CONFAMI study: Effects of home confinement during the COVID-19 epidemic on the lives of children and their families

CONCLUSION: Our results confirm European and international data collected in children in countries where strict lockdown measures have been applied. Despite the negative emotions felt in some children, confinement has helped develop new resources in most families. Families seem to have been successful in maintaining a stable and secure routine which has certainly been a protective factor against anxiety. Some reported factors, such as bonding, could be protective factors and constitute good leads in interventions to be offered to children and their families.PMID:34916077 | PMC:PMC8491935 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2021.06.021
