Abstract

Objective: To investigate the current status of psychological and behavioral warning screening for infants and young children aged 0-3 in Nanchong City, in order to further analyze its influencing factors and provide a basis for improving the level of children's mental health services. Method: From April 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, a stratified random sample of 3000 cases was selected from maternal and child health institutions in Nanchong City for screening of early warning signs of psychological and behavioral development in infants and young children. Result: Among the surveyed infants and young children, the highest positive rate of early warning sign screening was in the large motor area (11.9%) at 3 months old, in the large motor area (2.43%) at 6 months old, in the fine motor area (2.13%) at 8 months old, in the language area (6.10%) at 2 years old, and in the personal social area (1.52%, 1.66%) at 2 and a half and 3 years old. Conclusion: Regular screening for warning signs is essential during the critical period of development in children aged 0-3 years old. Targeted health education should be carried out for caregivers at different age groups of children to help them establish correct parenting concepts.
