The number of rural Chinese parents who leave their children with family members to work in the cities has increased dramatically over the last decade. This study compared the social anxiety of left-behind children (LBC) and children not left behind (non-LBC).
We investigated 1694 LBC and 1223 non-LBC, aged seven to 17 years, in a Chinese province using a structured questionnaire that included questions about socio-demographic characteristics, social anxiety, family function, quality of life, neglect and physical abuse.
LBC displayed higher social anxiety scores, more neglect, lower parental educational level, lower quality of life, lower family function and lower prevalence of physical abuse than non-LBC. Multiple linear regression models showed that higher Social Anxiety Scales for Children (SASC) scores in LBC were clearly associated with lower quality of life, poorer family function, physical abuse, being female, having more siblings and minorities. In non-LBC, they were associated with lower quality of life, poorer family function, neglect, being female and physical abuse.
LBC have a relatively higher level of social anxiety and poorer living conditions than non-LBC, and there are differences in social anxiety, and its relevant factors, between the two groups.
在过去十年中，将孩子留给家人自己去城市务工的中国农村父母数量急剧增加。本研究比较了留守儿童（LBC）和非留守儿童（非LBC）的社交焦虑情况。
我们在中国一个省份对1694名7至17岁的留守儿童和1223名非留守儿童进行了调查，使用一份结构化问卷，其中包括有关社会人口学特征、社交焦虑、家庭功能、生活质量、忽视和身体虐待等问题。
与非留守儿童相比，留守儿童的社交焦虑得分更高、遭受更多忽视、父母教育水平更低、生活质量更低、家庭功能更差且身体虐待发生率更低。多元线性回归模型显示，留守儿童较高的儿童社交焦虑量表（SASC）得分明显与较低的生活质量、较差的家庭功能、身体虐待、女性、兄弟姐妹较多以及少数民族有关。在非留守儿童中，这些得分与较低的生活质量、较差的家庭功能、忽视、女性和身体虐待有关。
与非留守儿童相比，留守儿童的社交焦虑水平相对较高，生活条件较差，且两组在社交焦虑及其相关因素方面存在差异。
