The influence of family function on behavior problems of children aged 4 to 6

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of family function on behavior problems and family function of 4-6-year-old children. Methods The children behavior checklist (CBCL) and family assessment device (FAD) were used to investigate 416 fathers or mothers of 4-6-year-old children.The nonparametric test, Spearman correlation and binary logistic regression analysis were performed by SPSS 20.0. Results The scores of family function were 1.92(1.67, 2.17). Spearman correlation analysis showed that children's behavioral problems were positively correlated with communication (r=0.102), role (r=0.215), emotional response (r=0.158), emotional intervention (r=0.177) and behavior control(r=0.140), (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that emotional intervention could predict children's behavior problems (B=1.024, OR=2.786, 95%CI=1.354-5.733). Conclusion Emotional intervention in family function is the influencing factor of behavior level of 4-6 years old children. Key words: Preschool children; Behavioral problems; Family function; Emotional intervention function
