Abstracts full texts double‐screened against inclusion criteria quality assessed using risk bias tool. Studies narratively synthesised, meta‐analyses performed where sufficiently similar. Results 6917 records identified, 51 included review. Only four had rating quality. highly diverse terms design, setting, timing relation pandemic, population, length follow‐up choice measure. Methodological heterogeneity limited potential conduct across studies. Whilst suggested slight deterioration some measures, overall, findings mixed, no clear pattern emerging. Conclusions Our highlight need more harmonised approach this field. Despite sometimes‐inconsistent results our studies, supports existing concerns about Covid‐19 children's services group, given even small changes can have significant provision level.

Do people use games to cope with adverse life events and crises? Research informed by self-determination theory proposes that might compensate for thwarted basic psychological needs in daily seeking out satisfy those lacking needs. To test this, we conducted a preregistered mixed-method survey study (n = 285) on people's gaming behaviours need states during early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic (May 2020). We found qualitative evidence was an often actively sought successful means replenishing particular needs, but one could 'backfire' some through appraisal process discounting as 'unreal'. Meanwhile, contrary our predictions, quantitative data showed "rich get richer, poor poorer" pattern: satisfaction positively correlated games. derive methodological considerations propose three potential explanations this contradictory pattern pursue future research.
