To explore the willingness of care and related influencing factors among caregivers of those 'left at hometown' children under 7 years in Chinese rural areas.
Questionnaires were used to survey caregivers (n = 7585) who were identified by multi-stage stratified cluster sampling. Multi-factor ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influencing factors on the willingness of care among them.
The percentage on 'very willing', 'willing', 'unwilling' on those 'left at home' children were 41.1%, 55.4% and 3.5% respectively in the group with single parent while 19.5%, 71.4% and 9.1% respectively in the group of both parents having left home. Data from the multi-factor ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that factors including the age of the caregiver, annual per capita income for caregivers' families, social connections and the length of children's mother being absent, amount of fees for living provided by parent/parents, and the child's age and lifestyle, being the only child or not, and the age of the child when the parent/parents left the residence etc, were related to the willingness of care of the givers.
Willingness of care calls for attention and urgent improvement. Influencing factors and measures need to be taken when necessary.
探讨我国农村地区7岁以下留守儿童照料者的照料意愿及相关影响因素。
采用多阶段分层整群抽样法确定调查对象，对7585名照料者进行问卷调查。采用多因素有序logistic回归分析筛选影响其照料意愿的因素。
单亲家庭组中，对留守儿童“非常愿意”“愿意”“不愿意”照料的比例分别为41.1%、55.4%和3.5%；双亲均外出务工家庭组中，上述比例分别为19.5%、71.4%和9.1%。多因素有序logistic回归分析结果显示，照料者年龄、照料者家庭年人均收入、社会关系、儿童母亲外出时长、父母提供的生活费用金额、儿童年龄及生活方式、是否为独生子女、父母外出时儿童年龄等因素与照料者的照料意愿有关。
照料意愿值得关注且亟待改善。需针对影响因素采取必要措施。
