| Objective To explore the prevalence rate and risk factors of anxiety symptoms in children and adolescents during the outbreak of COVID-19, and to provide references for psychological support.Methods From February 13th to 14th, 2020, primary and middle school students aged 7 to 16 years old in Anhui province were assessed by electronic questionnaire and Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED). Children with SCARED score≥23 were divided into anxiety group, and those with score<23 were divided into the non-anxiety group. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression were applied to analyze risk factors of anxiety symptoms of children and adolescents.Results A total 5 392 validated questionnaires were collected, and the results suggested 1 045 (19.4%) cases in anxiety group and 4 347 (80.6%) cases in non-anxiety group. Univariate analysis showed that the detection rate of anxiety symptoms had significant differences among children and adolescents with different gender, age, grade, health status, ways of first access to the COVID-19 related information, proportions of negative information and proportions of false information (P<0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=1.423, P<0.01), elder children (OR=1.411, P<0.01), current poor physical condition (OR=1.620, P<0.01), proportion of overexposure to negative information (OR=1.240, P<0.01) and proportion of overexposure to false information (OR=1.265, P<0.01) were independent risk factors of anxiety symptoms in children and adolescents.Conclusion No significant increase is observed in the detection rate of anxiety symptoms among children and adolescents during home quarantine against the COVID-19, while female, elder children, current poor physical condition and adverse epidemic information are the risk factors of anxiety symptom among children and adolescents. |
