[Analysis of psychological resilience of left-behind high school students in Nanchong rural].

OBJECTIVE

To analyze the scores of psychological resilience of left-behind rural high school students and then provide the basis of mental health supporting for these students.

METHODS

survey include multi-stage sampling, extracting a total of 1,000 students of all grades from two rural high schools, and letting them fill the questionnaire "New Resilience & Youth Development Module" within limited time.

RESULTS

Contrast between students being left-behind for varying length of time and non-left-behind ones: school factors (36.57 +/- 8.62), internal factors (49.44 +/- 9.89), peer factors (16.78 +/- 3.82) and family factors (22.90 +/- 7.56). Students being left-behind for varying length of time all score lower than non-left-behind ones, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Contrast between gender: left-behind high school girls score lower than left-behind high school boys and non-left-behind students in school psychological resilience (34.84 +/- 6.62), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Contrast between different types of being left-behind and non-left-behind: parents left-behind vs non-left-behind, and father-left-behind vs non-left-behind-school factors (33.43 +/- 7.43 vs 39.70 +/- 8.12), social factors, internal factors, peer factors and family factors. Students of both types score lower than non-left-behind ones, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

The psychological resilience scores of left-behind high school students are lower than that of non-left-behind students. Therefore, effective measures is necessary to improve the psychological resilience of left-behind rural high school students.
