Anxiety causes the long-term psychological impacts on children during the pandemic.
The aim of this study is to reduce anxiety in paediatric patients and increase their adherence to treatment through a video-based COVID-19 paediatric patient education.
This quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest single group was carried out in a research hospital's COVID-19 Paediatric Emergency Area in Turkey between May and August 2020. The sample consisted of 128 children aged between 4 and 12 years.
In the study, it was found that 50.8% of the children who came to the COVID- 19 Paediatric Emergency Area due to suspicion of COVID-19 were boys and their mean age was 8.54 ± 2.62. 21.1% of the children were hospitalised before and 73.4% were afraid of the hospital. State stress scores of the participants before the patient education were higher in those, who didn't attend school between ages of 4-10, than those who went to school. State stress mean scores of the children from all age groups decreased significantly after the education.
The video-based paediatric patient education decreases the children's hospital-related anxiety during the pandemic and increased their adherence to treatment.
焦虑会对儿童在大流行期间造成长期的心理影响。
本研究旨在通过基于视频的 COVID-19 儿科患者教育，减轻儿科患者的焦虑并提高他们的治疗依从性。
这是一项在土耳其一家研究医院的 COVID-19 儿科急诊区进行的准实验性研究，采用前后测单组设计，于 2020 年 5 月至 8 月进行。样本包括 128 名 4 至 12 岁的儿童。
研究发现，因疑似 COVID-19 而到 COVID-19 儿科急诊区的儿童中，有 50.8%是男孩，平均年龄为 8.54±2.62。21.1%的儿童在入组前住院，73.4%的儿童害怕医院。在教育前，未在 4-10 岁期间上学的儿童的状态应激评分高于上学的儿童。所有年龄组的儿童在教育后状态应激的平均得分均显著降低。
基于视频的儿科患者教育可减轻大流行期间儿童的医院相关焦虑，并提高他们的治疗依从性。
