ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
COVID-19 continues to have a global impact and has yet to converge. Behavioral restrictions in daily life are widespread, forcing changes to the behavioral patterns of people. Significant changes have also occurred in children's lives, raising concerns about mental health. The same is true for anxiety symptoms. RESEARCH In this paper, we described the COVID-19 pandemic effects on mental health, summarized Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) as an applicability of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for COVID-19, and summarized ICBT's current state as a response for anxiety. An overview of previous intervention studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on ICBT, showed that many studies were highly effective against anxiety symptoms. Furthermore, regarding the follow-up of ICBT's intervention effect, long-term effect maintenance was also clarified. It was likewise pointed out that ICBT may be used in the future since it is beneficial for children's anxiety symptoms in telemedicine.CONCLUSIONS:
Based on these results from previous studies, we discuss ICBT's applicability during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, future measures and prospects for children's mental health during the pandemic are discussed in this study.
