Abstract

To assess COVID-19-pandemic related anxiety and emotional-behavioral difficulties among oncologic children and their caregivers.

Prospective cohort study conducted from March to November 2020.

76 pediatric oncological and 28 nonmalignant hematological patients aged 1.6-23.4 years and their caregivers.

A total of 104 families completed an age-specific self-report psychological assessment; of these, 20 oncologic families completed the assessment at two time points.

Ten percent of the caregivers and 13.9% of the patients reported anxiety disorder. Additionally, 3.1% of the caregivers reported behavioral difficulties. No significant differences emerged between patients' self-reports and caregivers' reports. No differences emerged between oncological and nonmalignant hematological participants.

The prevalence of anxiety associated with the COVID-19 pandemic was similar to the reported prevalence of anxiety following a diagnosis of pediatric malignancy.

Real-time assessment of psychological effects revealed no COVID-19-associated anxiety. Nonetheless, late effects will need to be monitored.

COVID-19大流行期间儿科肿瘤患者及其护理人员焦虑的前瞻性评估:一项队列研究

评估肿瘤儿童及其照顾者与covid -19大流行相关的焦虑和情绪行为困难。前瞻性队列研究于2020年3月至11月进行，76例1.6-23.4岁的儿童肿瘤患者和28例非恶性血液病患者及其护理人员。共有104个家庭完成了特定年龄的自我报告心理评估;其中，20个肿瘤家庭在两个时间点完成了评估。10%的护理人员和13.9%的患者报告有焦虑症。此外，3.1%的照顾者报告了行为困难。患者自我报告与护理人员报告之间无显著差异。肿瘤和非恶性血液学参与者之间没有差异。与COVID-19大流行相关的焦虑患病率与报告的儿科恶性肿瘤诊断后的焦虑患病率相似。对心理影响的实时评估显示，没有与covid -19相关的焦虑。尽管如此，后期影响仍需加以监测。
