Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate factors associated with life satisfaction among adolescents who have been relocated for poverty alleviation, so as to provide scientific evidence to support adolescent physical and mental well-being. Methods A multi-stage stratified random sampling was conducted from June to August 2023 across 24 relocation sites in 8 counties of 4 cities in Shanxi Province. A total of 631 adolescents aged 10-19 were surveyed regarding personal characteristics, family environment, health behaviors, mental health, and social capital. Univariate analysis of variance and binary Logistic regression were used to explore the influencing factors. Results The life satisfaction rate of the relocated adolescents was 63.9%(403/631), and the average score of life satisfaction was (23.21±6.28). The Logistic regression analysis showed that, significant factors affecting life satisfaction of the relocated adolescents included age (17-19 years old: AOR=0.54, 95%CI=0.33-0.88), subjective family economic status (moderate: AOR=1.70, 95%CI=1.04-2.76; good: AOR=6.95, 95%CI=1.85-26.16), sleep quality (good: AOR=1.61, 95%CI=1.09-2.38), depression (AOR=0.94, 95%CI=0.90-0.99), and social capital (AOR=1.17, 95%CI=1.10-1.23)(P < 0.05). Conclusions The satisfaction of 17-19-year-old adolescents who have relocated for poverty alleviation is relatively low, while those with better family economic status, high sleep quality, low depression level and rich social capital showed high life satisfaction. Targeted interventions by families, communities, schools, and social institutions are recommended to improve adolescents' quality of life.
