背景资料：近年来，随着中国农村人口向城市的大规模迁移，返乡农民工人数不断增加，但有关心理健康的信息却很少。研究方法：在7个省的2,100个家庭中进行了横断面调查，以检查返回移民对心理健康的影响及其与创业经验，职业和家庭负担的关系，并与当地农村非移民进行比较。使用12项一般健康问卷（GHQ-12）测量心理健康状况，并通过因子分析提取因子得分，以衡量信心丧失，社交功能障碍和焦虑三个子领域。一般线性回归模型被用来分析数据的关联。结果如下：在调整社会和人口变量后，返乡移民的焦虑水平比农村非移民更高。创业经历减少了信心的丧失和社会功能障碍，但增加了焦虑;开始但目前没有经营企业，并有老年人在家里照顾似乎越来越关注返回移民，但不是在农村非移民。总结：我们的研究支持鲑鱼偏见效应，但职业，企业家精神和家庭负担可能有不可忽视的影响，在返回移民的焦虑。研究结果可能对促进返回移民的社会融合具有影响。
Background: Recently, increasing returning migrants in China accompany the massive rural-urban migration, but little information on mental health is available. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2,100 households from seven provinces to examine the effect of return migration on mental health and its association with entrepreneurial experience, occupation, and family burden compared with local rural non-migrants. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was used to measure mental health status, and factor scores were extracted through factor analysis to gauge three sub-domains of loss of confidence, social dysfunction, and anxiety. A general linear regression model was used to analyze the data for the association. Results: Returning migrants were more likely to have elevated levels of anxiety compared with rural non-migrants when adjusting for social and demographic variables. Entrepreneurial experiences reduced loss of confidence and social dysfunction but increased anxiety; started but not currently running a business, and having older adults at home to care seemed growing concern in returning migrants but not in the rural non-migrants. Conclusion: Our study supports the salmon bias effect, but that occupation, entrepreneurship, and family burden may have non-negligible impacts on the anxiety in returning migrants. The findings may have implications for promoting social integration for returning migrants.
