[本文只供英語版本]

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute (HKJCDPRI) is inviting tenders for the development and delivery of “Educational Theatre School Tour Programme on Disaster Preparedness Education 2021” for local primary schools, which is expected to be carried out from February – October 2021. HKJCDPRI launched its first “Educational Theatre School Tour Programme for Disaster Preparedness Education” in May – November 2020, benefited a total of 50 local primary schools and over 10,000 primary students. The majority are junior primary school students. Due to the impact of COVID-19, online platforms such as Zoom and Google Classroom were used when physical performance at school was not feasible.

2019新型冠状病毒疫情持續差不多一年了，不論成人或兒童對網上工作和學習都不再陌生。以往，家長都會經常提醒子女不要經常上網，或者會限制子女的螢幕時間(screen time)。然而，在這疫情期間，又或者在將來有機會出現的「網上工作/學習」新常態下，家長又怎樣可以在支持和保護子女下，同時減低因經常看著螢幕對身心的影響呢? 甚麽是合適的螢幕時間(screen time)？可以有多長? 2019年，世界衛生組織發出首個有關兒童螢幕時間的指引，建議5歲以下幼兒每天看電子螢幕的時間不要超過1小時，而1歲以下的嬰兒則最好完全不看螢幕。而美國兒童與青少年精神醫學會(AACAP)，則建議小孩兩歲前最好不看螢幕，而2至5歲的小孩，AACAP建議平日可以有約一小時的螢幕時間，進行高質量教育，而在周六和周日則應限制在三小時以內。對於6歲以上小孩及青少年，美國心臟學會則建議每天不應多於兩小時。螢幕時間過長對兒童的影響身心發展方面根據AACAP，太多的屏幕時間可能導致睡眠問題、學校成績欠佳、學習時間縮短、與家人和朋友相處時間減少、沒有足夠的戶外活動或體能鍛鍊，長遠更加會引致體重問題、情緒問題、自我形象和身體形象低落、害怕與潮流脫節(Fear Of Missing Out, FOMO) 和減少學習其他放鬆和娛樂方式的時間。多項研究亦發現，疫情下的強制隔離或社交限制，會導致兒童和青少年更容易出現抑鬱症和焦慮症。視力方面

Equipped with the favorable feedback received during the first launch, and given that it was only able to reach 8.5% of all local primary schools in Hong Kong, HKJCDPRI plans to implement the second launch of Cantonese educational theatres for school touring in 2021, with the same objective to effectively introduce disaster preparedness education into the local primary school sector.

Tenders are now being invited. For further details, please click here to download the tender document. Deadline for tender submissions is 3 February 2021 (Wed).

Remarks: Considering that the programme will be conducted in Cantonese, the proposal and supplement details can be submitted in either Chinese or English.

迎接新冠狀病毒疫苗小錦囊

2021年1月6日

新冠狀病毒肆虐全球,最近更在英國及南非出現變種情況,令傳染力增加數倍,導致全球爆發更趨嚴重,市民日常生活受到限制,全球經濟及交通往來亦大受影響。因為新冠狀病毒暫時仍缺乏有效的治療藥物,所以除了加強防疫措施之外,最有效的方法就是利用注射疫苗增加群體免疫,切斷新冠狀病毒的傳播鏈,令到疫情受到控制。香港特區政府購買三種新冠狀病毒疫苗免費為市民接種,希望能逐漸減退疫情,社會盡快恢復正常運作。

Tab1_COVID_Vaccine_DPRI

注射新冠狀病毒疫苗的好處

1. 減低新冠狀病毒有症狀感染

2. 減低新冠狀病毒感染嚴重程度(減低使用呼吸機及深切治療需求)

3. 期望達致群體免疫以切斷新冠狀病毒傳播鏈,令社會盡快恢復正常運作

注射新冠狀病毒疫苗對個人和社會都有好處,而注射疫苗的次序是要按照群組風險管理的先後,首先注射的群組包括高危人士,如長者、醫護人員、食品處理員和緊急組別人員,然後是一般市民,但以下類別人士需要和醫生商量後,才能決定是否能夠注射新冠狀病毒疫苗:

1. 有過敏症狀的人士,特別是有嚴重過敏病歷的人

2. 免疫系統下降人士,如接受化療及愛滋病患者

3. 懷孕婦女

4. 需要哺乳的母親

5. 未滿18歲人士

6. 新冠狀病毒康復者

7. 有發燒感染症狀的患者

8. 正在接受隔離醫學監察的人士

最近醫學文獻發現約有5%懷孕婦女在感染新冠狀病毒後出現嚴重症狀,包括需要使用呼吸機、進入深切治療部和出現懷孕併發症。根據美國疾控中心的建議,如懷孕婦女亦是疾控中心建議接受疫苗的一群(例如：醫護人員),他們可以參考醫生的建議後決定是否接種新冠狀病毒疫苗。接種疫苗後仍可以計劃懷孕,因為疫苗已經滅活,不會令你和胎兒感染新冠狀病毒,需要哺乳的母親的建議也和懷孕的組別差不多。因為新冠狀病毒疫苗臨床測試18歲以下人士的數據非常有限,所以暫時不建議18歲或以下人士接種新冠狀病毒疫苗。

免疫力下降人士和醫生商討後,除非有特別原因,亦可選擇接種疫苗,但是身體免疫系統的反應是未知之數。新冠狀病毒康復者身體內的抗體會在3-6月減少,所以有機會出現第二次感染新冠狀病毒,所以與醫生商量後,在康復三個月後應該考慮接種疫苗。但在新冠狀病毒發病期間、隔離醫學觀察人士和發燒感染者,暫時都不適宜參與疫苗接種。

根據香港特別行政區的新聞發佈,將會引入三間藥廠的新冠狀病毒疫苗予香港市民免費接種,並且可以在網上選擇預約接種地點和查閱該地點所提供的疫苗種類,並可以透過電腦程式收到電子疫苗接種紀錄。根據網上資料,三間藥廠疫苗一般副作用的數據如下,大家可以按照自己的意願去選擇合適的疫苗:

Tab2_COVID_Vaccine_DPRI

資料來源：晴報, Wall Street Journal

接受疫苗注射後需要注意的事項

1. 留在疫苗注射中心15-30分鐘看看身體有沒有異樣。

2. 如果沒有出現大問題,可以繼續正常工作。

3. 妥善保存疫苗接種紀錄。

4. 盡量減少前往多人聚集的地方,因為疫苗需要一段時間才能起保護作用。

5. 仍須戴口罩,保持適當社交距離和個人感染控制措施。

6. 接受疫苗後可能會發生以下正常的輕微副作用,包括注射針口腫痛、頭痛、關節痛、發熱、淋巴腺輕微腫大、疲倦等。因為疫苗已經滅活,所以不要擔心疫苗會帶給你新冠狀病毒感染。

7. 即使你出現輕微的副作用,你仍然需要按照指示接受第二針加強劑,因為加強劑會給你更加全面的保護。

8. 如果疫苗針口有輕微腫痛,你可以用清潔涼快的濕毛巾敷患處減輕痛楚。穿著輕便的衣服也會幫助身體散熱,以舒緩發燒的情況。如果身體有疼痛,你可以服用“必理痛”減輕症狀。

9. 如果你出現以下症狀,便需要盡快求醫治療:

持續發燒多過一星期或發高燒(39度或以上)

出現呼吸困難

持續肚瀉

失去味覺或嗅覺

肢體發生無力或癱瘓的情況

皮膚出現皮疹

注射新冠狀病毒疫苗後,你的身體將會受到保護,減低新冠狀病毒有症狀感染,但身體的免疫系統需要一段時間才能產生抗體,所以在這段空窗期仍需要配戴口罩,保持注意適當的社交距離和感染控制措施,直至群體免疫成功截斷新冠狀病毒的傳播,才可以恢復正常的社交生活。

[This article is only available in Chinese.]

甚麽是合適的螢幕時間(screen time)？可以有多長?

2019年，世界衛生組織發出首個有關兒童螢幕時間的指引，建議5歲以下幼兒每天看電子螢幕的時間不要超過1小時，而1歲以下的嬰兒則最好完全不看螢幕。而美國兒童與青少年精神醫學會(AACAP)，則建議小孩兩歲前最好不看螢幕，而2至5歲的小孩，AACAP建議平日可以有約一小時的螢幕時間，進行高質量教育，而在周六和周日則應限制在三小時以內。對於6歲以上小孩及青少年，美國心臟學會則建議每天不應多於兩小時。

螢幕時間過長對兒童的影響

身心發展方面

根據AACAP，太多的屏幕時間可能導致睡眠問題、學校成績欠佳、學習時間縮短、與家人和朋友相處時間減少、沒有足夠的戶外活動或體能鍛鍊，長遠更加會引致體重問題、情緒問題、自我形象和身體形象低落、害怕與潮流脫節(Fear Of Missing Out, FOMO) 和減少學習其他放鬆和娛樂方式的時間。多項研究亦發現，疫情下的強制隔離或社交限制，會導致兒童和青少年更容易出現抑鬱症和焦慮症。

視力方面

螢幕時間過長對視力的一個明顯影響就是「數碼眼睛疲倦」(Digital Eye Strain)。研究發現，當我們凝望著螢幕時，眨眼次數會減少，而眨眼次數減少會令保護眼睛的淚水分泌減少和眼球表面的淚水蒸發得太快而造成眼乾。除了引起不適，眼乾還會增加眼角膜受傷發炎甚至感染。

近50年，全球近視的情況非常普遍。在亞洲，近9成的青少年和成年人有近視。顯然，某些原因正在影響著人們的視力。雖然現時未有確實研究數據證實近視和螢幕時間有直接關係，2019年發表在《眼科學》（美國眼科學會的官方刊物）的一項研究卻提供了證據，表明全球範圍內近視至少有一部分增長與近距離工作活動有關，這不僅是電腦或手機螢幕，傳統看書及在室內活動的時間亦較多。

如何減低不良影響?

疫情期間，成人和小孩子需要適應新的生活模式，很多家長會因為孩子不適應某些事情而安排一些彌補的活動，希望能安撫小孩或補償他們失去以往的模式。如有時間，更好的方法是: 幫助小孩找出可以表達他們感受的詞彙 (find the vocabulary) ，讓他們表達在這快速轉變下的複雜感受，聽聽他們的分享，給予他們支持和了解。

保持學習動力

LearningMotivation

網上課堂其中一個困難，是如何保持學習動力，AACAP建議家長可以:

討論有趣點: 向孩子詢問他們在網上學習甚麼，並討論為甚麼這個主題很重要和有趣;

增加任務成功感: 指導他們將作業分成較小的任務，以便他們逐步完成及得到成功感;

自主意識: 幫助他們設定短期並可實現的學習目標，在較短的上課時間或獨立學習期間內，讓孩子自己選擇如何完成任務，以鼓勵他們的自主意識

具體化反饋: 真實而且具體化地提供有關他們在網上學校所學習的課題。

用以上數點方法跟子女建立正面互信關係，如果子女已經是初小以上，家長便不要隨便在網上課堂中作出現，應盡量給予子女信任，讓他們建立學習自主性。

保護眼睛健康

有關護眼方面，美國眼科學會推廣「20-20-20護眼規則」，即當看著螢幕每20分鐘，要轉動眼睛看至少20英尺(即約6米或3個大門高度的距離) 外的物體至少20秒，以放鬆眼睛。可讓他們望出窗外，或在家中距離小孩用電腦位置一段距離的地方，放置一些他們有興趣觀賞的物件，定下時間或用計時器提醒他們學會亦提到，由於現時的藍光護眼鏡未有確實研究證明其功效，保持良好螢幕距離、20-20-20護眼規則和保持眨眼是最應採取的觀看螢幕護眼方法。

OnlineLearningTips

文中提到，現時未有確實研究數據證實近視和螢幕時間有直接關係，但是與近距離活動，如看書和常在室內活動有關。研究亦證明實，多花時間在戶外，尤其是在兒童早期，可以減慢近視的惡化速度。如果可以，可多點帶子女到戶外走走，多望望遠景。

此外，父母應首先做好榜樣，在家裡設下規則，例如：在用同膳或相處時間時不看手機等，共同建立良好護眼習慣。
