dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to determine the incidence of mental health problems among preschool-age children in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic and investigate the relationship between these problems and pandemic-related factors, considering that the pandemic has impacted society, institutions, families, and family members differently. The research was designed using a descriptive research model while the sample was determined by the maximum diversity sampling method. The participants included 414 parents, and 207 girls and 207 boys aged between 4 and 7 years. The data were obtained through a Demographic Information Form, The Questionnaire of Experience - Thoughts During the Pandemic, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The results showed that preschoolers were at risk of experiencing mental health problems during the pandemic. In particular, children who could not attend distance education and were from families that experienced economic difficulties during the pandemic were more likely to have mental health problems. Furthermore, children whose families an incorrect ideas about the pandemic were more likely to exhibit conduct problems. Gender, home location (urban or rural), and the type of school attended (state or private) had no significant association with the children's mental health. Overall, the study shows that preschool children were at risk of mental health problems during the pandemic. The risk factors that may be particularly relevant were also identified.en_US
