Resumen

Antecedentes: Tras el confinamiento, la escuela se adaptó a las restricciones para controlar el COVID-19. Evaluamos si el regreso al colegio constituyó un estresor para los niños o contribuyó a su recuperación tras el impacto del confinamiento. Método: Participaron 291 familias con niños entre 3 y 11 años. Los padres evaluaron a los niños a través del Sistema de Evaluación de Niños y Adolescentes (SENA) en tres momentos: T1 (unas semanas antes del confinamiento), T2 (después de estar entre 4 y 6 semanas confinados) y T3 (un año después del inicio de la pandemia). Resultados: Para los niños de Infantil, las comparaciones no mostraron diferencias en ninguna de las escalas y ninguno de los tiempos evaluados. Para los niños de Primaria, no se hallaron diferencias entre T1 y T3. La comparación entre T2 y T3 indicó una mejora en las escalas Disposición al estudio, Regulación emocional e Hiperactividad e impulsividad. Conclusiones: La vuelta al colegio contribuyó a mejorar algunas dimensiones en los niños de Primaria. Sin embargo, parece que ni el confinamiento ni las posteriores medidas restrictivas han tenido un impacto negativo en los niños de esta muestra. Para interpretar estos resultados discutimos los factores de protección y vulnerabilidad psicológica.
