背景：新型冠状病毒大流行（COVID-19）导致的社交距离和停课可能对儿童的行为和福祉产生负面影响。对儿童来说，有问题的智能手机使用（PSU）、有问题的社交媒体使用（PSMU）和感知到的体重耻辱（PWS）是特别重要的问题，但我们对COVID-19导致的封锁和身体隔离如何影响这些问题知之甚少。这项研究旨在了解这些社会心理和行为变量如何与心理困扰相关，以及这些关联在COVID-19大流行期间如何发生变化。方法：2020年1月至2020年6月，共有489名儿童完成了三波纵向研究。第一波是在COVID-19爆发之前进行的。第二波是在疫情爆发期间进行的。第三波是在covid -19后封锁期间进行的。问卷测量了心理困扰、PSU、PSMU和PWS。结果：PSU、PSMU、PWS与心理困扰均有显著相关。爆发期间PSU显著升高。PWS在疫情爆发前明显较高。我们发现，在所有三种模型中，PSMU和PWS之间的关联在三个波中都有所增加。PSU与抑郁/焦虑之间的关联在三个波中减弱；然而，PSMU和抑郁/焦虑之间的关联在三个波中增加。结论：COVID-19引发的停课和相关的封锁似乎加剧了儿童的PSU和抑郁症。然而，PWS在此期间有所减少。儿童应该安全谨慎地使用智能手机和社交媒体，并意识到体重歧视的潜在风险。
Background: Social distancing and school suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) may have a negative impact on children's behavior and well-being. Problematic smartphone use (PSU), problematic social media use (PSMU) and perceived weight stigma (PWS) are particularly important issues for children, yet we have a poor understanding of how these may have been affected by lockdowns and physical isolation resulting from COVID-19. This research aimed to understand how these psychosocial and behavioral variables may be associated with psychological distress, and how these associations may have changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A total of 489 children completed a three-wave longitudinal study from January 2020 to June 2020. The first wave was conducted before the COVID-19 outbreak. The second wave was conducted during the outbreak. The third wave was conducted during post-COVID-19 lockdown. Questionnaires measured psychological distress, PSU, PSMU, and PWS. Results: PSU, PSMU, PWS and psychological distress were all significantly associated with each other. PSU was significantly higher during outbreak. PWS was significantly higher before outbreak. We found an increased association between PSMU and PWS across three waves in all three models. The association between PSU and depression/anxiety decreased across three waves; however, association between PSMU and depression/anxiety increased across three waves. Conclusions: COVID-19 initiated school suspension and associated lockdowns appear to have exacerbated PSU and depression among children. However, PWS was reduced during this period. Children should use smartphones and social media safely and cautiously, and be aware of the potential exposure to weight stigmatization.
