Owing to the considerable mortality caused by Covid-19, different countries have made some decisions for dealing with this virus, one of which was quarantine. It was shown that a range of behavioral and emotional changes may exacerbate in children while staying more at home, and parents may then experience these positive or negative behavioral changes. The present study was conducted to examine the experiences of families with children with psychiatric disorders in a psychiatric outpatient clinic in Iran.
The phenomenological method, which is a qualitative approach, was used in this study. The population was the parents of children with psychiatric disorders referred to the pediatric psychiatric clinic of Imam Hossein Hospital. Sampling was purposeful, which continued until data saturation. Finally, the number of included participants reached 14. As well, the Colaizzi method was used for data analysis.
The results of this study included 12 secondary codes and 10 tertiary codes, which were divided into three main thematic groups as follows: effective factors for improving behavior, effective factors for worsening behavior, and affective factors on creating a new behavior during quarantine.
In conclusion, quarantine, social restrictions, closure of schools, and online classes can affect the mental health status of children and adolescents in different ways, especially in children with a history of psychiatric disorders.
由于新冠疫情导致了相当高的死亡率,不同国家针对这种病毒做出了一些决策,其中之一就是隔离。研究表明,儿童居家时间增多时,一系列行为和情绪变化可能会加剧,父母可能会经历这些积极或消极的行为变化。本研究旨在调查伊朗一家精神科门诊中患有精神疾病儿童的家庭的经历。
本研究采用现象学方法,这是一种定性研究方法。研究对象是转至伊玛目侯赛因医院儿科精神科诊所的患有精神疾病儿童的父母。采用目的抽样法,持续抽样直至数据饱和。最终,纳入的参与者数量达到14名。此外,采用科拉齐方法进行数据分析。
本研究结果包括12个二级编码和10个三级编码,这些编码分为以下三个主要主题组:改善行为的影响因素、行为恶化的影响因素以及隔离期间产生新行为的情感因素。
总之,隔离、社会限制、学校关闭和在线课程会以不同方式影响儿童和青少年的心理健康状况,尤其是有精神疾病史的儿童。
