Abstract: Objective: To explore the relationship between disease uncertainty among parents of myopia children and their positive psychological health, and to analyze its influencing factors. Methods: A total of 800 nearsighted children and their families from our hospital from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected as research subjects, and general information on all nearsighted children and their families was collected to analyze the current mental health status of nearsighted children, Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between parental uncertainty in Illness Scale Family Member Form (MUIS-FM) and Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well being Scale (WEM-WBS) in children with myopia. Single factor and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the influencing factors of positive mental health in children with myopia. Results: The WEM-WBS score of 800 myopic children was (48.52 ± 6.54), and the MUIS-FM score of parents of myopic children was (93.14 ± 11.23). Spearman correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between WEM-WBS score and MUIS-FM score (P<0.05); Univariate analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the WEM-WBS score among children with myopia in terms of gender and ethnicity (P>0.05), but there were significant differences in age, family education level, myopia degree, wearing glasses time, outdoor activity time, and MUIS-FM score (P<0.05); Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that young age, low educational level of family members, moderate to severe myopia, long wearing time of glasses, short outdoor activity time, and strong uncertainty of parents illness were independent influencing factors on the positive psychological health of myopic children (P<0.05). Conclusion: There is a negative correlation between the uncertainty of disease among parents of myopic children and their positive mental health. Moreover, young age, low educational level of family members, moderate to severe myopia, long wearing time for glasses, short outdoor activities, and strong uncertainty of disease among parents are independent influencing factors that affect childrens positive mental health.
