Effect of excessive screen time during covid 19 mental health of boys and girls of class 8th

Abstract

Concerns about school cancellations due to pandemics are especially pertinent for younger students. Our goal is to compile existing information on how the worldwide closure of schools due to the 2019 coronavirus illness (COVID-19) pandemic affected the health of children and young people. We searched PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar for studies published between January 2020 and September 2020 and performed a fast systematic review. There were 10 key studies that we included. The incidence of hospitalizations and pediatric ER visits dropped dramatically when schools were closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Some kids and teens were cut off from nutrition programs, specific assistance for kids with impairments, and school-based healthcare. Those from low-income households and those with disabilities were also more likely to say that they lacked the resources necessary to fully participate in distance education. Children and adolescents experienced elevated levels of stress, unhappiness, frustration, indiscipline, and hyperactivity, as well as social isolation as a result of the school shutdown. The expected rise in Body Mass Index and the incidence of children obesity was greater the longer the period of school closure and the lack of daily physical activity. During times when schools are closed, it is especially important to identify and help kids who are at risk for cognitive and emotional difficulties.
