RESUMO
Objective To find out the differences between left-behind and non left-behind junior middle school students (JMSS) on family APGAR index (APGAR),perceived social support (PSSS) and mental health (MH);and to analysis the relationship among APGAR,PSSS and MH of left-behind JMSS.Methods 2406 JMSS in rural areas were assessed in Hunan,using self-designed Demographic Data Recording Form,Family AP-GAR Index,Perceived Social Support Scale and Scale of Mental Health for Chinese Middle-school Student.Results Left-behind JMSS' PSSS(59.27±11.78 vs 60.55±11.88,P=0.009),family support (19.12±4.69 vs 19.72±4.59,P=0.012),other support (20.29±4.59 vs 20.69±4.57,P=0.033) were lower;APGAR ((4.79±2.32 vs 5.08±2.46,P=0.014) and Adaptation (0.77±0.62 vs 0.87±0.62,P=0.001) lower;mental health status score higher (2.18±0.56 vs 2.07±0.57,P=0.000) than non-left-behind JMSS.APGAR was signifi-cantly correlated with PSSS(r=0.368,P<0.000) ;APGAR (r=-0.098),in which Adapt;on (r=-0.123),Growth (r=-0.074) and qmidu (r=-0.080,PSSS (r=-0.149),in which family support (r=-0.151),friend support(r=-0.089) and other support (r=-0.137)were significantly correlated with MH of left-behind JMSS(P<0.01),family support (β=-0.126) and adaption (β=-0.086)entered the multiple linear regression equation,which can explained 16.2% of the changes on mental health(F=20.049,P=0.000).Conclusion In order to improve mental health of JMSS,parents,caregivers,should give them more family care,schools and soci-ety should pay more attention to left-behind JMSS,and give them more help and a health environment in life,teach them to find social support and solve problems in life by them through a series of mental health education.
RESUMO
Objective To find out the differences between left-behind and non left-behind junior middle school students (JMSS) on life events.Methods 2406 JMSS in rural areas were assessed in Hunan,using self-designed Demographic Data Recording Form ,Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List and Scale of Mental Health for Chinese Middle-school Student.Results Stress from studying and interpersonal relationship were the major life events for rural JMSS,scores of the total score and all the factors of life event for left-behind JMSS were higher than non-left-behind JMSS' ;with the exception of the loss factor (5.13±2.56 vs 4.94±2.33,P=0.095),the difference on the total score of life events (49.22±13.25 vs 46.42±12.67,P=0.000),relation-ships(10.28±3.74 vs 9.86±3.49,P=0.009) ,learning pressure(11.52±3.66 vs 11.03±3.66,P=0.014),being published (11.84±4.47 vs 11.28±4.12,P=0.005),health adaption (6.18±2.19 vs 5.36±1.82,P=0.000)and other factor(6.12±2.26 vs 5.73±2.09,P=0.000) were significant;Scores of mental health for left-behind JMSS were higher than non left-behind JMSS,the difference was significant(2.18±0.56 vs 2.07±0.57,P=0.000);scores of international relationships (r=0.437) ,learning pressure (r=0.373),being published (r=0.345),less(r=0.199),health adaption(r=0.338),other factors(r=0.380) were significantly correlated with mental health of left-behind JMSS,relationships(β=0.229),learning pressure(β=0.177),health adap-tion (β=0.152) and other factor(β=0.117) entered the multiple linear regression equation,which can ex-plained 26.4% of the changes on mental health of left-behind JMSS.Conclusion Compared with the non-left-be-hind JMSS,the negative life events of left-behind JMSS were more frequently,with greater negative impact,lesse-ning the occurrence of negative life events in life of left-behind JMSS was one of the effective way to develop their mental health.
RESUMO
Objective To find out the differences between left -behind and non left-behind junior middle school students (JMSS) on Coping Style,Personality and Self-Esteem,and to analysis the influence of coping style,personality and self-esteem on mental health of left-behind JMSS.Methods 2406 JMSS in rural areas in Hunan were assessed,using self-designed Demographic Data Recording Form,Simplified Coping Style Question-naire,Eysenek Personality Questionnaire,Self-Esteem Scale and Scale of Mental Health for Chinese Middle-school Student.Results Score of positive coping style was lower(1.58±0.45 vs 1.64±0.46,P=0.011),while the score of negative coping style was higher(1.14±0.49 vs 1.09±0.48,P=0.022) for left-behind JMSS than for non-left-behind JMSS;the there were no significant differences on Pschoticism (P) (4.96±3.26 vs 4.83±3.23,P=0.357) ,Extraversion(E) (16.39±3.87 vs 16.61±4.06,P=0.592)and Lie(L) (2.77±3.76 vs12.84±3.71,P=0.447),while score of Neuroticism(N) (10.94±4.83 vs 10.46±5.03,P=0.020)for left-behind JMSS was higher than non-left-behind JMSS;score of self-esteem was loweR 26.67±3.55 vs 27.27±3.56,P=0.001)for left-behind JMSS than non-left-behind JMSS.Mental health of left-behind JMSS was signifi-candy correlated with positive coping style(r=-0.044),negative coping style(r=0.383),P(r=0.331),E(r=-0.113),N(r=0.548),L(r=-0.292) and self-esteem(r=-0.315) ;N (β=0.396),negative coping style (β=0.220),P(β=0.118),aelf-esteem (β=-0.146),positive coping style(β=0.074) and L(β=-0.071)entered the multiple linear regression equation,which can explained 41.1% of the changes on mental health of left-behind JMSS(F=150.602,P=0.000).Conclusion With parents going to cities to work,rural left-behind JMSS used negative coping styles to solve difficulties more,their developments of personality were un-healthier and their score of self-esteem were lower than non-left-behind JMSS,that interfered the development of their mental health.
