ABSTRACT

The article presents preliminary findings from a family survey about children’s experiences during the COVID-19 lockdown, which was administered through the pediatric network SICuPP (Italian Society of Primary Care Pediatricians – Lombardy) in Northern Italy. The study involved 3443 parents with children aged from 1 to 5 years and from 6 to 10 years living in Lombardy region, the earliest and most severely affected by the COVID-19 emergency. All participants completed an online questionnaire and provided informed consent. Respondents generally displayed confidence and a sense of self-efficacy in relation to how they had coped with the COVID-19 emergency, despite the many difficulties encountered during the lockdown. They reported having observed some unexpected improvements and resources (e.g. parent/child and sibling relationships, adaptiveness and autonomy on the part of children). Parent-to-parent solidarity was commonly reported, although a small percentage of parents had experienced a greater sense of isolation and anxiety. Finally, the study indicated ‘key areas of vulnerability’ (concerning, for example, eating, rules, sleeping, use of technological devices, fears …) that should be monitored in future by strengthening the territorial network linking families, educational services, and health services.

儿童处于“锁定状态”:在COVID-19紧急情况期间和之后的声音,经验和资源。来自意大利伦巴第地区儿童和家庭的一项调查的见解

摘要

本文介绍了家庭调查中有关COVID-19锁定期间儿童经历的初步发现,该调查通过意大利北部的儿科网络SICuPP(意大利初级保健儿科医生协会-伦巴第)进行管理。该研究涉及3443名父母,他们的孩子年龄在1至5岁,年龄从6至10岁,居住在伦巴第地区,这是最早受COVID-19紧急情况影响最严重的地区。所有参与者均完成了在线问卷并提供了知情同意。尽管在锁定期间遇到了许多困难,但受访者通常表现出对如何应对COVID-19紧急状态的信心和自我效能感。他们报告说观察到了一些意想不到的改进和资源(例如父母/子女和兄弟姐妹的关系,儿童的适应性和自主权)。父母与父母之间的团结经常得到报道,尽管一小部分父母经历了更大的孤立感和焦虑感。最后,研究指出了“脆弱性的关键领域”(例如饮食,规则,睡眠,使用技术设备,恐惧……),应在未来通过加强将家庭,教育服务和卫生联系起来的领土网络进行监测服务。
