| Objective To understand the relationship between depression and mental health literacy or the attitude towards mental illness among grassroots administrators， in order to provide a reference for further improving mental health services and building a psychosocial service system.Methods In October 2020， a total of 690 grassroots administrators from street offices in Licheng district of Ji'nan city were selected as the research subjects. Self-designed general situation questionnaire， mental health care knowledge questionnaire， mental illness related attitude questionnaire and Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS） were used to evaluate. Multi-factor linear stepwise regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of mental health literacy and attitude towards mental illness among the grassroots administrators.Results A total of 248 people （37.07%） were found to have depression. There were significant differences in the detection rate of depression among different ages （χ2=16.110）， education level （χ2=18.949）， marital status （χ2=8.611） and position （χ2=11.584） （P?0.05 or 0.01）. In such personnel， the score of mental health care knowledge questionnaire was （15.20±2.77）， the awareness rate was 75.99%， and the score of mental illness related attitude questionnaire was 36（31~38）. The severity of depression was negatively correlated with the score of mental health care knowledge questionnaire （r=-0.379， P?0.01）， and positively correlated with the scores of mental illness related attitude questionnaire （r=0.103， P=0.007）. Regression analysis showed that the education level （β=0.141， P?0.01） and the severity of depression （β=-0.305， P?0.01） were the influencing factors of mental health literacy. And the severity of depression （β=0.083， P=0.034） was the influencing factor of the attitude towards mental illness.Conclusion Grassroots administrators has a high detection rate of depression. And the more depressed they are， the lower the mental health literacy， but the attitude of mental illness is more positive. |
