Abstract Objective To quantitatively assess the mental health status of recruits and to analyze the related factors in order to provide a theoretical basis for mental health education.Methods Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90) , Coping Style Questionnaire (CSQ) , State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Self-Esteem Scale(SES) were used to test the mental state of 421 recruits enlisted between the summer and autumn of 2013. Results Compared with recruits with siblings, recruits without siblings had higher scores of somatization, obsessive-compulsivedisorder, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid, psychotic, and total score of SCL-90 (P<0.05). Urban recruits had higher scores of somatization, depression, anxiety, and total score of SCL-90 than rural ones(P<0.05). The scores of problem-solving, resorting and self-esteem in recruits with a lower SCL-90 score were higher than those in recruits with a higher SCL-90, but the scores of self-blame, fantasy, avoidance, rationalization, anxiety state, trait anxiety were all lower(P<0.01). The total scores of SCL-90 and factors were negatively correlated with problem-solving, resorting and self-esteem, but were positively correlated with self-blaming, fantasy, avoidance, rationalization, anxiety state and trait anxiety(P<0.01). Anxiety state had the biggest effect on the total score of SCL-90, followed by self-blame, fantasy, trait anxiety, and rationalization .Conclusion Recruits with siblings or from rural areas have a higher level of mental health. There is statistically significant difference in CSQ, STAI and SES between recruits of different mental health status. Coping style and state-trait anxiety have a direct effect on mental health of recruits.
