“…The physical bullying measure was conceived by Olweus who reported high internal consistency reliabilities at the classroom level (0.80-0.90) during developmental analyses (Olweus 1992). A composite measure of physical violence, defined as engagement in at least two episodes of physical fighting in the previous 12 months and/or reporting the perpetration of at least 2-3 episodes per month of physical bullying, comprised the primary outcome for this study (Pickett et al 2009). …”

“…Since 1991, FYR Macedonia has dealt with challenges of post communist political and economic transition and has seen political unrest, high levels of unemployment and interethnic violence in the lifetimes of the adolescents in this study [35] before entering into the European Union in 2005. While the USA and Canada show many similar values, violent crime and juvenile incarceration rates are notably higher in the USA [36] with high prevalence rates of adolescents carrying guns [37]. Yet, the United States has improved in the prevalence of bullying problems, perhaps connected to a national bullying prevention campaign launched by the U.S. government [38].…”

Then aims of the current study were 1) to provide cross-national estimates of the prevalence of physical fighting and weapon carrying among adolescents aged 11–15 years; (2) To examine the possible effects of physical fighting and weapon carrying on the occurrence of physical (medically treated injuries) and emotional health outcomes (multiple health complaints) among adolescents within the theoretical framework of Problem Behaviour Theory. 20,125 adolescents aged 11–15 in five countries (Belgium, Israel, USA, Canada, FYR Macedonia) were surveyed via the 2006 Health Behaviour in School Aged Children survey. Prevalence was calculated for physical fighting and weapon carrying along with physical and emotional measures that potentially result from violence. Regression analyses were used to quantify associations between violence/weapon carrying and the potential health consequences within each country. Large variations in fighting and weapon carrying were observed across countries. Boys reported more frequent episodes of fighting/weapon carrying and medically attended injuries in every country, while girls reported more emotional symptoms. Although there were some notable variations in findings between different participating countries, increased weapon carrying and physical fighting were both independently and consistently associated with more frequent reports of the potential health outcomes. Adolescents engaging in fighting and weapon carrying are also at risk for physical and emotional health outcomes. Involvement in fighting and weapon carrying can be seen as part of a constellation of risk behaviours with obvious health implications. Our findings also highlight the importance of the cultural context when examining the nature of violent behaviour for adolescents.

“…With regard to human responses, nurses need to embrace the complexity of the patients' conditions in order to become competent diagnosticians (NANDA-I, 2012). It is a nursing responsibility to accurately identify the appropriate nursing diagnosis for each patient's condition, in which a combination of physical, emotional, and developmental issues is well anticipated (Ahern, Ark, & Byers, 2008;Earvolino-Ramirez, 2007;Gillespie, Chaboyer, & Wallis, 2007;Pickett, Ianotti, Simon-Morton, & Dostaler, 2009).…”
