MethodsIn October 2020， a total of 690 grassroots administrators from street offices in Licheng district of Ji'nan city were selected as the research subjects. Self-designed general situation questionnaire， mental health care knowledge questionnaire， mental illness related attitude questionnaire and Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS） were used to evaluate. Multi-factor linear stepwise regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of mental health literacy and attitude towards mental illness among the grassroots administrators. ResultsA total of 248 people （37.07%） were found to have depression. There were significant differences in the detection rate of depression among different ages （χ2=16.110）， education level （χ2=18.949）， marital status （χ2=8.611） and position （χ2=11.584） （P˂0.05 or 0.01）. In such personnel， the score of mental health care knowledge questionnaire was （15.20±2.77）， the awareness rate was 75.99%， and the score of mental illness related attitude questionnaire was 36（31~38）. The severity of depression was negatively correlated with the score of mental health care knowledge questionnaire （r=-0.379， P˂0.01）， and positively correlated with the scores of mental illness related attitude questionnaire （r=0.103， P=0.007）. Regression analysis showed that the education level （β=0.141， P˂0.01） and the severity of depression （β=-0.305， P˂0.01） were the influencing factors of mental health literacy. And the severity of depression （β=0.083， P=0.034） was the influencing factor of the attitude towards mental illness. ConclusionGrassroots administrators has a high detection rate of depression. And the more depressed they are， the lower the mental health literacy， but the attitude of mental illness is more positive.
