Autistic characteristics and mental health symptoms in autistic youth during the first COVID-19 wave in Canada / Kailyn M. TURNER in Autism Research, 16-5 (May 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-5 (May 2023) . - p.1009-1023 Titre : Autistic characteristics and mental health symptoms in autistic youth during the first COVID-19 wave in Canada Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kailyn M.

MCMORRIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1009-1023 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Autistic youth are at heightened risk for mental health issues, and pandemic-related stressors may exacerbate this risk. This study (1) described caregiver-reported youth mental health prior to and during the pandemic; and (2) explored individual, caregiver, and environmental factors associated with changes in autistic characteristics, social-emotional symptoms, and overall mental health. 582 caregivers of autistic children (2-18 years old) completed an online survey between June and July 2020 in which they provided demographic information, their child's pre-COVID and current mental health, autistic characteristics, and social-emotional symptoms. Caregivers also rated their own perceived stress, and COVID-related household and service disruption. According to caregivers, youth experienced more autistic characteristics and social-emotional concerns during the pandemic. Autistic youth were also reported to experience poorer overall mental health during the pandemic than before the pandemic. Older youth whose caregiver's indicated higher perceived stress and greater household disruption were reported to experience more autistic traits during pandemic. Caregiver-reported increases in youth social-emotional symptoms (i.e., behavior problems, anxiety, and low mood) was associated with being older, the presence of a pre-existing mental health condition, higher caregiver stress, and greater household and service disruption. Finally, experiencing less household financial hardship prior to COVID-19, absence of a pre-existing psychiatric condition, less caregiver stress, and less service disruption were associated with better youth pandemic mental health. Strategies to support the autistic community during and following the pandemic need to be developed. The developmental-ecological factors identified in this study could help target support strategies to those autistic youth who are most vulnerable to mental health problems.

COVID-19 and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities: Examining the Impact of the First 2 Years of the Pandemic on the Demand for Pediatric Inpatient Care / Chris A. CLARK in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 54-11 (November)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 54-11 (November) . - p.4102-4110 Titre : COVID-19 and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities: Examining the Impact of the First 2 Years of the Pandemic on the Demand for Pediatric Inpatient Care Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Chris A. CLARK, Auteur ; Kailyn TURNER, Auteur ; Jennifer KUNTZ, Auteur ; Andrea PERRI, Auteur ; Avril DEEGAN, Auteur ; Brian MARRIOTT, Auteur ; Susan GRAHAM, Auteur ; Abdul RAHMAN, Auteur ; Carly A. MCMORRIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4102-4110 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The COVID-19 pandemic has strained the resources of the world?s healthcare systems. Most individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) experience significant mental health issues and face substantial barriers in accessing appropriate supports which have been exacerbated during the pandemic. It is unknown the extent to which COVID-19 impacted the demand for and effectiveness of inpatient care for those with NDDs. The impact of COVID-19 on the number of admissions of youth with NDDs to pediatric inpatient psychiatry units, as well as their functioning and length of stay during the first two years of the pandemic was analyzed using Bayesian structural time series models. Admission data of youth with NDDs from four pediatric inpatient units in Alberta, Canada (n = 2144) was examined. Inpatient admissions of youth with NDDs significantly increased following the onset of the pandemic. Compared to the period prior to the pandemic, patients with NDDs had significantly worse overall functioning and received fewer days of treatment. These findings highlight the need for increased resources to support the mental health needs of this vulnerable population and are consistent with other studies in the general population examining the utilization of inpatient psychiatric units during the pandemic.
