Bullying is a serious public health concern remarkably common among youth. Involvement in bullying can lead to deleterious effect on the emotional well-being of pupils. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of bullying, its psychosocial associated factors and the perceived involvement of parents, teachers, and classmates to counteract this behavior.
A cross-sectional study.
We conducted this study in 2015 among a representative multistage sample of 1584 students enrolled in middle schools in the Region of Sousse using the revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire. It assesses the prevalence of bullying and covers qualitative details of bullying including psychosocial factors and perceived efforts of others to counteract bullying.
11.7% of respondents were classified as pure victims, 7.8% as pure bullies, 3.2% as bully-victims and 75.5% as bystanders. Compared to other groups, the bully-victims were less likely to report a feeling of empathy and liking school. They were more likely to be afraid of being bullied, aggressive and to have fewer friends in the class. Only 30.3% of the victims indicated that they told someone about being bullied. The majority of the middle school students perceived that classmates (54.1%) and teachers (39.5%) did nothing to counteract bullying.
Information about bullying is critical and must be gathered before effective intervention is planned. Parents, teachers and students should learn effective ways to handle the bullying problem since the most effective programs are comprehensive targeting students, schools, families and the community.
欺凌是一个严重的公共卫生问题,在青少年中极为常见。参与欺凌会对学生的情绪健康产生有害影响。本研究的目的是评估欺凌的发生率、其心理社会相关因素以及家长、教师和同学为抵制这种行为所察觉到的参与情况。
一项横断面研究。
2015年,我们在苏塞地区中学的1584名学生的代表性多阶段样本中进行了这项研究,使用修订后的奥维斯欺凌/受欺负问卷。该问卷评估欺凌的发生率,并涵盖欺凌的定性细节,包括心理社会因素以及他人为抵制欺凌所做的努力。
11.7%的受访者被归类为纯粹的受害者,7.8%为纯粹的欺凌者,3.2%为欺凌 - 受害者,75.5%为旁观者。与其他群体相比,欺凌 - 受害者报告有同理心和喜欢上学的可能性较小。他们更有可能害怕被欺凌、具有攻击性且在班级中的朋友较少。只有30.3%的受害者表示他们告诉过别人自己被欺凌。大多数中学生认为同学(54.1%)和教师(39.5%)没有采取任何措施来抵制欺凌。
在计划进行有效干预之前,收集有关欺凌的信息至关重要。家长、教师和学生应学习有效方法来处理欺凌问题,因为最有效的项目是针对学生、学校、家庭和社区的综合性项目。
