英国有特殊教育需要和残疾儿童的父母（n = 241）被要求描述COVID-19对他们自己和孩子心理健康的影响。对数据进行了归纳内容分析。由于社会的迅速变化，父母和子女似乎都在经历损失、担忧以及情绪和行为的变化。一些父母报告说感到不知所措，并描述了儿童理解和意识的影响。最后，少数父母报告说，COVID-19对他们家庭的心理健康影响甚微，甚至有所改善。如何支持这些家庭在不久的将来的影响进行了讨论。
Parents of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in the UK (n = 241) were asked to describe the impact of COVID-19 on their own mental health and that of their child. An inductive content analysis of the data was undertaken. Both parents and children appear to be experiencing loss, worry and changes in mood and behaviour as a result of the rapid social changes that have occurred. Some parents reported feeling overwhelmed and described the impact of child understanding and awareness. Finally, a minority of parents reported that COVID-19 has had little impact on mental health in their family, or has even led to improvements. Implications for how to support these families in the immediate future are discussed.
