With the exception of a few countries that chose a different approach, the worldwide reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic was a (longer or shorter) period of national lockdown. While the economic consequences of shutting down national economies were immediately evident, the sociopsychiatric implications of the social confinement of the entire population remain hidden and not fully understood. Italy has been the first European country to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, to which it responded through strict lockdown measurements. The results of a timely survey on mental and social health, carried out by students and teachers of a middle school in Rome, might help identify the most vulnerable groups of the population. This evidence could be crucial in conceiving and enacting targeted public health policies to mitigate the consequences of the pandemic on mental health and to prevent intolerance to containment measures in some population segments, which could hamper worldwide efforts in the fight against COVID-19.
除了少数选择不同方法的国家外,全球对 COVID-19 大流行的反应是(长或短)一段时间的全国封锁。尽管关闭国民经济的经济后果立即显现,但整个人口社会隔离的社会精神病学影响仍然隐藏且尚未完全理解。意大利是第一个受到 COVID-19 大流行严重影响的欧洲国家,它通过严格的封锁措施做出了回应。罗马一所中学的学生和教师及时进行的一项关于精神和社会健康的调查结果可能有助于确定人口中最脆弱的群体。这一证据对于制定和实施有针对性的公共卫生政策以减轻大流行对精神健康的影响以及防止某些人群对隔离措施的不容忍至关重要,因为这可能会阻碍全球抗击 COVID-19 的努力。
