The Covid-19 pandemic is having an unprecedented impact on societies. In the interest of maintaining social distancing, schools in many countries have closed their doors and children have been confined to their homes. Thus, the objective of the present study was to holistically analyze the well-being of children during a period of full lockdown in Spain, by considering physical, emotional, social, and academic indicators. The scale "Well-being of Children in Lockdown" (WCL) was used to measure the well-being of 1225 children from 2 to 12 years old from Northern Spain. The survey was completed by the parents and was designed to analyze children's well-being in terms of physical, emotional, social and academic aspects. The results suggest that the general well-being of children during lockdown was at an intermediate level. Analysis of the various measures of well-being revealed that the lowest levels were obtained for physical activity, along with creative and playful activities. Girls, younger children, and those who have access to an outdoor space showed the greatest levels of well-being. Finally, we discuss the implications of these findings for the well-being of children and, in particular, how this can be improved amid the current Covid-19 crisis.
新冠疫情正在对社会产生前所未有的影响。为了保持社交距离，许多国家的学校都已关闭，孩子们被限制在家中。因此，本研究的目的是通过考虑身体、情感、社交和学业指标，全面分析西班牙全面封锁期间儿童的幸福状况。“封锁期间儿童幸福量表”（WCL）被用于衡量来自西班牙北部的1225名2至12岁儿童的幸福状况。该调查由家长完成，旨在从身体、情感、社交和学业方面分析儿童的幸福状况。结果表明，封锁期间儿童的总体幸福状况处于中等水平。对各种幸福指标的分析显示，身体活动以及创造性和趣味性活动的得分最低。女孩、年幼儿童以及有户外空间的儿童的幸福水平最高。最后，我们讨论了这些发现对儿童幸福的影响，特别是在当前新冠疫情危机中如何改善这种状况。
