Abstract: Objective To find out social support status and its influencing factors in left-home-kids in rural areas. Methods 893 left-home-kids and 335 non-left-home-kids were interviewed with the social support rating scale. Results The total score of social support of left-home-kids was obviously lower than that of non-left-home-kids; in the same way, the score of female was higher than male, the score of low age group was higher than high age group, the score of kids with father or mother as the custodian was higher than that of other custodian subjects; the score of children whose left-home duration was more than five years was higher than that of lower than one year. Conclusions The social support of left-home-kids was poorer than non-lefthome-kids. There is some difference in the social support in left-home-kids with different sex, age, custodian subject, left-home duration. Social support should be given to children with low social support.
