Abstract(s)
As crianças e os adolescentes, por se encontrarem numa crítica fase do desenvolvimento, mostram-se mais vulneráveis tanto a nível emocional como social aos efeitos da pandemia e com maior pré-disposição para o desenvolvimento de perturbações mentais.
Esta investigação propôs-se a explorar em que medida a forma como os adultos vivenciam a pandemia e o isolamento social pode ter afetado a saúde emocional das crianças a seu cargo.
Participou neste estudo um total de 170 pessoas: 85 crianças dos 6 aos 14 anos, maioritariamente do sexo feminino e 85 adultos, familiares das crianças, com idades compreendidas entre os 30 e os 54 anos e maioritariamente do sexo feminino.
Através da plataforma da Google Forms, as crianças responderam a um protocolo de avaliação composto pelo Questionário de dados sociodemográficos, a Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) e a Escala Multidimensional de Ansiedade para Crianças (MASC). Os familiares procederam à resposta do Questionário de dados sociodemográficos e do Questionário de Saúde Mental para a Pandemia da Covid-19 (CoPaQ).
Com recurso ao programa Statistics Package of Social Science (SPSS-v25), realizou-se primeiramente uma análise descritiva das variáveis sociodemográficas dos participantes e variáveis nominais dos instrumentos. O cálculo do alfa de Cronbach, foi realizado para a análise da consistência interna de cada instrumento utilizado, quer a nível total, quer a nível das suas escalas e subescalas. Para analisar a associação entre variáveis de ambos os grupos, foi calculado o coeficiente de correlação de Pearson.
Os resultados obtidos neste estudo refletem uma adequada gestão por parte dos familiares de determinadas problemáticas e/ou conflitos que possam ter advindo da pandemia da COVID-19, durante confinamento. Esta parece traduzir-se ainda em baixos níveis de sintomatologia depressiva e ansiosa nas crianças.

This investigation set out to explore to what extent the way adults lived the pandemic and social isolation situation and the emotional effect that may have had on the children at their care.

Alpha calculation of Cronbach was produce for the analysis of internal consistency for each instrument used, on a total, scales and subscales levels. To analyze the association between the variables of both groups, the Pearson correlation coefficient calculation was used. The final results of this study reflect on a proper management by the children relative’s regarding the conflicts and problematics issues, that may adverse from Covid-19 pandemic, during confinement.
