This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate depression and anxiety symptoms of the children/grandchildren of COVID-19 patients, children/grandchildren of healthcare workers who have not infected COVID-19, and children/grandchildren of the control group. Parent and children's perception about COVID-19-related stigma is also investigated and compared between groups. The perception about COVID-19-related stigma between different age and gender groups among children also investigated and compared. The mental health of the 71 participants aged 6-18 years was evaluated via a telemedicine-based semi-structured interview between March and April 2020. Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), the Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), and COVID-19-Related Stigma Form were administered to the participants. A significant negative correlation was found between age and separation anxiety disorder (p = .005) and a significant positive correlation was found between age and generalized anxiety disorder (p = .035) in the SCARED-Child report. Generalized anxiety disorder was found to be higher in females compared to males. A significant difference was found between the groups of parents in the COVID-19-Related Stigma Form.
