ABSTRACT
Background
Research on minors’ mental health is a current necessity as a way to
detect, analyze and prevent possible mental disorders.
Objective
The goal of this study was to analyze the influence of minors’ educational
stage and their parents’ occupational social class as risk factors
for minors’ mental health.
Method
We used the results obtained in the National Spanish Health Survey
2006, with a sample of 5812 minors between 4 and 15 years of age.
Measures associated with the independent variables were estimated
through the measurement of mental health on the Strengths and Difficulties
Questionnaire (SDQ-parents’ version).
Results
The relation between mental health and the variables occupational
social class 1 (more privileged) (O.R. 0.256) and social class 2 (middle
class) (O.R. 0.523) was significant (p
‹0.05) in comparison with
social class 3 (more disadvantaged). However, whether the minors
were in pre-school (O.R. 1.138) or primary school (O.R. 1.162) was
nonsignificant (p›0.05) in comparison with secondary school.
Discussion and conclusion
It is concluded that high and middle occupational social classes are
protector factors for minors’ mental health in comparison to belonging
to a low occupational social class. However, being a student in preschool
or in primary school is not a risk factor for mental health in
comparison to being a secondary school student.
