This review aims at reporting the current evidence of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on grief in children.
Evidence from the scientific literature shows that the severity of grief in children is impacted by numerous risk factors which can lead to prolonged grief disorder (PGD). Among these risk factors are the unpredictability of the death, the lack of understanding about what is happening by the child, the global insecurity raised by the context of the pandemic or again the impossibility for the child to find comfort with his peers due to the lock-down. No medical-based approach has proven efficient on PGD in children. However, cognitive based therapy can lower the severity of the symptoms. Future efforts should focus on developing therapeutic strategies to specifically fit the needs of children with PGD, in the context of a major crisis such as this pandemic.
本综述旨在报告当前关于新冠疫情对儿童悲伤情绪影响的证据。
科学文献中的证据表明，儿童悲伤情绪的严重程度受到多种风险因素的影响，这些因素可能导致持续性悲伤障碍（PGD）。这些风险因素包括死亡的不可预测性、儿童对所发生事情的不理解、疫情背景引发的全球不安全感，或者由于封锁导致儿童无法从同龄人那里获得安慰。没有基于医学的方法被证明对儿童的PGD有效。然而，基于认知的疗法可以降低症状的严重程度。未来的努力应集中在开发治疗策略，以在像这次疫情这样的重大危机背景下，特别满足患有PGD儿童的需求。
