The present study was designed to examine the family environment and child characteristics associated with psychopathology among Chinese children. A large epidemiological sample of 1695 children aged 6-11 was drawn from 12 elementary schools in Linyi Prefecture of China. Parents completed the Child Behaviour Checklist, the Family Environment Scale, and a self-administered questionnaire including a number of items with regard to family, parental, and child characteristics. Results indicated that the overall prevalence of child psychopathology was 17.2%. Logistic regression analyses showed that a number of family and parental, as well as prenatal, perinatal and postnatal risk factors had significant association with child psychopathology. The most notable risks were derived from poor parental rearing with regard to the child's misbehaviour, low birthweight, and poor marital relations of the parents after controlling for other factors. These findings are consistent with previously reported risk factors for child psychopathology, highlighting the importance of family and early childhood intervention as a measure to prevent child psychopathology in China.
本研究旨在调查与中国儿童精神病理学相关的家庭环境和儿童特征。从中国临沂市12所小学抽取了1695名6至11岁儿童的大型流行病学样本。家长们完成了儿童行为检查表、家庭环境量表，以及一份自我填写的问卷，其中包括一些关于家庭、父母和儿童特征的项目。结果显示，儿童精神病理学的总体患病率为17.2%。逻辑回归分析表明，一些家庭、父母因素，以及产前、围产期和产后风险因素与儿童精神病理学显著相关。在控制其他因素后，最显著的风险来自于父母对孩子不当行为的不良养育方式、低出生体重以及父母糟糕的婚姻关系。这些发现与先前报道的儿童精神病理学风险因素一致，凸显了家庭和幼儿期干预作为预防中国儿童精神病理学措施的重要性。
