SARS-CoV-2 infection may impair behavior and mental health; we explored the psychological impact on parents and children who experienced COVID-19 within their families. A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted on families attending the COVID-19 Follow-up Clinic at the Department for Women’s and Children’s Health, Padua (Italy). From April 2020 to August 2021, 75 surveys were collected from 66 families (97 parents and 129 children); almost 70% of participants had COVID-19, mostly asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic, and the median time from infection to survey compilation was 164.7 days (SD 56). Most parents (>87%) reported positive relationships with family members either before, during, or after COVID-19. More than one-third of children and adolescents were unable to adapt to isolation. Among 31 pre-school children with a median age of 3 (SD 1.7), a change of one or more functions was reported for 74.2% of cases irrespective of COVID-19 status, particularly a change in circadian rhythm (25%), in relationship with parents (42.8%), and poor emotional control (36%). Among 74 children with a median age of 10.9 years (SD 2.7), 8.1% had a score indicating a disease; however, significant impairment in attention was reported for 16.7%, along with anxiety/depression and problems with conduct in 5.6% and 6.5% of cases, respectively.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）感染可能损害行为和心理健康；我们探讨了家庭中经历过2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的父母和子女所受到的心理影响。对在意大利帕多瓦妇女和儿童健康部COVID-19随访诊所就诊的家庭进行了一项基于网络的横断面调查。从2020年4月到2021年8月，从66个家庭（97名父母和129名儿童）收集了75份调查问卷；近70%的参与者感染过COVID-19，大多为无症状/轻症，从感染到完成调查问卷的中位时间为164.7天（标准差56）。大多数父母（>87%）报告在COVID-19之前、期间或之后与家庭成员关系良好。超过三分之一的儿童和青少年无法适应隔离。在31名中位年龄为3岁（标准差1.7）的学龄前儿童中，74.2%的病例报告了一种或多种功能的变化，无论其COVID-19感染状况如何，特别是昼夜节律变化（25%）、与父母关系变化（42.8%）和情绪控制差（36%）。在74名中位年龄为10.9岁（标准差2.7）的儿童中，8.1%的儿童得分表明患有疾病；然而，分别有16.7%的儿童报告注意力有显著损害，5.6%和6.5%的儿童报告有焦虑/抑郁和行为问题。
