Abstract

Objective To understand the current situation of behavioral problems of preschool children aged 4 to 6 years in Shenyang, and to analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for preventing behavioral problems. Methods Preschool children aged 4 to 6 years in 36 classes of 18 kindergartens from 9 districts of Shenyang City were selected as the study subjects, and the basic situation questionnaire and Questionnaire-Children with Difficulties (QCD) were distributed. According to the score of QCD questionnaire, children were divided into functional impairment group (QCD＜30) and non-functional impairment group (QCD≥30). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted for analyzing the factors associated with behavior problems. Results A total of 900 questionnaires were distributed, of which 877 were returned and 834 were qualified. The overall rate of functional impairment was 13.3%. The rate of functional impairment in boys and girls was 15.1% (67/443) and 11.3% (44/391), with the ratio of 1.34∶1. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that begging communication(OR=5.878, 95%CI:1.626 - 21.253) and homework time of 30 to 60 minutes(OR=2.372, 95%CI:1.146 - 4.908) were risk factors for children's behavioral problems, while age of 5 to 6 years old(5 years old OR=0.261, 95%CI: 0.137 - 0.497; 6 years old OR=0.522, 95%CI:0.295 - 0.923) and doting education(OR=0.231, 95%CI:0.068 - 0.783) were protective factors (P<0.05). Conclusions The behavioral problems of 4- to 6-year-old children in Shenyang are prevalent, and the influencing factors are complex. It is supposed to avoid the corresponding risk factors in advance and prevent the occurrence of children's psychological and behavioral diseases in early stage.
