Objective:
To explore the relationship between pubertal knowledge-attitude-practice(KAP) and quality of life (QoL) of left-behind children in adolescence, and to provide a scientific reference for making measures to improve QoL of left-behind children.
Methods:
In December 2017, 3 524 left-behind children from 5 primary schools and 5 middle schools in Chongqing were selected by stratified cluster sampling method carry out the Quality of Life Scale of adolescent children and the Questionnaire of Adolescent Knowledge and Belief.
Results:
The scores of total QoL, physicaland social dimensions of left-behind children[(140.81±17.19)(30.05±5.07)(50.99±8.32)points, respectively]were lower than those of non-left-behind children[(141.81±17.53)(30.35±5.06)(51.73±8.44)point, respectively](P<0.05). Gender, School period, puberty timing, family rearing pattern and economic status had significant influence on the QoL of left-behind children (P<0.05). The adolescent attitude and behavior had a positive effect on total QoL and the scores of physical, psychological, social and adolescent dimensions of left-behind children(B=0.62, 0.08, 0.11, 0.30, 0.13;0.77, 0.11, 0.20, 0.26, 0.19, P<0.01); and knowledge had a positive effect on the adolescence of QoL(B=0.04, P<0.01).
Conclusion
The adolescent attitude, behavior and quality of life of left-behind children were positively correlated. Strengthening adolescent health education for left-behind children, focusing on conveying correct adolescent attitude to students, and promoting the transformation of correct attitude to positive practice, can improve the QoL of adolescent left-behind children.

The scores of four dimensions of life quality of students with secure attachment[(30.40±5.11)(39.42±6.42)(53.45±7.99)(21.73±3.69)] were significantly higher than those of students with insecure attachment[(29.54±5.15)(37.87±6.66)(49.02±8.69)(20.02±3.60)](P<0.05).
