ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the correlation between psychological health service demand and loneliness and anxiety depression in rural left-behind women.Methods 260 left-behind wo nen in Hebei province were surveyed by psychological health service demand scale,UCLA loneliness scale,trait anxiety scale and the center for epidemiologic studies depression scale (CES-D).Results There were statistically significant differences between the only child and non-only child left-behind women in mental health service demand ((131.72±13.91) vs (122.94±14.76)),loneliness ((52.94±5.65) vs (49.864±5.90)) and anxiety ((50.97±6.38) vs (47.16±4.80)) (t=3.313,2.899,4.151,P＜0.01).The mental health service demand,loneliness,anxiety and depression of left-behind women were different in the age of marriage (F=6.196,9.441,5.257,4.221,all P＜0.01),husband go out time (F=2.761,27.020,4.550,2.830,all P＜0.05) and degree of farm work (F=12.142,6.403,4.115,5.366,all P＜0.001).The anxiety of left-behind women was positively correlated with service content,service demand and depression (r=0.138-0.221,P＜0.01).Depression was negatively correlated with mental health service demand and service teams (r=-0.352--0.223,P＜ 0.01).Loneliness was positively correlated with service content,anxiety and depression (r=0.177-0.262,P＜ 0.01).Multiple linear regression showed that husbands go out time (β=0.326),farm work in very heavy degree (β=-0.376) and relatively heavy degree (β=-0.281),depression (β=-0.194) had a predictive effect on mental health services.Conclusion The mental health service demand of left-behind women are affected by their age,whether the only child,the age of marriage,their husbands' go out time and the degree of heavy farm work.
