Objective To explore the relationship between responsibility and social adaptation of the left-behind middle school students and to provide evidence for mental health education of left-behind children.Methods 290 left-behind middle school students were selected by cluster-random-sampling.All of them were assessed by the middle school students' social adaptability scale (SAS-SSS),the inventory of parent and peer attachment (IPPA) and the scale of high school students' responsibility.Results The correlation between responsibility,attachment behavior and social adaptation of left-behind middle school students were significant(r=0.39,r=0.56,P＜0.01).There were significant differences between gender on the responsibility(male(202.64±26.78) vs female(212.67±23.24)).Regression analysis showed that mother attachment,overall responsibility,general responsibility and special fault responsibility could predict the social adaptation(P＜0.05).Responsibility and its factors played a mediating role between attachment and adaptation,taking 52.1％,20.1％,30.8％,9.1％,47.9％,40.7％ proportion of the total effect.Conclusion Responsibility is an important factor affecting the social adaptation of left-behind middle school students.

Resilience and its influential factors in left-behind middle school students in Yunyang County of Rural Three Gorges Areas in China: a cross-sectional survey.

BACKGROUND: Left-behind middle school students are a common phenomenon in the rural Three Gorges areas causing wide concerns as students in puberty undergoing rapid development of the mind and body. This study examines the mental health of the left-behind middle school students from a positive perspective instead of emphasizing negative factors, which may explore a new way to study their mental health. STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among middle school students in the Yunyang County of the Rural Three Gorges areas. Information about demographic characteristics was collected using a self-designed questionnaire; mental health status, resilience status, and the influential factors of resilience were collected using Mental Health Test (MHT) and Resilience and Youth Development Module (RYDM) scales. RESULTS: The detection rate of mental health problems in left-behind students was 6.01%. The difference in detection rates between left-behind students and non-left-behind students was not significant. The detection rates of low resilience in left-behind students was 0.95%, of medium resilience was 54.15%, and of high resilience was 44.90%. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that influential factors associated with the resilience of left-behind students included grade, contradiction with the guardian, and students' worry about their parents working outside the county. CONCLUSIONS: Future studies should explore the links between each influential factor and its influencing mechanism. Meanwhile, the appropriate mental health education activities should be conducted in line with local conditions.
