abstract = {In 2020, the Governments of many countries maintained different levels of confinement of
the population due to the pandemic that produced the COVID-19. There are few studies published
on the psychological impact in the child and adolescent population diagnosed with mental disorders,
especially during the home confinement stage. Explanatory models based on socio-demographic and
clinical variables provide an approximation to level changes in different dimensions of behavioural
difficulties. A categorical-response logistic ordinal regression model, based on a cross-sectional study
with 139 children and adolescents diagnosed with mental disorders is performed for each dimension
under analysis. Most of the socio-demographic and clinical explanatory variables considered (24
of 26) were significant at population level for at least one of the four dimensions of behavioural
difficulties (15 response variables) under analysis. Odds-ratios were interpreted to identify risk or
protective factors increasing or decreasing severity in the response variable. This analysis provides
useful information, making it possible to more readily anticipate critical situations due to extreme
events, such as a confinement, in this population.},
