I am working on the Psychological impact of COVID 19 on children of health care workers. i need references and guidelines for research on this topic.
Children are likely to be experiencing worry, anxiety and fear, and this can include the types of fears that are very similar to those experienced by adults, such as a fear of dying, a fear of their relatives dying, or a fear of what it means to receive medical treatment.
If schools have closed as part of necessary measures, then children may no longer have that sense of structure and stimulation that is provided by that environment, and now they have less opportunity to be with their friends and get that social support that is essential for good mental well-being.
Your research can reference the impact of occupational health hazard on children. This may be broad enough to answer your question.
During COVID-19 lockdown, children are suffering a lot. They are not involved with education or other extra curricular activities outside from home. Moreover, they are spending their time with internet, mobile, tab etc. By getting involved in this devices their psychological attitude and behaviors have been observed like angry, unwillingness to eat in right time, excited, worried, panic etc.
Hi Saima Batool, here are some links to papers that might help you. But these will guide you about the general impact of COVID19 in children. But when you are specifically asking about the children of healthcare workers I think you may want to do a survey among the healthcare professionals with children at their home to identify specific problems and focus on them. Sometimes children can't express so it's better to interview their parents about their child's behavioral changes. Best wishes.

I agree that just I am working this IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON HIGHER EDUCATION IN ,
Children suffer from fear, such as fear of death, and fear of the death of their relatives. This causes a depression.
After completing the academic work, they may be allowed to play Internet games.
The pandemic is difficult for adults, for children it is less effective.
If schools are closed as part of the necessary measures, children may not have this sense of the structure and stimulus that that environment provides, and they now have less chance of being with their friends and getting this social support necessary for good mental well-being.
Sleep disorders, eating disorders, general anxiety, phobias, learning disorders due to lack of schooling, secondary enuresis, excessive attachment to parental figures, reactive depression and post-traumatic stress disorders
The rates of depression, anxiety, PTSD and eating disorders in this population is increasing day by day. Students are facing changes in the academic pattern and stressing about the uncertainty of their future. COVID-19 has sparked perpetual worldwide fear, panic, anxiety, depression and distress along with concern for suicide, grief, post- traumatic stress, guilt and long term mental health disorders.
Fear of death, loneliness, unacceptance + psychological impacts of physical sufferings.
Just as a child, I am also interested to know the further updates.
