Psychological Impact of the Health Measures Generated by the COVID19 in Adolescents

Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Creteil50 enrolled

Overview

The lockdown of the French population is a health measure put in place in response to the pandemic linked to a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19). After a health campaign to recommend hygienic "barrier gestures" and social distancing, the decision to confine the population at the national level was decided by the executive from Monday 16 March to Monday 11 May 2020. The national confinement implies the restriction of movement to the strict necessary, outings near the home and the closure of schools and communities. These decisions have led to an unprecedented state of stress for the entire French population, the consequences of which are unknown in the short, medium or long term. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the psychological impact of the confinement on adolescents with or without chronic disease and also the difficulties and fears engendered by deconfinement .
