由于包括社会和经济不稳定在内的多种风险因素，围产期的年轻父母(16-24岁)心理健康不良的风险增加，特别是在新冠肺炎大流行期间。新冠肺炎相关限制对年轻父母提供围产期护理服务和其他支持结构产生了深远影响。调查年轻父母在大流行期间的经历，包括他们所感受到的挑战和需求，对于宣传良好做法和为年轻父母提供适当支持非常重要。定性访谈是在2021年2月至5月英国新冠肺炎大流行期间对年轻父母(n = 21)进行的。采用专题分析方法对数据进行分析。确定了三个关键主题来描述父母在新冠肺炎大流行期间的经历。家长们报告了具体的与新冠肺炎相关的焦虑和压力源，包括对感染病毒的担忧，以及由于疫情的影响带来的不确定性而增加的忧虑感。父母描述了在家里和产前预约期间的孤独感，并强调缺乏社会支持是一个主要令人担忧的领域。父母们也觉得他们的围产期护理受到了大流行的干扰，在网上或电话上获得护理时遇到了困难。这项研究强调了新冠肺炎疫情对年轻父母的潜在影响，包括他们的心理健康和他们能够获得的围产期支持。这项研究的见解可以为未来为家庭提供的支持和服务提供参考。具体地说，研究结果强调了(A)在围产期预约期间支持父母双方的重要性，(B)在早期为父母提供心理健康支持，以及(C)寻找促进专业人员和父母之间沟通的途径。
Young parents (aged 16–24 years) in the perinatal period are at an increased risk of poor mental health especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to multiple risk factors including social and economic instability. COVID-19 related restrictions had profound implications for the delivery of perinatal care services and other support structures for young parents. Investigating young parents’ experiences during the pandemic, including their perceived challenges and needs, is important to inform good practice and provide appropriate support for young parents. Qualitative interviews were conducted with young parents (n = 21) during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom from February – May 2021. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Three key themes were identified to describe parents’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents reported specific COVID-19 related anxieties and stressors, including worries around contracting the virus and increased feelings of distress due to uncertainty created by the implications of the pandemic. Parents described feeling alone both at home and during antenatal appointments and highlighted the absence of social support as a major area of concern. Parents also felt their perinatal care had been disrupted by the pandemic and experienced difficulties accessing care online or over the phone. This study highlights the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young parents, including their mental wellbeing and the perinatal support they were able to access. Insights from this study can inform the support and services offered to families going forward. Specifically, the findings emphasise the importance of (a) supporting both parents during perinatal appointments, (b) providing parents with mental health support early on and (c) finding ways to facilitate communication pathways between professionals and parents.
