Objective To assess the current competency status of grassroots mental health prevention personnel in Hunan Province and explore its influencing factors, thereby providing a basis for optimizing human resource strategies. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted using cluster random sampling among 2, 276 grassroots mental health workers from 14 prefectures in Hunan. Competency was evaluated using the “Competency Evaluation Index System for Professional Technical Personnel in Mental Health Prevention, “ with data analyzed via t-tests, ANOVA, multiple linear regression, and interaction effect analysis. Results A total of 2 053 valid questionnaires were collected, yielding an effective response rate of 90.2%. The overall mean competency score was 188.37±32.902, with an average item score of 3.69. The personal traits dimension scored the highest (4.02), while the theoretical knowledge dimension scored the lowest (3.53). Multiple regression analysis indicated that gender, professional category, full-time status, and weekly working hours were independent influencing factors of competency (P<0.05). Interaction analysis revealed that increasing weekly working hours could buffer the competency gap associated with part-time roles. Conclusion The overall competency of grassroots mental health workers in Hunan is moderately high, yet a structural imbalance exists with stronger attitudes but weaker theoretical knowledge. It is recommended to strengthen theoretical training, promote full-time positions, and ensure adequate working hours for part-time staff to enhance service capacity.
