About this study

Official title: The Demand for Psychological and Social Services Related to COVID-19 Pandemic in Families of Patients With Severe Mental Disorders

Severe mental disorders represent a major public health concern, imposing substantial disease burden and adversely affecting multiple dimensions of patients' lives, while also creating intergenerational impacts on their offspring and families. Existing evidence suggests that children of affected patients demonstrate elevated vulnerability to various physical and psychological challenges during developmental stages.

Currently, China lacks systematic data regarding reproductive patterns and child-rearing practices among patients with severe mental disorders. To address this knowledge gap, investigators are conducting a multicenter epidemiological survey across ten representative cities and regions nationwide. This study aims to comprehensively examine the reproductive history, child-rearing circumstances, and family socioeconomic status of this population. The findings will establish a crucial foundation for subsequent analytical epidemiological investigations and intervention studies, while informing evidence-based mental health policy formulation.

The study population consists of registered patients (aged 18-59 years) in the national severe mental disorder management system who meet diagnostic criteria for: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, paranoid personality disorder, schizoaffective disorder, epilepsy-induced mental disorders, or intellectual disability-associated mental disorders. Eligible participants must have documented childbirth history (including miscarriage, preterm, and term deliveries).
