Abstract

Objective To explore the characteristics of mental health and self-concept and their correlations of urban migrant children in China. Methods Urban migrant primary students and secondary school students (PSMH) in Guizhou were investigated with mental health test and Tennessee Self concept Scale (TSCS).Finally 453 valid questionnaires of urban migrant children had been selected from those questionnaires. Results The ratio of mental health symptom in urban migrant children was higher than that of common children (χ2=78.74,P<0.01).The incidences of self-reproach,dread,impulsion and the total points of PSMH in the girls were higher than those in the boys(P all<0.05).There were significant differences among grades in the total points and other factors of PSMH (P<0.01).The level of self-concept in urban migrant children was lower than that of common children.The incidences of some factors of self-concept in the girls were higher than those in the boys(P<0.05 or <0.01).There was significance difference among grades in all factors of self-concept.There were significance correlations between the total points and all the factors of PSMH except physical symptom and self-reproach (P all<0.05). Conclusions There are significant differences between gender and among grades in all factors of PSMH and TSCS,and significant correlations exist between mental health and self-concept.
