Abstract:
Objective:To explore in depth the nurturing cognition of caregivers of children aged 1 to 7 years in rural areas in the context of rural revitalization, and to reveal the facilitating and hindering factors from the perspective of positive psychology, so as to provide scientific basis for improving the "family-centered" child nurturing care services in rural revitalization areas.Methods:This study utilized a descriptive qualitative research methodology. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted in July 2024 with 20 visiting patients at the Outpatient Clinic of Shuangbai Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. The data was organized and analyzed through the content analysis method.Results:Caregivers' nurturing cognition in the area were centered around three core themes, including perceptions and learning about nurturing, factors facilitating positive nurturing, and factors hindering positive nurturing.Conclusions:Caregivers in rural revitalization areas continue to face multidimensional challenges in their nurturing cognition and lack positive traits. The family factor is a significant barrier to the establishment of positive nurturing cognition. Healthcare professionals should make use of the perspective of positive psychology to analyze in-depth the cognition of caregivers and their influencing factors, and improve the "family-centered" child nurturing care services in rural revitalization areas.
