Physical violence (PV) against children by parents is a worldwide public health concern. Fewer studies explored the prevalence of PV in rural areas of China. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among primary school students' parents in five rural schools located in a town of Shandong Province. Data about parental PV behaviors against their children during the past 3 months and possible risk factors of parental PV behaviors were collected. Logistic regression analyses were carried out to investigate the risk factors of parental PV behaviors against their children. Of the 978 parents investigated, the parental self-reported prevalence of PV against their children was 50.0%. Parents' favorable attitudes toward the use of corporal punishment to discipline children were found to be associated with their increased use of PV. The findings of higher prevalence of parental PV behaviors against children identified in this sample suggests the need for programs aimed at improving parents' parenting skills in this rural area of China.
父母对儿童的躯体暴力（PV）是一个全球性的公共卫生问题。较少的研究探讨了中国农村地区 PV 的流行情况。我们在山东省一个镇的五所农村学校的小学生家长中进行了一项横断面调查。收集了有关父母在过去 3 个月内对子女的躯体暴力行为以及父母躯体暴力行为可能的危险因素的数据。进行了 logistic 回归分析，以调查父母对子女躯体暴力行为的危险因素。在调查的 978 名家长中，父母自我报告的对子女躯体暴力行为的发生率为 50.0%。研究发现，父母对体罚管教孩子的有利态度与他们更多地使用躯体暴力行为有关。在这个样本中发现的父母对儿童躯体暴力行为的更高发生率表明，在中国农村地区，需要有针对性地提高父母养育技能的项目。
