To examine background factors for bullying and associations between bullying victimisation and health problems.
A cross-sectional study on all pupils in grades 7 and 9 in a Swedish county was conducted in 2011 (n=5248). Data have been analysed with bi- and multivariate models.
14% of the children reported that they had been bullied during the past 2 months. Background factors for bullying were: gender (girls more often); age (younger students more often); disability/disease; high body mass index, and having parents born abroad. There were strong associations between being bullied and poor health and self-harm. Associations with poor general health for boys and girls and mental health problems for girls showed stronger associations with higher frequency of bullying than with lower. For boys, physical bullying had stronger correlations with poor general health than written-verbal bullying.
Bullying is a serious public health problem among young people and healthcare professionals have an important task in identifying exposed children. Children who are "different" are more exposed to bullying, which implies that school personnel, parents, and other adults in these children's social networks can play an important role in paying attention to and preventing the risk of bullying.
探讨欺凌行为的背景因素以及欺凌受害与健康问题之间的关联。
2011 年对瑞典某县 7 年级和 9 年级全体学生进行了一项横断面研究（n=5248）。采用双变量和多变量模型对数据进行分析。
14%的儿童报告称在过去 2 个月内曾遭受欺凌。欺凌的背景因素包括：性别（女生更常见）；年龄（年龄较小的学生更常见）；残疾/疾病；身体质量指数高，以及父母出生在国外。被欺凌与健康状况不佳和自残之间存在强烈关联。对于男生和女生而言，与欺凌频率较高相比，与较低的欺凌频率相关的一般健康状况较差和心理健康问题更为明显。对于男生，与书面言语欺凌相比，身体欺凌与一般健康状况较差的相关性更强。
欺凌是青少年中的一个严重公共卫生问题，医疗保健专业人员在识别受欺凌儿童方面承担着重要任务。“与众不同”的儿童更容易受到欺凌，这意味着学校人员、家长以及这些儿童社交网络中的其他成年人可以在关注和预防欺凌风险方面发挥重要作用。
