The current period of transition due to COVID-19 emergency may negatively affect the psychological functioning of children and require resources aimed at supporting post-transition adaptation. Few contributions exist which specifically focus on what to do in such circumstances in order to assist the mental health of both children and parents. It seems therefore critical to provide strategies, which support the adjustment of children during the pre-existing and post-transition periods. Furthermore, screening projects are required in order to identify those children with increased levels of emotional and behavioural issues, beyond the COVID-19 transition, in order to plan specific interventions.
由于新冠疫情紧急情况导致的当前过渡时期可能会对儿童的心理功能产生负面影响,并需要旨在支持过渡后适应的资源。很少有文献专门关注在这种情况下如何做才能帮助儿童和父母的心理健康。因此,提供在过渡前和过渡后时期支持儿童适应的策略似乎至关重要。此外,需要开展筛查项目,以识别那些在新冠疫情过渡之外存在情绪和行为问题水平升高的儿童,以便规划具体干预措施。
