Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the frequency of parental conflict （OR=3.020）,interpersonal sensitivity （OR=4.567）,history of COVID-19 infection （OR=4.078）,history of centralized isolation of COVID-19 （OR=3.893）,sequelae of COVID-19 （OR=2.362）,and social support （OR=3.044） were all independent risk factors that led to negative emotions of adolescent patients in fever clinics during the epidemic.
