COVID-19 Salgını ve Çocuk Psikolojisi

Öz

Dünya’yı etkisi altına alan COVID-19 salgını süresince hem fizyolojik hem de psikososyal riskler, bireylerin yaşamını olumsuz yönde etkilemiştir. Ülkeler sınırlarını kapatırken salgını kontrol altına almak amacıyla evde kalma kampanyalarını düzenlemiştir. Toplu alanlar arasında bulunan okul, park, spor salonları gibi çocukların yaşamında önemli yer tutan birimlerin kapanması çocuklarda kaygı, travma, depresyon gibi psikolojik sorunların daha sık gözlenmesine; yüz yüze eğitim yerine uzaktan eğitime geçilmesi ile de hem eğitime ulaşımda sorunlara hem de uyum sağlama sürecinde sorun yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Bu süreçte çocuk ve ergen ruh sağlığı sürecinde de aksamalar olmuştur. Salgınla birlikte çevrim içi psikoterapi kullanımı da artmıştır. Psikolojik hizmetlerin çevrim içi ortama aktarılması ile yaşanan zorluklar olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ancak çocuklarla dans ve sanat terapisinin çevrim içi sürdürülmesinin etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu makalede salgın sürecinde çocukların yaşadıkları sorunlar, eğitim ve psikoterapideki değişimler tartışılmıştır.
