Abstract: Objective To investigate the level of psychological adaptation and its influencing factors in preselected recruits,so as to provide evidence for psychological intervention in pre-service training. Methods Totally 1 199 preselected recruits in Qingdao City of Shandong Province were surveyed from March to April 2022 with the army recruit adaptability questionnaire,self-rating anxiety scale（SAS）,self-rating depression scale（SDS）,Chinese perceived stress scale（CPSS）,interpersonal sensitive factor in symptom check list 90（SCL-90）,and the data were analyzed. Results The adaptation score[M（P₀,P₁₀₀）] of preselected recruits was 54（40, 130）. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of psychological adaptation among the preselected recruits with different household type,family structure,parenting style,pre-service training modes and interpersonal communication（all P<0.05）. The psychological adaptation score in preselected recruits was positively correlated with SAS score（r=0.710,P<0.01）,positively correlated with SDS score（r=0.553,P<0.01）,positively correlated with CPSS score（r=0.520,P<0.01）,and positively correlated with interpersonal sensitive factor of SCL-90（r=0.562,P<0.01）. The SAS,SDS,CPSS,SCL-90 interpersonal sensitive factors,household type,pre-service training mode,interpersonal communication were the influencing factors of psychological adaptation of preselected recruits（β=0.109,0.072,0.465,0.173,-0.040,0.123,0.078,all P<0.05）,with a percentage of explained variance 58%. Conclusion The recruits from urban areas with poor interpersonal communication should be paid more attention to and democratic management is more favorable when conducting a pre-service training. The psychological intervention should be carried out from three aspects of emotional adaptation,interpersonal adaptation and stress adaptation to improve the level of psychological adaptation of preselected recruits.
