Post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in caregivers of children tested for COVID-19 in the acute phase of the Italian outbreak

A. Orsini et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection on parents of children undergoing testing in Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic phase 1. Results showed that parents of children who tested positive were more likely to develop PTSD, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Economic damage, unemployment, and being a mother were associated with higher prevalence of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Further evidence-based research is needed to develop strategies to reduce adverse psychological impacts on caregivers of COVID-19 infected children.
