Spain has been one of the countries most affected by the health crisis derived from COVID-19. Within this country, the city of Madrid has registered the highest number of infections and deaths. This circumstance led to the adoption of strict confinement measures for a period of 6 weeks. The objective of the present study was to investigate the psychological effects that this confinement has had on the psychological well-being of a sample of children from Madrid. A total of 167 families with children aged between 3 and 11 years participated in this study. The parents evaluated the children through the System of Evaluation of Children and Adolescents (SENA) scale in the month of February and refilled part of the same scale after the children had spent between 4 and 6 weeks confined. The comparison between the two measures showed no change among the 3-year-old children. However, change was observed among the 6-10-year-old. Children in Primary Education obtained lower scores in dimensions related to self-regulation (emotional, attentional, and behavioral) and in willingness to study. The results are discussed in light of the situation experienced between the months of March and May 2020.
西班牙一直是受新冠疫情引发的健康危机影响最严重的国家之一。在该国,马德里市的感染和死亡人数最多。这种情况导致采取了为期6周的严格封锁措施。本研究的目的是调查这种封锁对马德里市一组儿童心理健康产生的心理影响。共有167个有3至11岁孩子的家庭参与了这项研究。家长们在2月份通过儿童和青少年评估系统(SENA)量表对孩子进行了评估,并在孩子被封锁4至6周后再次填写了部分相同的量表。两项测量结果的比较显示,3岁的孩子没有变化。然而,6至10岁的孩子出现了变化。小学阶段的孩子在与自我调节(情绪、注意力和行为)相关的维度以及学习意愿方面得分较低。根据2020年3月至5月期间的情况对结果进行了讨论。
