“…In this study, we found a significant association between suicide attempts and victimization. A systematic review showed that school bullying victims were 1.10 to 5.41 times more likely to show suicidal ideation and 2.45 to 2.76 times more likely to plan a suicide attempt as compared to non-bullied [33]. Another meta-analysis study, conducted with the reference of 47 studies, revealed that there is a positive association between bullying and suicidal behavior [34].…”

Background Bullying is an emerging risk factor for poor mental health outcomes adversely affecting children and adolescents. However, it has rarely caught the attention of the health and education sector due to lack of evidence in many countries including Nepal. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with bullying behavior among adolescent students in Nepal. Methods We used nationally representative data from the Nepal Global School-Based Student Health Survey that involved two-stage cluster sampling design with the use of a standard set of self-administered questionnaires. Complex sample analysis was done to determine the prevalence and correlates of bullying among 6529 students of 68 schools studying in grade 7 to 11 using descriptive analysis and multivariable logistic regression. Results The overall prevalence of bullying among Nepalese school adolescents was 51% (55.67% in male and 46.17% in female). Bullied adolescents more commonly reported mental health problems with higher risk of loneliness (

Background : Bullying is an emerging risk factor for poor mental health outcomes adversely affecting children and adolescents. However, it has rarely caught the attention of the health and education sector due to lack of evidence in many countries including Nepal. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and factors associated with bullying behavior among adolescent students in Nepal.Methods : We used nationally representative data from the Nepal Global School-Based Student Health Survey that involved two-stage cluster sampling design with the use of a standard set of self-administered questionnaires. Complex sample analysis was done to determine the prevalence and correlates of bullying among 6529 students of 68 schools studying in grade 7 to 11 using descriptive analysis and multivariable logistic regression.Results : The overall prevalence of bullying among Nepalese school adolescents was 51% (55.7% in male and 46.1% in female). Bullied adolescents more commonly reported mental health problems with higher risk of loneliness (aOR 1.39, 95% CI: 1.14, 1.69), anxiety (aOR 1.97, 95% CI: 1.57, 2.47), suicide attempt (aOR 1.99, 95% CI: 1.48, 2.67), school absenteeism due to fear (aOR 1.72, 95% CI: 1.36, 2.19) and school truancy (aOR 1.43, 95% CI: 1.14, 1.79). A significant association was seen between bullying victimization and negative health behaviors like involvement in physical fights (aOR 3.70, 95% CI: 3.00, 4.56) and tobacco use (aOR 1.99, 95% CI: 1.09, 3.61).Conclusion: School bullying is significantly associated with mental health factors like loneliness, anxiety, suicide attempt, school absenteeism and risky behavioral factors like smokeless tobacco use and involvement in physical fight. The insights provided by these findings have important implications for planning anti-bullying strategies in school settings in the Nepalese context.

“…U odnosu na ozbiljna psihopatološka ispoljavanja značajni su i rezultati meta-analize koja se bavila nasilništvom i rizikom za suicidalnu ideaciju i pokušaje suicida kod učenika osnovnih i srednjih škola iz zdrave populacije [7]. Analiza je obuhvatila 22 studije, u čije uzorke su bili uključeni deca i adolesenti bez drugih predispozicija za suicidalnost (kao što su psihijatrijski komorbiditet, zloupotreba supstanci i dr.).…”

“…Glavni nalazi su da žrtve tradicionalnih, klasičnih oblika nasilja imaju oko 2 puta veću verovatnoću da planiraju i/ili izvrše pokušaj suicida i 1,7 puta veću verovatnoću da izvrše pokušaj suicida koji zahteva ozbiljnije medicinsko zbrinjavanje. Pored ovoga, dobijeno je da nasilnici takođe imaju, blag, povećan rizik za suicidnu ideaciju [7].…”

“…U ranije navedenoj meta-analizi studija na zdravoj populaciji, dobijeno je da žrtve digitalnog nasilja imaju oko 3 puta veću verovatnoću da planiraju pokušaj suicida i/ili izvrše pokušaj suicida, kao i da je efekat izloženosti tradicionalnom i elektronskom nasilju kumulativan, u smislu povećavanja rizika za suicidalnu ideaciju i ponašanje [7].…”

Institut za mentalno zdravlje, Beograd Apstrakt: U radu je dat pregled novijih nalaza iz više velikih studija praćenja i metaanaliza vezanih za dugoročne posledice vršnjačkog nasilja po mentalno zdravlje. Izloženost vršnjačkom nasilju povezana je sa rizikom za razvoj različitih psihijatrijskih poremećaja, u prvom redu anksioznih i depresivnih, kao i sa javljanjem suicidalne ideacije i ponašanja, nezavisno od drugih faktora rizika, pri čemu najgore ishode za mentalno zdravlje imaju osobe koje spadaju u kategoriju žrtava/nasilnika. Pored ovoga, dat je pregled novijih podataka iz naše sredine o korišćenju digitalne tehnologije, rizicima i zastupljenosti digitalnog nasilja među decom. Korišćenje digitalnih tehnologija je uopšte široko rasprostranjeno među decom i mladima, a sa uzrastom raste učestalost korišćenja, pa tako i stepen izloženosti digitalnom nasilju-od trećine učenika u mlađim razredima osnovne škole do dve trećine učenika srednje škole. Nepovoljne posledice digitalnog vršnjačkog nasilja po mentalno zdravlje se mogu uporediti sa posledicama klasičnih, tradicionalnih oblika nasilja, a između ove dve kategorije vršnjačkog nasilja postoji značajan stepen preklapanja.
