ResultsThe overall level of filial piety was 85.23 ± 9.22, among which the care dimension was 84.60 ± 9.75 and the respect dimension was 86.12 ± 11.76; 111 adults were with anxiety (12.13%), and patients with mild and moderate anxiety respectively were 88 (9.62%) and 23 (2.51%) cases. The overall level of filial piety was negatively correlated with the level of anxiety (r=-0.403, P <0.01), and the level of filial piety is an independent factor affecting the level of anxiety in adults (B=-0.299, P<0.01) . Other factors also includethe quality of sleep, illness, duration, beliefs, occupational stability.
ConclusionThe high level of filial piety in adults is moderately correlated with anxiety and is an independent risk factor for anxiety in this population. The adult's education of filial piety should be strengthened and the positive adjustment of filial piety to anxiety should be strengthened in order to better solve the physical and mental health problems caused by the pension burden.
