To investigate the extent to which sexual orientation-based bullying relates to self-reported feelings of loneliness and sleeping difficulty among Brazilian middle school students.
This is a cross-sectional study using data from the 2015 PeNSE (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar), a survey designed to monitor the health of children and adolescents enrolled in the ninth grade in public and private Brazilian schools. Multiple linear regressions stratified by sex were used on a sample of 101,646 students, considering as reference students who had not experienced bullying, as well as students who had experienced other causes of bullying; a significance level of p<0.05 was accepted.
When the reference group was composed of students who had not experienced bullying, the associations between sexual orientation-based bullying and feelings of loneliness and between sexual orientation-based bullying and sleeping difficulty were positive (p<0.05) for both male and female students, with magnitudes about twice as large as those found among those who reported having experienced other cause s of bullying. However, when the reference group was composed of students who had experienced other causes of bullying, only the association between sexual orientation-based bullying and feelings of loneliness was positive (p<0.05) for both male and female students.
This study highlights that sexual orientation-based bullying is a predictor of feelings of loneliness.
调查性取向相关欺凌与巴西中学生自述的孤独感和睡眠困难之间的关联程度。
这是一项横断面研究，使用了 2015 年 PeNSE（巴西学校学生健康全国调查）的数据，该调查旨在监测公立和私立巴西学校九年级学生的健康状况。对 101646 名学生的样本进行了性别分层的多元线性回归分析，将未经历欺凌的学生和经历过其他原因欺凌的学生作为参考；接受 p<0.05 的显著性水平。
当参考组由未经历欺凌的学生组成时，性取向相关欺凌与孤独感之间以及性取向相关欺凌与睡眠困难之间的关联在男女学生中均为正相关（p<0.05），其程度是经历过其他原因欺凌的学生的两倍左右。然而，当参考组由经历过其他原因欺凌的学生组成时，性取向相关欺凌与孤独感之间的关联仅在男女学生中为正相关（p<0.05）。
本研究强调了性取向相关欺凌是孤独感的一个预测因素。
