Abstract Objective To investigate mental health status of soldiers and the related factors. Methods Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90) was used to investigate 261 guard soldiers.Results ①The scores of factors were lower than the military norm in the SCL-90 except for compulsion and hostility (P<0.05). The scores of factors were higher than the national norm in the SCL-90 except for depression, hostility and phobia (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in SCL-90 factor scores between compulsory soldiers and sergeants(P>0.05). ②In the analysis of relevant factors, the education level, status as an only-child and nature of the job had little effect on mental health, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The reasons to join the army, vision of life in the army and the reality had impact on their metal health (P<0.05). .Conclusion The level of mental health ofguard soldiers is higher than specified by the military norm, but there are still some problems. We should reinforce their mental health education with reference to the related factors.
