Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the prevalence of hyperactive behavior and risk factors among preschool children, and to provide a reference for early intervention of problem behavior.
Methods:A total of 7 982 children aged 3-6 were selected from 30 kindergartens by multi stage stratified cluster random sampling in 5 areas, Anhui Province, and their parents were surveyed with Conners Parent Rating Scales(PSQ) and Related factors questionnaire from June to July 2020.
Results:A tollay of 126 children were detected with hyperactivity behaviors, with a detection rate of 1.6%. The detection rate of boys (2.2%) was higher than that of girls (0.8%). The difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=26.51, P <0.01). Among 126 hyperactive children, 40(31.7%)had another type of behavior problem, and 82(65.1%)had two or more additional behavior problems. The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that boy( OR =2.85, 95% CI =1.88-4.30), sleep deprivation( OR =1.87, 95% CI =1.31-2.68), occupation of mother being farmer or otherwise( OR =1.81, 95% CI =1.11-2.94) were associated with more hyperactivity behavior. While, living with parents in the past six months ( OR =0.61, 95% CI =0.40-0.92) was associated with less hyperactivity behavior( P <0.05).
Conclusion:Early intervention of preschool children s behavior problems should focus on boys, maintain reasonable sleep time and increase parental care.
