The outbreak of coronavirus began in China in December 2019. It became a pandemic and a public health emergency. There have been numerous reports related to post-traumatic stress disorder outbreaks in the COVID-19 crisis. After a natural disaster, children are at a higher risk for post-traumatic stress disorder. The current study is a review of the scientific literature on the effect of COVID-19 on the prevalence of symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in children. It searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases until February 02, 2022. The search strategy was based on a combination of the following keywords “child,” “COVID-19,” and “post-traumatic stress disorder.”

Frequent lockdown, social distancing and lack of social interaction among peers have disrupted socialization process of teens during COVID-19 pandemic, leading to loneliness, boredom and a sense of hopelessness. These feelings can perpetuate into the minds of the teens and create negative patterns of thinking. Hence, it is imperative to explore the level of depression among the teens during the pandemic. From December 24, 2021 to January 14, 2022, 152 participants completed Socio Demographic Profile developed by the researchers and PHQ-9 modified for adolescents by Johnson (2002).The mean age of the participant was 17.69.

This study aimed to investigate the psychosocial impact of the pandemic in pediatric patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and their families and whether congenital adrenal hyperplasia imposes an additional burden compared to other endocrine disorders. Patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (n = 38) and congenital hypothyroidism (n = 41) and their families were enrolled in the prospective longitudinal survey study. Questionnaires that were completed remotely in June 2020 and in July 2021 included Depression Anxiety Stress Scale short form, The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, and purpose-built daily routine, parent, and child COVID information scores, factors affecting drug usage, and parents’ thoughts about the pandemic. At the end of 1 year, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale short form and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children were repeated in the congenital adrenal hyperplasia group and they were questioned about the incidence and severity of coronavirus infection.

he epidemic from Wuhan started in early 2020 and within a few months metamorphosed into a pandemic.Emotional disturbance, maladaptive behaviour, defensive responses are a few psychological reactions of the pandemic.Adolescents are exposed to the greatest psychological impact on mental wellbeing due to the closure of schools, cutbacks of outdoor games and monotonous lifestyle. The study aimed to assess anxiety among young adolescents during COVID-19 pandemics. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on adolescents of age group 10-17 years. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to select the samples. Coronavirus anxiety scale (CAS) was used to assess anxiety among adolescents. Data collected was analyzed using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 23.

Long-term isolation, including lockdowns and quarantines, may have a distressing effect on anyone experiencing it. Adolescent brain architecture is very sensitive to environmental adversities, and the mental health development of adolescents may be particularly vulnerable during the pandemic era. In order to better understand the triggers for perceived adolescent stress (PSS) during the COVID-19 lockdown, the present study aimed to assess the effects of social well-being and changes in time use during the lockdown, as well as the family COVID experience of adolescents. The sample for this study comprised n = 3,440 adolescents (54.2% girls; mean age = 13.5 ± 1.6 years). Bayesian correlations between PSS, health and well-being variables were assessed. PSS was then modeled as an outcome variable in a series of nested Bayesian multilevel regression models.

This study aimed to investigate parental burnout (PB) within an Australian context during COVID-19. Little is known about how the increase in the parental burden created by COVID-19 restrictions has affected parents and whether this has resulted in increased PB. A mixed-methods approach examined PB in a sample of Australian parents (N = 403) during COVID-19. Regression analyses were conducted to identify predictors of PB, and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used to compare PB scores to scores collected prior to COVID-19. Thematic analysis was used to understand the qualitative experience of parenting during lockdowns.
