Objective To investigate the status quo and related factors of parental nurturing care ability of children aged 0-3 in Beijing, in order to provide evidence-based reference for further scientific and targeted guidance on nurturing care. Methods From July to November 2020, a self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 514 parents of children aged 0-3 years in 5 districts of Beijing. A self-designed Caregiver′s Nurturing Care Practice Self-report Questionnaire was used to assess the ability of nurturing care, including nurturing concept and style, health care, nutrition and feeding, responsive caregiving, early learning opportunities, security and safety. Univariate and multivatiate linear regression analysis were used to examine the influence of children, parents and family environment factors on nurturing care ability. Results The total score of the Caregiver′s Nurturing Care Practice Self-report Questionnaire was 77.81±10.31. The scores of nurturing concept and style, health care, nutrition and feeding, responsive caregiving, play experience, security and safety were 78.81±13.84, 69.43±11.17, 78.51±13.06, 84.00±13.66, 73.35±18.84 and 82.77±12.80, respectively.Multivariate linear analysis showed that children′s age (1 year old:β=-2.09,95%CI:-3.17- -1.02; 2-3 years old: β=-3.95, 95%CI:-5.27--2.62), annual household income (β=1.39, 95%CI:1.16-3.95), number of picture books (β=2.55, 95%CI:0.25-2.53), early learning support (β=7.20, 95%CI:6.09-8.31), and availability of a regular playground (β=5.48, 95%CI:4.33-6.63) were factors influencing the total parental nurturing ability score (P<0.05). Conclusions Parents of 0- to 3-year-old infants and toddlers have good nurturing care ability overall, but there is still room for further improvement in health care and early learning opportunity. Relative support or intervention is needed to better promote early childhood development.
