Abstract：Objective To explore the status of mental health and social support and its influencing factors among rural migrants in Dongjiang Reservoir area, and to provide a basis for immigration decision. Methods A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 300 re-settlers and indigenous residents (each n=150) and 300 migrants and indigenous residents (each n=150) from the Dongjiang Reservoir in the counties (towns) of Zixing City. Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and self-compiled general information questionnaire were used to investigate the current status and influencing factors of psychological health among the 600 inhabitants. Results The positive rate of SCL-90 in the surveyed re-settlers and migrants was 23.5%. The average annual family income of the re-settlers was lower than that of the indigenous residents (χ2=16.659, P=0.000), but no statistically significant difference was found in the average annual family income between the migrants and the indigenous residents. The educational level was generally higher in the indigenous residents than in the re-settlers and migrants (χ2=29.30, P=0.000). The positive detection rates of factors of SCL-90, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety and psychotic symptoms were significantly higher in the re-settlers than in the indigenous residents (t=1.831, P=0.034; t=1.919 P=0.028; t=2.789, P=0.03; t=1.932, P=0.027), but no statistically significant difference was observed in the total average score of SCL-90 and the positive detection rate of each factor score between the migrants and the indigenous residents. The positive detection rate of SCL-90 showed no significantly difference in sex ratio between the re-settlers and the migrants. The lower the educational level, the higher the positive detection rate (χ2=8.583, P=0.014). The positive detection rate of SCL-90 was found to be the highest in the age group of 31-59 years among the re-settlers (χ2=7.124, P=0.028), but to be the highest in the age group of 60 years and above among the migrants (χ2=15.396, P=0.000). Objective support, subjective support, utilization of support and the total score of support showed no statistically significant difference between the indigenous residents and the re-settlers/the migrants. Conclusions Thirty years after the migration, the mental health status of the re-settlers in the Dongjiang Reservoir area is poor than that of the indigenous residents; and hence, it is necessary to take the corresponding measures for improving the re-settlers' mental health status. But in the long run, the way of migration is more conducive to the re-settlers' mental health.
