To describe adolescents' everyday activities and emotional consequences related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Qualitative study grounded in Alfred Schütz's social phenomenology, involving 22 students at two public schools in a municipality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Interviews were conducted, had their audio recorded, and were analyzed according to a thematic categorization.
Five categories emerged from the accounts: i) adolescents' reaction before the COVID-19 pandemic; ii) emotional consequences; iii) concern about the family; iv) adolescents' adaptation; and v) fragmentation of social support networks. Feelings such as uncertainty, fear, anguish, anxiety, and lack of motivation, depressive symptoms, and extreme suicidal ideation were reported.
Paying attention to adolescents' psychosocial needs is essential, especially in face of the possibility of post-traumatic stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Health professionals' technical competence combined with sensibility, strengthening of social support networks, and engagement of different community sectors are fundamental for promoting adolescent mental health in the current transition and resignification period following the COVID-19 pandemic.
描述青少年与 COVID-19 大流行相关的日常活动和情绪后果。
扎根于阿尔弗雷德·舒茨的社会现象学的定性研究,涉及巴西圣保罗州一个市的两所公立学校的 22 名学生。进行了访谈,录制了音频,并根据主题分类进行了分析。
从这些描述中出现了五个类别:i)青少年在 COVID-19 大流行之前的反应;ii)情绪后果;iii)对家庭的关注;iv)青少年的适应;和 v)社会支持网络的碎片化。报告了诸如不确定性、恐惧、痛苦、焦虑和缺乏动力、抑郁症状和极端自杀意念等感觉。
关注青少年的心理社会需求至关重要,特别是在 COVID-19 大流行可能导致创伤后应激的情况下。卫生专业人员的技术能力与敏感性相结合,加强社会支持网络,并吸引不同社区部门,对于促进青少年在 COVID-19 大流行后的当前过渡和重新意义时期的心理健康至关重要。
