The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between parental styles and mental problems among Vietnamese high school students. In total, 16.4 percent of 757 eligible participants reported mental difficulties. Findings showed that being female and in grade 12 were risk factors to mental problems while living in Hue city was likely as a protective factor. The father’s warmth reduced the risk of having mental problems among adolescents, while an overprotective mother increased the risk. There was no correlation between authoritarianism of both mother and father and mental difficulties. These results suggest that a parenting program for parents might reduce the risk of mental problems among Vietnamese youth.

越南城市晚期青少年的心理健康：养育方式的关联

本研究旨在探讨越南高中生父母风格与心理问题之间的相关性。总共有 757 名符合条件的参与者中有 16.4% 报告了精神困难。调查结果表明，女性和 12 年级是心理问题的危险因素，而住在顺化市可能是一种保护因素。父亲的温暖降低了青少年心理问题的风险，而过度保护的母亲则增加了风险。父母的威权主义与精神障碍之间没有相关性。这些结果表明，为父母制定的育儿计划可能会降低越南青年出现心理问题的风险。
