2019冠状病毒病疫情令儿童及家庭承受前所未有的压力，部分原因是强制性社交距离协议扰乱日常生活。因此，本报告的目的是提高人们对COVID-19危机期间难民儿童和家庭面临的挑战性和促进性因素的认识。围绕家庭生活，养育子女和潜在的家庭冲突的问题进行了说明。此外，文化和语言因素进行了讨论，这可能会限制获得有关大流行病的信息，因此，对公共卫生建议的吸收。在整个分析过程中，我们使用了一个创伤知情的框架，从而考虑到在触发以前的创伤性应激反应中与流行病相关的破坏的潜力。此外，利用发展复原力框架，并根据家庭和儿童的固有优势，审查了制定循证方案和政策的建议。应对措施应该是：（1）多层次的，（2）创伤知情，（3）家庭为重点，（4）文化和语言敏感，（5）面向访问。目前的分析可以作为一个及时的指导，告知方案设计和政策的背景下，公共卫生，社会服务，心理健康，医疗保健，安置服务，和其他残疾人服务组织。
Children and families are undergoing unprecedented stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in part, due to the disruption of daily life arising from mandated social distancing protocols. As such, the purpose of the present report is to raise awareness surrounding resilience-challenging and resilience-promoting factors for refugee children and families during the COVID-19 crisis. Issues surrounding family life, parenting, and potential for family conflict are described. Also, cultural and linguistic factors are discussed, which may limit access to information about the pandemic and, accordingly, uptake of public health recommendations. Throughout our analysis, a trauma-informed framework is utilized, whereby potential for pandemic-related disruption in triggering previous traumatic stress is considered. Furthermore, using a developmental resilience framework and building upon the inherent strengths of families and children, suggestions for developing evidence-based programming and policy are reviewed. Responses should be: (1) multilevel, (2) trauma informed, (3) family focused, (4) culturally and linguistically sensitive, and (5) access oriented. The present analysis can serve as a timely guide for informing program design and policy in the context of public health, social services, mental health, health care, resettlement services, and other refugee-serving organizations.
