摘要： 目的 了解陕西省南部贫困农村地区18～30月龄婴幼儿养育行为现状及其特征,分析其风险因素。方法 基于我国陕南农村地区1 243个婴幼儿及其家庭调查数据,使用独立样本t检验和多元线性回归分析方法从婴幼儿、监护人和家庭层面剖析贫困地区家庭婴幼儿养育行为的相关风险因素。结果 1)67.34%的样本婴幼儿监护人为母亲,10.62%的监护人为高中及以上教育;2)“昨天给儿童讲故事”,“陪孩子唱歌和陪孩子玩游戏”的比例分别仅为13.68%、38.37%和39.90%,而“有时或经常打孩子屁股”的家庭高达90%以上;3)监护人的受教育程度、家庭能否上互联网、监护人是否有手机以及家庭房屋价值和监护人的养育行为间均有显著关系(P<0.05)。结论 提高农村居民的受教育水平以及农村互联网的普及率,有利于改善农村地区婴幼儿家庭的养育行为。
