Methods The field questionnaire survey was conducted among 730 college students with stratified-cluster sampling method in Zhengzhou University.The self-administered anonymous survey instruments included the Interpersonal Relationships Integrated Diagnosis Questionnaire, Parental Bonding Instrument questionnaire, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results ①Detection rate of interpersonal relationship was 47.8% in 730 college students.Severe interpersonal disturbances accounted for 16.3%.The most serious problem was communication and making friends disturbance which accounted for 58.5% of the total.②There were statistical differences of conversation scores ((2.15±1.66), (2.53±1.83), (2.22±1.79)) among different major college students (medical, engineering, liberal arts)(P<0.05). A statistical difference was found in making friends((2.76±1.89), (3.18±1.92)) and getting along with opposite gender ((2.23±1.82), (1.81±1.66)) between male and female(P<0.05). There were significant differences of conversation ((2.58±1.84), (2.02±1.65)), making friends ((3.28±1.93), (2.78±1.88)) and getting along with opposite gender ((2.16±1.75), (1.77±1.69)) between grade one and three students(P<0.05). ③The interpersonal disturbances were significantly related to parental bonding styles, anxiety and sleep quality.④The results of logistic regression showed that anxiety was the main risk factor (B=1.42, OR=4.4, 95%CI=1.74-9.86, P<0.01) and maternal parenting style and sleep quality were protective factors(P<0.01)of interpersonal disturbances. Conclusion The interpersonal disturbance, which are severe and affected by multiple factors in college students, should be paid attention by school, society and family to improve their learning and growing environment in order to promote their physical and mental health.
