Abstract：Objective To understand the current status of mental health and its influencing factors among middle school students in minority areas of Sichuan Province. Methods Middle School Student Mental Health Scale (MSSMHS) was used to measure the mental health status of 860 middle school students in Liangshan Prefecture of Sichuan Province, and the factors influencing the students’ mental health status were analyzed. Results Mental health problems were identified in 44.19% of the middle school students in this minority area, and the top five mental health problems were learning pressure (48.37%), emotional volatility (47.67%), anxiety (46.98%), obsessive-compulsive symptoms (45.42%) and depression (43.37%). The results of multivariate analysis showed that good academic performance and high frequency of contact with parents had protective effects on multiple dimensions of mental health in the middle school students (P<0.05). Compared with minority students, Han students tended to have maladaptive problems (P<0.05). Compared with girls, boys were more prone to psychological imbalance (P<0.05). Compared with senior high school students, junior middle school students were more likely to have bigotry and psychological imbalance (P<0.05). The emotional instability was higher in the only children than in the non-only children (P<0.05). Middle school students whose fathers had higher educational background were more prone to obsessional symptoms, anxiety and emotional instability (P<0.05). Conclusion Mental health problems of the middle school students in minority areas of Sichuan Province are not optimistic, and learning pressure is the number one issue. The middle school students’ mental health is influenced by multiple factors, and communication between parents and children is crucially important to the middle school students’ mental health.
