Pearson correlation analysis showed that the scores of parents' psychological distress were negatively correlated with the scores of social support ( P<0.01) , and positively correlated with the scores of care burden ( P<0.01) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that family location, family monthly income, education level, course of distress, social support and care burden were the influencing factors of psychological distress in parents of children with mental disorders ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The parents of children with mental disorders have a moderate level of psychological distress, which needs to be improved.
