Whereas extensive research has examined detrimental lockdown, little attention been devoted children's experiences during phases progressive reduction isolation. To fill this gap, we aimed test effectiveness an intervention focused on facilitating primary school return by fostering self‐efficacy in complying restrictive rules. Two hundred twenty‐one first‐ fifth‐graders filled out anxiety measures before after a story‐based paired playful activities at increasing comprehension compliance anti‐COVID‐19 The hierarchical regression analysis showed that provided confidence being able follow through story reading class activities.

Literature searches were databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, WHO Global literature on coronavirus disease Cochrane Study Register (up 30 June 2022). retrieved 9557 records which we included 13 randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) for evidence synthesis. Included studies predominantly implemented online group sessions school-aged with either psychological component, physical activity or combination both. A meta-analysis seven five depressive provided positive effect reducing (Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) (95% CI): − 0.33 (− 0.59; 0.06)) (SMD 0.26 0.36; 0.16)) compared control interventions. Studies also showed improvements mental outcomes, such as (n = 2) wellbeing 2). Exploratory subgroup analyses suggested greater effectiveness (i) are higher frequency duration, (ii) enable personal interaction (face-to-face virtually), (iii) include component. Almost all judged be at high risk bias considerable heterogeneity.

All female SMRs, except females, showed sharp increases synchronized pandemic outbreak.
