Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current status of the nurturing care ability of primary intergenerational caregivers for infants and young children aged 0-3 years old, and explore its influencing factors, providing reference for further constructing strategies to enhance the nurturing care ability of primary intergenerational caregivers.Methods:From November 2022 to February 2023, cluster sampling was used to select 673 primary intergenerational caregivers of infants and young children aged 0-3 from three communities in Zunyi City as participants. The survey was conducted using the General Self-Efficacy Scale and the self-made Primary Intergenerational Caregiver Nurturing Care Ability Questionnaire for 0-3 Year Old Infants and Young Children. The nurturing care ability of primary intergenerational caregivers was evaluated from five dimensions of health care, nutrition care, safety care, responsive care, and early learning opportunities. Single factor analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the factors influencing the nurturing care ability of primary intergenerational caregivers.Results:Among 673 primary intergenerational caregivers, the total score for the nurturing care ability was (88.15±13.19), and the mean of each item was (2.38±0.36). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that marital status, educational level, occupational status, and general self-efficacy were the influencing factors on the nurturing care ability of primary intergenerational caregivers for infants and young children aged 0-3 years old ( P<0.05), which explained 21.4% of the total variation. Conclusions:The nurturing care ability of the primary intergenerational caregivers for infants and young children aged 0-3 in Zunyi City are at upper middle level. Healthcare professionals should attach importance to evaluating the nurturing care ability of primary intergenerational caregivers, and provide targeted and effective interventions and support to improve their nurturing care abilities, comprehensively ensuring the healthy growth of infants and young children aged 0-3.
