Abstract

Objective: To understand the mental health status of peasant-workers' accompanying children, explore the countermeasures, and provide empirical reference for the work of mental health education. Methods: With random sampling, 786 peasant-workers' accompanying children chosen from eight schools for migrant workers' children were surveyed with the questionnaire of Mental Health Test (MHT). The statistical analysis is carried out by SPSS 15.0. Results: The mental problems incidence rate among peasant-workers' accompanying children is significantly higher than that of general population (p 0.05). The mental health status of peasant-workers' accompanying children shows no difference in the variable of gender (p 0.05), but significant difference can be seen in the variables of parenting and only-child or not (p 0.05). Conclusion: The mental health status of peasant-workers' accompanying children is not optimistic. It is necessary to strengthen the work for mental health education to peasant-workers' accompanying children with the contributions of family, school and society.
