The closure of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted the education of children worldwide. This paper reviews the psychological effects of this action on children and the impact on school-based services.
Emerging epidemiologic findings have generated an intense debate about the need for, and potential benefit of, school closure in the context of COVID-19. International research reveals reactions in children that are not typically considered in the disaster literature as well as those that arise in other disasters. School closure also has curtailed the delivery of mental health services commonly offered in schools. The debate about school closure will likely persist depending on local disease conditions and school readiness. Moreover, school closure is a possibility in future epidemics and pandemics and other disasters. The benefit of school closure must be balanced against the risk to children's education and psychosocial development.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间,学校关闭中断了全球儿童的教育。本文综述了这一行动对儿童的心理影响以及对基于学校的服务的影响。
新兴的流行病学发现引发了一场激烈的争论,即需要在 COVID-19 背景下关闭学校,以及关闭学校的潜在好处。国际研究揭示了儿童的反应,这些反应在灾难文献中通常不被认为是灾难的一部分,也有在其他灾难中出现的反应。学校关闭也限制了学校中通常提供的心理健康服务的提供。学校关闭的争论可能会根据当地疾病状况和学校准备情况而持续存在。此外,在未来的传染病和大流行以及其他灾害中,学校关闭也是一种可能。关闭学校的好处必须与儿童教育和心理社会发展的风险相平衡。
