intervention children require in similar contexts, as well as to clarify possible causes of differences found by age and sex.
