The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological symptoms and behavioral problems of children with mothers working as medical staff in the crisis of Covid-19 disease in Hamadan.
This descriptive causal-comparative study was conducted on all mothers with children aged 6 to 12 years in Hamadan from September 2 to November 29, 2020. In this study, eligible individuals were selected using random sampling and were assigned to two groups of mothers working as the medical staff and the control group. The research instruments included the Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach) and the Child Symptom Inventory-4 (CSI-4).
The results showed that the mean scores of psychological and behavioral symptoms of children in terms of group membership (group of mothers working in the medical staff and control group) had a significant difference. There was a significant difference between the mean scores of depression and aggression in children of the staff group and the control group meaning that for depression and aggression scores of children of the staff group are higher than children of the control group ( < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the mean anxiety scores and there was almost a significant difference between the attention scores of the staff group and the control group ( < 0.05).
Children whose mothers worked as medical staff during Covid-19 show more depression, attention, and aggression problems than children whose mothers do not work as medical staff.
本研究旨在调查哈马丹市在新冠疫情危机期间母亲为医护人员的儿童的心理症状和行为问题。
本描述性因果比较研究于2020年9月2日至11月29日对哈马丹市所有有6至12岁孩子的母亲进行。在本研究中，符合条件的个体通过随机抽样选取，并被分为两组，一组是母亲为医护人员的组，另一组是对照组。研究工具包括儿童行为检查表（阿肯巴克）和儿童症状量表-4（CSI-4）。
结果显示，就分组情况（母亲为医护人员的组和对照组）而言，儿童心理和行为症状的平均得分存在显著差异。医护人员组儿童与对照组儿童在抑郁和攻击行为平均得分上存在显著差异，这意味着医护人员组儿童的抑郁和攻击行为得分高于对照组儿童（<0.05）。焦虑平均得分之间无显著差异，医护人员组与对照组在注意力得分上几乎存在显著差异（<0.05）。
在新冠疫情期间母亲为医护人员的儿童比母亲不是医护人员的儿童表现出更多的抑郁、注意力和攻击行为问题。
