Correlation analysis and mediation effect analysis were conducted with the collected data. Results The level of childhood abuse of college students with left-behind experience was higher than that of college students without left-behind experience (Z=-2.696，P=0.007), and the level of psychological resilience was lower than that of college students without left-behind experience (Z=-3.267，P=0.001).The scores of the Chinese Mental Resilience Scale, Childhood Abuse Questionnaire and Symptom Check List were negatively correlated(r=-0.279, P<0.001, r=-0.247, P<0.001). The scores of Childhood Abuse Questionnaire and Symptom Check List 90 were positively correlated(r= 0.280, P<0.001 ). The direct effect of childhood abuse on mental health problems was 0.247 and the mediation effect of resilience in total effect was 19.02%.

Regarding the OCS in college students with left-behind experience, significant differences were found in the following aspects: frequency of meeting with parents, parenting style, conflicts with caregivers, smoking and drinking (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that caregiver adopts strict parenting style (OR=1.300, 95%CI:1.025-1.649,P=0.030), indulgent parenting style (OR=1.372, 95%CI:1.017-1.852, P=0.038), smoking (OR=1.982, 95%CI:1.305-3.011, P=0.001), depressive symptoms (OR=2.423, 95%CI:1.954-3.005, P<0.001), medium self-esteem (OR=0.604, 95%CI:0.481-0.759, P<0.001) and high self-esteem (OR=0.488, 95%CI:0.362-0.659, P<0.001) were influencing factors of OCS. Conclusions The prevalence rate of OCS among college students with left-behind experience is high. Some interventions should be taken to reduce the OCS among college students with left-behind experience.
