Children are one of the most vulnerable groups in crises. The psychological consequences of COVID-19 in children must be considered. This study aimed to assess the fear and anxiety of COVID-19 in primary school girls. It is a descriptive correlational study to investigate schoolgirls' fear and anxiety of covid-19 in southeastern Iran. Data were collected using the fear of coronavirus questionnaire and the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale. The mean score of fear and anxiety of corona disease was 11.49 ± 6.59 and 17.67 ± 10.87, respectively. The bivariate analysis showed a significant association between fear and anxiety of corona disease, a single child ( = .025 and = .006), and a mother's level of education ( = .01). In other words, girls who were single child had a significantly higher level of fear and anxiety than other girls and the girls whose mothers had diploma had a higher level of fear and anxiety than girls whose mothers had Ph.D. Since fear and anxiety can be affected by factors such as culture, education level, and birth rate, it is recommended that this study be performed in other communities as well.
儿童是危机中最脆弱的群体之一。必须考虑 COVID-19 对儿童的心理影响。本研究旨在评估小学生女孩对 COVID-19 的恐惧和焦虑。这是一项描述性相关性研究，旨在调查伊朗东南部女学生对 COVID-19 的恐惧和焦虑。使用冠状病毒恐惧问卷和科罗那疾病焦虑量表收集数据。对冠状病毒疾病的恐惧和焦虑的平均得分分别为 11.49±6.59 和 17.67±10.87。双变量分析显示，对冠状病毒疾病的恐惧和焦虑之间存在显著关联，独生子女（ = .025 和 = .006）和母亲的教育水平（ = .01）。换句话说，独生子女的女孩比其他女孩的恐惧和焦虑程度更高，而母亲为大专学历的女孩比母亲为博士学历的女孩的恐惧和焦虑程度更高。由于恐惧和焦虑可能受到文化、教育水平和出生率等因素的影响，建议在其他社区进行这项研究。
