Bettigungsbalance von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Zeiten der Corona-Pandemie/Occupational balance of children and adolescents in the times of the Corona pandemic

Abstract

The Corona pandemic has significantly changed the everyday lives of children and adolescents. They experience restrictions in their usual occupations, as many occupations are either no longer possible or only possible in a different form. In this context, finding an occupational balance is a challenge that cannot always be successfully managed. This paper highlights the challenges children and adolescents face because of the restrictions imposed during the Corona pandemic. The role of occupational therapy in supporting this client group will be discussed. The Corona pandemic has thus brought the topic of occupational balance into focus, but even after this pandemic, knowledge about occupational balance is of high importance and should be focussed further on.
