L’11 Marzo del 2020 l’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità (OMS) ha dichiarato lo stato di emergenza sanitaria mondiale a causa della pandemia di Covid-19: è stato uno degli eventi più drammatici degli ultimi decenni a livello globale e ha colpito non solo l’ambito sanitario, ma anche quelli economico, occupazionale, sociale ed emotivo. Dal punto di vista psicologico, la pandemia è stata un fenomeno particolarmente stressante che ha provocato un grave aumento dei casi di psicopatologia, soprattutto tra gli adolescenti. Quest’ultimi, infatti, sono stati i soggetti che più hanno risentito delle conseguenze a breve e a lungo termine della pandemia. In questo elaborato verranno approfonditi alcuni effetti negativi che il lockdown e le restrizioni hanno avuto sugli adolescenti, ma verranno considerati anche gli effetti positivi che hanno permesso ad alcuni giovani di vivere con resilienza il recente periodo storico. Infine, verrà esposta la mia personale esperienza di tirocinio facendo riferimento agli argomenti precedentemente trattati.

Abstract
On 11th March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a state of global health emergency due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This was one of the most dramatic events in recent decades globally and affected not only the health sphere, but also the economic, employment, social, and emotional ones. From the psychological standpoint, the pandemic was a particularly stressful phenomenon that caused a serious increase in cases of psychopathology, especially among adolescents. Indeed, the latters have been the most affected by the short- and long-term consequences of the pandemic. This article will explore some of the negative effects that isolation and restrictions have had on adolescents, but it will also consider the positive effects that have enabled some young people to live resiliently through the recent historical period. Finally, my personal internship experience will be exposed by referring to the previously discussed topics.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
