Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the progression of depressive and anxiety symptoms of children, especially whose parents were frontline workers in the combat of the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19), and to provide evidence for children's mental health promotion. Methods In June and December 2020, two surveys were conducted among the children in a primary school in Qiaokou District, Wuhan.The questionnaire included demographic information, student learning conditions, and depressive/anxiety symptoms. Results A total of 963 children completed both surveys.The detection rate of depressive and anxiety symptoms at follow-up was significantly higher than that at the baseline survey (depressive symptoms: OR=1.45, 95% CI=1.16-1.83;anxiety symptoms: OR=1.79, 95% CI=1.41-2.28, P < 0.01).There was no statistically significant change in depressive/anxiety symptoms among children whose parents were frontline workers compared with those whose parents were not (P>0.05).Girls, lower learning efficiency, and less interaction with teachers in class were risk factors for depressive or anxiety symptoms of children (P < 0.05). Conclusion Mental health status of children requires continuous attention.Moreover, timely psychological protection should be given to prevent the occurrence of psychological problems and the further deterioration of psychological problems.
