The SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic has left a massive global death toll in its wake. Associated restrictions, precautions and lockdowns have disrupted daily routines, which has been associated with social isolation and major health implications for the world's youth. This paper shares young adults' visions for life beyond the pandemic as it relates to the prevention and management of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).
NCD Child hosted a global Twitter campaign for young adults, some of whom are living with NCDs, to express their reflections on life beyond the pandemic. Contributions were subjected to qualitative thematic analysis.
52 responses from the campaign described six main themes: Health system strengthening; Access to care; Issues of sustainability, including the environment and the economy; Human rights, equity, and social issues; Mental health, and NCD prevention.
Young adults expressed optimism about postpandemic life and emphasized the importance of comprehensive intersectoral approaches to create resilient health systems.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)病毒大流行已造成大量全球死亡。相关的限制措施、预防措施和封锁打乱了日常生活,这与社会隔离以及对全球青年的重大健康影响有关。本文分享了年轻人对疫情后生活的愿景,这与非传染性疾病(NCDs)的预防和管理相关。
非传染性疾病儿童组织为年轻人举办了一场全球推特活动,其中一些年轻人患有非传染性疾病,以表达他们对疫情后生活的看法。对参与者的回复进行了定性主题分析。
该活动收到的52份回复描述了六个主要主题:加强卫生系统;获得医疗服务;可持续性问题,包括环境和经济;人权、公平和社会问题;心理健康,以及非传染性疾病预防。
年轻人对疫情后生活表示乐观,并强调了采取全面跨部门方法建立有韧性的卫生系统的重要性。
