Abstract: (988 Views)
Background and Objectives: The outbreak of coronavirus has negative physical and psychological consequences on children and increases their stress and anxiety.
Materials and Methods: The findings of the present study were reviewed from 2019 until July 2021 in PubMed, Scopus, Science direct, Google Scholar databases by searching for the keywords Covid-19, Anxiety and Children. Finally, based on the inclusion criteria, out of 98 articles reviewed, 7 articles were entered into the research and the classification results were summarized and reported.
Results: Evaluation of the articles showed that increased anxiety and fear, increased behavioral and emotional problems, experience of misbehavior and emotional harassment, increased anxiety and stress after harm are among the negative consequences on children's mental health during the outbreak of coronavirus.
Conclusions: Considering the negative consequences on children's mental health, it seems necessary to conduct intervention studies to improve and reduce stress and anxiety in children during the outbreak of Covid-19 disease.
