Abstract:Objective To investigate the status of anxiety and its influencing factors among rural left-behind preschoolers in Chizhou City so as to provide a basis for developing targeted psychological intervention measures in future. Methods A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to recruit 1,512 rural preschoolers aged 3-5 years in Chizhou City. Self-designed basic information questionnaire and Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire were employed to analyze anxiety status of the rural left-behind preschoolers and its influencing factors. Results The rural left-behind preschoolers accounted for 31.9% of rural preschoolers in Chizhou City. The anxiety score of the left-behind preschoolers was significantly higher than that of the non-left-behind ones ((0.36±0.34) vs. (0.32±0.31), P<0.05). The anxiety scores of rural left-behind preschool boys and girls were both lower than those of the national norm ((0.31±0.32) vs. (0.60±0.61), (0.35±0.32) vs. (0.51±0.59)). The rural left-behind preschoolers with a father or a mother as the main guardian, with a main guardian as an employee in enterprises and institutions/commercial service industry , with only one of the parents going out for working, with the parents going out for working in and before 2011, with a father and (or) a mother starting to go out for working before the birth of his or her child, as non-only-one child and with negative coping style had a higher score of anxiety (P<0.05). Conclusions The score of anxiety of the rural left-behind preschoolers in Chizhou City is lower than that of the national norm. The anxiety level of the rural left-behind preschoolers is significantly higher than that of the non-left-behind ones in rural areas, and it is influenced by types and occupation of the main guardian, parents’ types and starting year of going out for working, children’s months of age when parents go out to work, being a only-one child in a family and coping style. Thus it should cause more extensive concern of the society.
