Methods A total of 6 484 primary school children in grades 4一6 in the rural areas of Dengzhou, Xincai and Gushi counties in southern Henan were surveyed for psychological resilience and awareness on school violence. Results The average score of psychological resilience of grade 4一6 pupils in rural areas of southern Henan was (39.92±8.18), and the average score of school violence awareness was (60.78±6.19). In terms of age, gender, grade, school type, personality, class performance, academic performance, smoking, intimate friends, playing games, truancy, loitering outside the school, relationship with siblings, father’s education, mother’s education, parental conflict, parenting style, the proportion of primary school students in different level of school violence awareness varied statistically different ( P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression showed, after controlling for confounding factors, psychological resilience was an independent influencing factor affecting awareness on school violence ( OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.05一1.08), with better psychological resilience, being associated with higher school violence awareness ( P <0.01). Conclusion The level of school violence awareness and psychological resilience of pupils in southern Henan is relatively low. The higher level of psychological resilience, the higher level of school violence awareness; psychological resilience might be improved through education and household parenting modification to prevent and reduce the incidence of violence on campus. 【摘要】 目的 了解豫南农村地区儿童心理弹性与校园暴力认知的关联, 为儿童校园暴力防控提供支持和参考。 方法 在豫南地区的邓州市、新蔡县、固始县农村, 分层随机抽取 6 484 名小学四至六年级儿童进行心理弹性、校园暴力认知等调 查。 结果 豫南农村地区四至六年级小学生心理韧性平均得分为 (39.92±8.18)分, 校园暴力认知平均得分为 (60.78± 6.19)分。在年龄、性别、年级、学校类型、性格、是否班干、学习成绩、吸烟、知心朋友、玩游戏、逃课情况、校外游荡、与兄妹 关系、父母亲学历、父母吵架、主要家庭教育、被教育方式等方面, 小学生的校园暴力认知水平分布差异均有统计学意义 (P 值均<0.01)。多因素Logistic回归分析显示, 在控制混杂因素后, 心理韧性与校园暴力认知存在正向关联 ( OR = 1.06,95% CI = 1.05~ 1.08, P <0.01)。 结论 豫南地区小学生的校园暴力认知和心理韧性水平较低, 小学生心理韧性水平越高则校园 暴力认知水平越高。可通过改善家庭教育环境和加强教育的方式提高心理弹性, 预防和降低校园暴力的发生。
