Violence in the work or school environment is becoming a public health problem. Bullying in this scenario is characterized by a set of aggressive, repetitive, intentional behaviors which occur without evident motivation and affects countless young people daily.
This study aimed to verify the incidence of bullying cases of elementary and high school students during the COVID-19 pandemic, describing the reasons for this victimization from an emic view; in addition, to compare associated factors such as nutritional status and body image between victims and non-victims of bullying.
This is a non-probabilistic descriptive design involving 115 students regularly enrolled in elementary and high school in public schools in the city of Dourados-MS, Brazil.
The results indicated an incidence of 20.9% of victims, with verbal aggression (swearing, nicknames, gossip) and social exclusion being the most recurrent. A total of 78.2% of the victim students did not suffer bullying during social distancing, and 87.3% felt safer in their homes. The rate of overweight and obesity was similar between victims and non-victims, similar to the body perception result.
This study indicated that social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic was a protective barrier in school bullying actions.
工作或学校环境中的暴力行为正成为一个公共卫生问题。在这种情况下，欺凌的特征是一组具有攻击性、重复性、有意的行为，这些行为没有明显的动机，每天都在影响无数的年轻人。
本研究旨在验证 COVID-19 大流行期间中小学生欺凌案件的发生率，从本土视角描述这种受害的原因；此外，还比较了受害者和非受害者之间与欺凌有关的因素，如营养状况和身体形象。
这是一项非概率描述性设计，涉及巴西马托格罗索州杜拉多斯市公立学校的 115 名中小学生。
结果表明，受害者的发生率为 20.9%，其中言语攻击（咒骂、绰号、八卦）和社会排斥最为常见。共有 78.2%的受害学生在社交距离期间没有遭受欺凌，87.3%的学生在家里感到更安全。受害者和非受害者的超重和肥胖率相似，身体感知结果也相似。
本研究表明，COVID-19 大流行期间的社交距离是学校欺凌行为的一个保护屏障。
