Abstract

Objective To understand the current situation of family rearing environment and behavioral problems of the "second child" aged 4 to 6 years in Jiangsu Province, and to explore the relationship between behavioral problems and family rearing environment, so as to provide theoretical basis for promoting the healthy development of "second child". Methods Using stratified cluster random sampling, a total of 1 181 "second child" aged 4 to 6 years who met the inclusion criteria in Nanjing, Wuxi, Nantong, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Suqian and Lianyungang in Jiangsu Province were selected from March to July 2019. The Family Rearing Environment Scale for 3- to 6-year-old children and Achenbach Behavior Scale for 4- to 16-year-old children were used for investigation. χ² test, univariate analysis, multivariates regression analysis and correlation analysis were used to analyze data. Results The total detection rate of poor family rearing environment of 4- to 6-year-old "second child"preschoolers in Jiangsu Province was 9.48%(112/1 181), and the detection rate of poor environment of emotional warmth/self-expression was the highest. The total detection rate of behavioral problems was as high as 15.92%(188/1 181). There was significant difference in the detection rate of somatic complaints(χ²=4.027) and sexual problem factors(χ²=4.374) between 4-year-old children and 5-year-old children (P<0.05). The detection rate of behavioral problems in poor family rearing environment was significantly higher than that in good and medium family rearing environment (χ²=9.901, 26.853, P<0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that moderate (OR=0.572) to good environment(OR=0.464) of language/cognitive information, good environment of neglect/intervention/punishment (OR=0.400) were protective factors for behavioral problems of "second-child" preschoolers (P<0.01). Conclusions The current situation of behavioral problems of "the second child" aged 4 to 6 in Jiangsu Province is not optimistic, and behavioral problems are closely related to many aspects of family rearing environment. More attention should be paid to the healthy development of the behavior of "second child" preschoolers and the spread of relevant knowledge. Besides, caregiversare encouraged to actively establish a good family rearing environment.
