Abstract

Objective To describe the situation of domestic violent discipline experienced by children under 5 years old in rural China, and to explore its possible influencing factors. Methods Based on the baseline data of the 2016-2020 Integrated Maternal and Child Health Development Project sponsored by UNICEF, relevant data of the primary caregivers for children aged 12-59 months who participated in the survey were collected for analysis.The different types of domestic violent disciplines experienced by children last month were described in the form of the rate, and the Chi-squared test and binary Logistic regression model were used separately to conduct univariate analysis and multivariate analysis on the influencing factors of children suffering from different types of domestic violent disciplines. Results Among 4 567 caregivers, 3 317(72.6%) had used at least one type of violent discipline against children over the past month, and the prevalence of psychological aggression, physical punishment and severe physical punishment were 2 517(55.1%), 2 884(63.1%) and 521(11.4%), respectively.The clild, who was older or left behind, or whose primary caregiver was the mother or supported physical punishment, was more likely to experience domestic violent discipline(P＜0.05). Conclusions It is very common for children under 5 years old in rural China to experience domestic violent discipline.To ensure the comprehensive development of children in the future, targeted interventions should be conducted for these high-risk children.
