Abstract

The detection rates of obsessive-compulsion, hostility, and depression among female migrant workers were 6.62%, 4.18%, and 4.10%, respectively.

Mental health issues were found to vary significantly among female migrant workers from different districts, occupations, and education levels.
After adjusting for age, the association of districts, occupation, and education level with mental health issues was confirmed.
Despite a generally high level of mental health, specific concerns such as obsessive-compulsion, hostility, and depression remain prevalent.

To investigate the mental health status of female migrant workers in a city.From August to December, 2016, cluster random sampling was used to select female migrant workers aged 16-60 years from 10 districts of this city, and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and a questionnaire on general status were used.Among these female migrant workers, the detection rates of obsessive-compulsion, hostility, and depression were 6.62%, 4.18%, and 4.10%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the detection rate of mental health issues between the female migrant workers from different districts, with different occupations, or with different education levels (<0.05) . Districts, occupation, and education level were associated with mental health issues, after adjustment for age (<0.05) .Although female migrant workers in this city have a high mental health level, the issues such as obsessive-compulsion, hostility, and depression should be taken seriously. Targeted mental health surveys and comprehensive interventions should be implemented to improve the mental health level of female migrant workers. Objective: Methods: Results: Conclusion: P P
