新冠疫情相关压力对青少年心理健康损害的研究进展

Research Progress of Adolescents’Mental Health Impaired by COVID-related Stress

新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情相关压力使得全球青少年焦虑、抑郁、创伤后应激障碍的患病率和严重程度增加。对国内外相关文献综述发现,青少年面临的新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情相关压力源包括对感染与患病的恐惧、日常生活方式的剧变、防控隔离与社会孤立、社会支持系统遭到破坏等。这些压力源与个体易感性因素和社会脆弱性因素交互作用,协同影响青少年的心理健康状况。未来研究可抓取疫情不同阶段青少年心理反应的纵向数据,探查诸多压力源的累积叠加效应,开展社会脆弱性群体与普通青少年间的比较性研究,为制定个性化的心理干预措施和有效的公共卫生政策提供新的思路。

COVID-related stress has increased the prevalence and severity of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder among adolescents worldwide. Literature analysis shows that the fear of infection, drastic change of daily routine,quarantine and social isolation, destruction of social support system and other COVID-related stressors interact with individual susceptibility factors and social vulnerability factors, which jointly affect adolescents’ mental health. Future studies can capture the longitudinal data of adolescents’ psychological responses at different stages of the pandemic to explore the cumulative effects of various stressors. Comparative researches between socially vulnerable groups and ordinary adolescents are proposed to provide new insights for personalized psychological intervention measures and effective public health policies.
