We describe the frequency and variations in bullying among a representative national sample of school-age children and examine whether sociodemographic characteristics are associated with bullying.
This study is based on a cross-sectional school-based survey-the Icelandic contribution to the international research network Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC). The study population included all students in Iceland in grades 6, 8 and 10 (mean ages: 11, 13 and 15years, respectively) (participation rate: 84%; n=11,018). The students completed an anonymous standardized questionnaire administered in the classroom.
The self-reported frequency of being victimized by bullying at least 2-3 times every month was 5.5%. A younger age, speaking a foreign language at home, not living with one's parents, and living in a rural area, were all associated with higher frequencies of being bullied.
Despite efforts to reduce bullying in school, experiences of being victimized through bullying are still too common among Icelandic school-age children. Stakeholders and school health administrators should consider sociodemographic antecedents when planning interventions to reduce bullying at school.
我们描述了全国具有代表性的学龄儿童样本中欺凌行为的频率和差异,并研究社会人口统计学特征是否与欺凌行为相关。
本研究基于一项以学校为基础的横断面调查——冰岛对国际研究网络“学龄儿童健康行为”(HBSC)的贡献。研究人群包括冰岛所有六年级、八年级和十年级的学生(平均年龄分别为11岁、13岁和15岁)(参与率:84%;n = 11,018)。学生们在课堂上完成了一份匿名标准化问卷。
每月至少遭受2 - 3次欺凌的自我报告频率为5.5%。年龄较小、在家说外语、不与父母同住以及生活在农村地区,都与更高的受欺凌频率相关。
尽管学校努力减少欺凌行为,但在冰岛学龄儿童中,因欺凌而遭受伤害的经历仍然很常见。利益相关者和学校卫生管理人员在规划减少学校欺凌行为的干预措施时,应考虑社会人口统计学因素。
