Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current situation and related factors of negative emotions in mothers of infants aged 0-3 years.Methods:Totally 1 183 mothers of 0-3-year-old infants in 3 communities of a districts and counties were selected.They were investigated with the self-designed demographic information questionnaire and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale(DASS-21).Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the re-lated factors of mothers'negative emotions.Results:The detection rates of mild and above depression,anxiety and stress were 34.74%,46.07%and 18.10%respectively.The multiple linear regression analysis showed that moth-ers with fewer children,higher social prestige/stable occupation,and higher education were more depressed(β=-0.10,0.15,0.16).Mothers with higher social prestige/stable occupation and higher education were more anxious(β=0.14,0.17).Mothers who lived in areas with higher levels of economic and social development,or with higher social prestige/stable occupations and with higher education were more stressed(β=0.10,0.14,0.15).Conclu-sion:The mothers of 0-3-year-old infants have high detection rate of mild negative emotions.The residence,occu-pation,education level and the number of children are related to the negative emotions of mothers.
