每100名儿童中就有13名患有焦虑症。本研究旨在探讨农村男、女青少年在焦虑自评量表上是否存在差异。总共对美国宾夕法尼亚州西部三所农村高中14-17岁的193名学生进行了调查。大多数参与者是高加索人(86.5%，n =16 7)，女性(5 3.4%，n =10 3)，年龄15.5 7岁(SD=0.93)。女性的焦虑自评均分高于男性(P <；0.0001)。女性的平均得分为25.09(SD=13.83；≥为25分可能表明需要进一步评估是否存在潜在的焦虑症)，而男性的平均得分为16.88(SD=10.81)。有趣的是，所有五个因素(特定类型的焦虑)得分在男性和女性之间有显著差异， <；0.05。将讨论心理健康护士执业的循证含义。促进焦虑筛查，以确定可能需要心理健康治疗和转介的青少年，特别是农村女青少年。
An anxiety disorder affects 13 out of every 100 children. The purpose of this paper is to determine if there are differences in self‐reported anxiety between male and female rural adolescents. In total, 193 students aged 14–17 years in three western Pennsylvania rural high schools, USA, were surveyed. The majority of participants were Caucasian (86.5%,n =167), female (53.4%,n =103), and aged 15.57 years (SD=0.93). The females' mean self‐reported anxiety score was higher than the males' score (P <0.0001). The females' mean score was 25.09 (SD=13.83; a score≥25 may indicate the need for further evaluation for the presence of a potential anxiety disorder), while the males' mean score was 16.88 (SD=10.81). Of interest, all the five factor (specific types of anxiety) scores were significantly different between males and females atP <0.05. Evidence‐based implications for the mental health nurse's practice will be discussed. Anxiety screening is promoted to identify adolescents who may need mental health treatment and referrals, especially rural female adolescents.
