Youth bullying is a critical public health problem, with those exposed to bullying at risk for development of serious sequelae lasting into adulthood. The purpose of this study was to explore youths' perceptions regarding the role that advanced practice nurses and physicians play in addressing bullying.
A qualitative descriptive approach was used; focus groups were used to generate study data. Twenty-four adolescents participated in focus groups centered on exploring health care providers' roles in addressing bullying.
Three themes emerged through qualitative analysis: (a) Not sure that's part of their job, (b) That's way too personal, and (c) They couldn't help anyway. Participants described a very limited role for health care providers in addressing bullying.
Youths recognized a narrow role for health care providers in addressing bullying, characterizing bullying as a school- or-community-related issue rather than one influencing health.
青少年欺凌是一个严重的公共卫生问题,遭受欺凌的青少年有发展为持续至成年期的严重后遗症的风险。本研究的目的是探讨青少年对高级执业护士和医生在解决欺凌问题中所起作用的看法。
采用定性描述性方法;焦点小组用于生成研究数据。24名青少年参加了以探讨医疗保健提供者在解决欺凌问题中的作用为中心的焦点小组。
通过定性分析出现了三个主题:(a)不确定这是他们工作的一部分,(b)这太私人化了,(c)他们反正也帮不上忙。参与者描述了医疗保健提供者在解决欺凌问题中作用非常有限。
青少年认识到医疗保健提供者在解决欺凌问题中的作用有限,将欺凌描述为与学校或社区相关的问题,而不是影响健康的问题。
