The COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying infection control measures introduced sudden and significant disruptions to the lives of children and adolescents around the world. Given the potential for negative impacts on the mental health of youths as a result of these changes, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disturbances in children and adolescents during the pandemic. We searched major literature databases for relevant cross-sectional or longitudinal studies that included primary and secondary school students or children and adolescents ≤18 years of age. Prevalence values were extracted, logit-transformed, and pooled. Based on 191 included studies with 1,389,447 children and adolescents, we found the pooled prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disturbances to be 31%, 31%, and 42%, respectively. Age, grade levels, education levels, gender, geographical regions, and electronics use were correlated with the prevalence of mental health symptoms. The prevalence of mental health symptoms also increased with time, although signs of recovery and stabilization were also observed. Overall, the results from this

“…These preventive actions, especially quarantine and physically distancing, by nature suggest the dangerousness of and fear for COVID-19 and the need to identify and withdraw from individuals infected with it. This may inadvertently taint the image and personality of such individuals even after being treated, which may further lead to stigmatisation and discrimination without proper education on COVID-19 [39][40][41]. That is, COVID-19 quarantined individuals are more likely to experience stigmatisation and discrimination, which may lead to further stress and mental health conditions [39][40][41].…”

“…Therefore, it can be deduced that adolescents may suffer in many different ways due to fake news on COVID-19, inappropriate reportage of COVID-19 issues, and the implementation of preventive measures of COVID-19 (e.g., lockdowns and quarantines). Studies on COVID-19 stigma among adolescents are inconsistent at this point [39,42,43], although it has been associated with knowledge of COVID-19 [44]. Unfortunately, these preventive measures persist as the most effective means of combating the spread of COVID-19 even after vaccinating against the virus.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to ravage world economies, and with its recent mutations, countries worldwide are finding ways of ramping up their vaccination programmes. This cross-sectional design study, therefore, examined the predictors of COVID-19 stress and COVID-19 vaccination acceptance among adolescents in Ghana. A total of 817 participants were conveniently selected to respond to measures on fear of COVID-19, perceived stigma from COVID-19, self-stigma from COVID-19, believing COVID-19 information, COVID-19 infection prevention behaviours, COVID-19 stress, and COVID-19 vaccination acceptance. It was found that females believed COVID-19 information and accepted COVID-19 vaccination more than males did. Moreover, there were significant relationships between the majority of the COVID-19-related variables. Furthermore, fear of COVID-19, self-stigma from COVID-19, and COVID-19 infection prevention behaviours were found to be significant predictors of COVID-19 stress. Additionally, believing COVID-19 information, danger and contamination fears (a subscale of COVID-19 stress), and traumatic stress (a subscale of COVID-19 stress) were significant predictors of COVID-19 vaccination acceptance. These findings imply that different factors influence different COVID-19 variable. Therefore, careful considerations and research should be employed by health authorities and policymakers in preparing COVID-19 information to target different age groups and for different COVID-19 purposes.
