Objectives: To understand the current situation of intergenerational care and psychological health of the elderly in China, explore the relationship between them and other factors affecting psychological health, and propose countermeasures to improve the psychological condition and promote the psychological health of the elderly through mechanism testing. Methods: Using data from the 2018 China Health and Aging Tracking Survey (CHARLS), we analyzed the relationship between intergenerational care and the psychological status of older adults using binary logistic regression and analyzed the mechanism of influence through a mediation effect test. Results: A total of 4726 older adults aged 60 and above were included in this study, and 2267 (47.97%) of them provided intergenerational care. The results of univariate tests showed that among the selected variables, gender, marital status, household status, number of pain, disability, chronic disease, sleep, activity participation, life satisfaction, and intergenerational care had statistically significant differences on the mental health status of older adults (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the provision of intergenerational care, participation in social activities, satisfaction with high life satisfaction, and adequate sleep were the contributing factors to the mental health status of the elderly; female, rural household, number of pains of 2 or more, disability, and having chronic diseases were the inhibiting factors to the mental health of the elderly. Providing intergenerational care improved the odds of mental health occurrence among older adults, controlling for various confounding factors (OR = 1.43, 95%CI: 1.158~1.780). Conclusions: About half of the elderly in China will be responsible for caring for their grandchildren for various reasons, and providing intergenerational care can help increase the probability of mental health occurrence among the elderly.
