Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the spread of a new type of coronavirus infection (COVID-19) on the mental state in school-age children and parents focusing on the aspects of sleep disorders and depression. A questionnaire survey was conducted for 123 parents and 108 school-age children who visited Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital at Gangdong from April 2, 2020 through April 25, 2020, via the direct writing method. Participants were assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)-7, Center for Epidemiology Scale for Depression. Logistic regressions were used with a level of significance of 5%. The prevalence of GAD, depression, and poor sleep in parents were 34.1%, 17.1% and 44.7%, respectively. The prevalence of GAD in children was 20.4%. Logistic regression showed that stress from Emergency Alert Messages about COVID-19 was associated with GAD and depression in parents. In children, the degree of emotional change after COVID-19 was associated with GAD. This study confirmed that there was a change in the psychological status of children and guardians due to the epidemic of coronavirus disease-2019, and it would be necessary to consider their psychological status during dental treatment.

이 연구의 목적은 코로나바이러스감염증-2019의 전파가 학령기 아동과 부모의 심리에 미친 영향을 수면장애와 우울증의 측면에서 평가하는 것이었다. 2020년 4월 2일부터 2020년 4월 25일까지 강동 경희대학교 치과병원 소아치과를 방문한 123명의 부모와 108명의 학령기 아동을 대상으로 직접 기입 방식의 설문조사를 실시하였다. 참가자들은 Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) - 7, Center for Epidemiology Scale for Depression 로 평가되었다. 로지스틱 회기 분석은 유의 수준 5%로 시행되었다. 부모의 GAD, 우울증, 낮은 수면의 질은 각각 34.1%, 17.1%, 44.7%에서 나타났다. 아동의 GAD 유병률은 20.4%였다. 로지스틱 회기분석 결과 코로나바이러스 관련 안전재난문자로 인한 스트레스가 부모의 불안장애, 우울증과 관련이 있었다. 아동의 경우, 코로나바이러스감염증 발생 이후의 감정 변화 정도가 GAD와 연관성이 있었다. 이 연구를 통해 코로나바이러스감염증-2019의 유행으로 인한 어린이와 보호자들의 심리적 상태 변화가 있음을 확인하였고, 치과진료 시 이들의 심리상태를 고려해야 하겠다.
