This study aimed to understand the impact of the initial COVID-19 pandemic remote schooling period on self-reported wellness among adolescents in Chicago.
Students (n = 55) completed a 22-item wellness questionnaire before (February 2020) and shortly after the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak (April 2020). Precomparisons/postcomparisons (overall and by survey item) were evaluated using two-sided paired t-tests with an alpha level of 0.05. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate mean scores overall by demographic variables.
Significant differences were found in the following areas: Balance (Pre: 7.3, During: 6.4, p = 0.02), Education (Pre: 8.4, During 7.7, p = 0.03) and Friends (Pre:8.0, During: 6.3, p = 0.001). Overall wellness scores varied by demographic variables, though not significantly.
Results suggest the onset of the pandemic impacted students' ability to effectively learn, as well as to maintain balance in their lives and social relationships. Comprehensive support is needed in these areas to promote adolescent wellness.
本研究旨在了解芝加哥青少年在 COVID-19 大流行远程学习期间自我报告的健康状况所受的影响。
在 COVID-19 爆发初期(2020 年 4 月),学生(n=55)完成了一份包含 22 个项目的健康问卷。使用双侧配对 t 检验对前后(整体和按调查项目)进行预比较/后比较,检验水准为 0.05。使用描述性统计方法评估了总体上按人口统计学变量的平均分数。
在以下方面发现了显著差异:平衡(前:7.3,中:6.4,p=0.02)、教育(前:8.4,中:7.7,p=0.03)和朋友(前:8.0,中:6.3,p=0.001)。尽管没有显著差异,但整体健康评分因人口统计学变量而异。
结果表明,大流行的开始影响了学生有效学习的能力,以及在生活和社交关系中保持平衡的能力。需要在这些领域提供全面的支持,以促进青少年的健康。
