Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic may increase the symptomatology of depression, anxiety and stress in the population. Objective: To evaluate the emotional impact on the children who come to attending the Day Hospital and their parents/caregivers. Method: The emotional impact on the children and their parents/caregivers after lockdown by COVID-19 is assessed. For this purpose, some self-applied questionnaires are used (to the parents are assessed with the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and Assessment System for Children and Adolescents (SENA), and to the minor children by means of the Assessment System for Children and Adolescents (SENA). Results: In children, the scales of isolation, anger, depression, anxiety, aggression and index of emotional problems are the ones that most often present extreme scores, as assessed by parents through the SENA. In the children’s self-reports of the SENA self-evaluated by minors, extreme scores are more frequent in depression, post-traumatic symptomatology and index of emotional problems. In the parents, the symptomatic scales of obsessions-compulsions, interpersonal sensitivity, depression and anxiety of the SCL-90, are those that most often have percentiles equal to or greater than ? 90. Higher levels of anxiety and depression have been observed in mothers. Conclusions: A greater emotional impact on mothers has been observed due to higher levels of
anxiety and depression in women in general and in the pandemic, in particular, and a longer history of psychiatric pathology in mothers. The children have presented little emotional impact, observing, in most, a decrease in academic and social stressful situations.
