To investigate the prevalence of child physical maltreatment (CPM) by parents in a city locating in central-western region of China and identify associated risk factors.
Cross-sectional survey was carried out among a randomly sampled population of primary school students' parents in Yuncheng City. Data on parental CPM during the past 3 months, definition of CPM, Parenting Scale, parent-child interaction attitudes, social support, socio-demographic background were collected by a self-report questionnaire. Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the associations between CPM and related risk factors.
Of parents from 1,394 primary school students, there were 595 (42.7%) and 301 (21.6%) of them reported that they had minor/severe CPM behaviors toward their children during the past 3 months, respectively. The risk factors that were significantly associated with both prevalence and frequencies of minor/severe CPM included child problem behaviors, overreactivity and hostility parenting.
CPM by parents is not uncommon in China. More attention should be paid to programs that help parents learn parenting skills and use nonviolent child discipline.
调查中国中西部某城市父母对子女身体虐待（CPM）的流行情况，并确定相关的危险因素。
在郓城县随机抽取小学生家长进行横断面调查。采用自报式问卷收集父母在过去 3 个月内的 CPM 情况、CPM 的定义、育儿量表、亲子互动态度、社会支持、社会人口学背景等数据。采用 logistic 回归分析探讨 CPM 与相关危险因素的关系。
在 1394 名小学生的家长中，分别有 595 名（42.7%）和 301 名（21.6%）报告在过去 3 个月内对子女有轻微/严重的 CPM 行为。与轻微/严重 CPM 的发生率和频率均显著相关的危险因素包括儿童问题行为、过度反应和敌意育儿。
在中国，父母对子女的 CPM 并不少见。应更加关注帮助父母学习育儿技能和使用非暴力儿童纪律的项目。
