“…One study, which examined multiple substance use and self-reported suicide attempts by adolescents in 16 European countries (including Ukraine), found that the odds of reporting a suicide attempt nearly doubled for every additional substance use (Kokkevi et al 2012). Adolescent mental health is linked to parental coping strategies (Burlaka et al 2019). In Ukrainian families, higher parental alcohol use, poor family functioning, and exposure to intimate partner violence were associated with the use of negative parenting (Burlaka et al 2017a), which tended to increase the risk for aggression, rule-breaking behaviors (Burlaka 2016), and alcohol abuse among children (Burlaka 2017).…”

Early adulthood is a critical life period associated with increased suicide risk. The present study used a sample of students from ten Ukrainian public universities (N = 1005). Participants were 17 to 24 years of age (M = 19.19, SD = 1.99). The prevalence of lifetime suicidal ideation was 26.13% and 5.45% of participants reported a lifetime suicide attempt. Participants were more likely to report higher lifetime suicidal ideation if they had higher rates of alcohol and marijuana use, have met a clinical cutoff point for depression and were older, females, and not affiliated with any religion. The lifetime suicide attempt was associated with clinical levels of depression, increased marijuana use, and non-religious affiliation. These results suggest that mental health, alcohol and cannabis use can increase the risk of suicidality while religious affiliation might be an important protective mechanism for Ukrainian young adults at risk for suicidal behaviors.

“…Du yasong et al showed that family structure and environment were closely related to children's behavioral development [22], and LBC as special family structure will have more emotional [23] and social behavior problems [24].Existing results showed a sizable adverse effect of exposure to parental migration on the health and education outcomes of children [25].Numerous studies have shown that parental migration has a negative impact on EBP in children [23,[26][27][28][29][30][31]. Some research showed that changes in family structure in early childhood [32], poor family communication and decreased maternal positive reappraisal [33]were statistically associated with children's later elevated EBP. Another study found children exposed to maternal intimate partner violence (IPV)were more likely to have borderline to clinical level scores on EBP [34].…”

Background Externalizing behavior problems (EBP) is being increasingly viewed as a public health problem. Few studies have addressed EBP in Chinese hui nationality left-behind children (LBC). The aims of this current study to explore the prevalence of EBP and its influencing factors among hui nationality LBC in rural areas of China.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among school students from the southern rural areas in Ningxia, China (2012–2013). The general self-made questionnaire, Egma Minnen av Bardndosnauppforstran (EMBU), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ for Children), Piers-Harri Children's Self-concept Scale (PHCSS) and Achenbach's Child behavior Checklist (CBCL for parents) were used to investigate the related information. Descriptive analysis and logistic regressions were conducted.Results The prevalence of EBP in hui nationality LBC and non-left-behind children(non-LBC) were 12.01% (46/383) and 8.57% (49/572), respectively, and there was no significant difference between them (χ2 = 3.037, P = 0.081). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low self-concept of behavioral (OR = 13.709), introversion (OR = 11.188) and intermediate personality (OR = 9.349) were risk factors for EBP of hui nationality LBC, while the intermediate type of mother refusal and denial (OR = 0.430) was their protective factor.Conclusions Our findings suggest that parental migration is a risk factor for EBP among hui nationality LBC in rural China. And measures should be taken from self-concept development, personality development, and family education for the prevention of EBP of hui nationality LBC in rural areas of China.

“…A previous study reported that parental migration had a negative impact on IBP in children [25]. Some research has shown that changes in family structure in early childhood [26], poor family communication and decreased maternal positive reappraisal [27] were statistically associated with children's later elevated IBP. However, limited research has focused on studying internalizing problems in hui nationality LBC, and there is still a lack of research with large sample sizes that could reveal the actual background of IBP in these children.…”

Background: Internalizing behavior problems (IBPs) of left-behind children (LBC) due to parental migration, such as depression and anxiety, has aroused widespread public health concern in China. Limited research to date has focused on studying IBP in Chinese hui nationality LBC. The aims of this present study were to explore the prevalence of IBP and its influencing factors among hui nationality LBC in rural areas of China.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among school students from southern rural areas in Ningxia, China (2012-2013). The demographic data were investigated by a self-designed questionnaire. The caregivers or parents assessed internalizing behavior problems using Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL for parents). Children completed Egma Minnen av Bardndosnauppforstran (EMBU), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ for Children) and Piers-Harri Children's Self-concept Scale (PHCSS). Data on 383 hui nationality LBC aged 6–16 years used in this study were from a survey conducted. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship among the independent variables with children’s internalizing behaviors. Results: The prevalence of IBP in hui nationality LBC and non-left-behind children (non-LBC) was 21.7% (83/383) and 18.2% (104/572), respectively, and there was no significant difference between them (χ2=1.774，P=0.183). However, there was a significant difference in the prevalence of IBP among hui nationality LBC (22.2%) and non-LBC (14.1) for boys (χ2=5.086，P=0.024). Controlling for gender and age, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high mother-favoring subjects (OR=2.697), medium neuroticism (OR=12.77) and high neuroticism (OR=8.436) were risk factors for IBP in hui nationality LBC.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that parental migration is a risk factor for IBP among hui nationality LBC in rural China. Positive measures should be taken to prevent the IBP of LBC in rural Hui nationality from the aspects of personality development and parental rearing patterns.
