“…These results are similar to those obtained in recent studies in which differences in HRQoL by role were assessed [27,54,55]. When single roles were evaluated, those adolescents who suffer bullying victimization exhibited poorer HRQoL than aggressors [54]. However, based on our results, being involved in both aggression and victimization entails the worst results for HRQoL, similar to previous studies [54,55].…”

However, based on our results, being involved in both aggression and victimization entails the worst results for HRQoL, similar to previous studies [54,55]. It has been suggested that aggressive victims are at high risk of health and quality of life disruption due to their deep involvement in bullying behavior in schools [55].…”

Bullying has been traditionally related to a significant reduction in well-being and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of adolescents. This negative impact on HRQoL seems to be modulated by the developed role in bullying (uninvolved, bully, victim or bully-victim). However, no studies have identified if these negative results are the same when other types of bullying, such as homophobic bullying, are evaluated. The main aim of the present study was to analyze the prevalence of different roles of bullying and homophobic bullying and the relationship between these roles in both types of bullying with HRQoL, depression and anxiety levels in a sample of 1723 Spanish adolescents. Although results exhibited lower prevalence of homophobic bullying roles when compared to traditionally bullying in general, in the case of victims, the prevalence was high in the case of homophobic bullying. When differences between roles in HRQoL, depression and anxiety were evaluated, in both types of bullying, uninvolved adolescents showed the best results and bully-victim adolescents the worst. The obtained results suppose an improvement in the understanding of the negative effects of different types of bullying on HRQoL and mental health in adolescents. Future research could advance in this comprehension, analyzing possible differences with other types of bullying, such as cyberbullying.

“…Bullying is a major social concern that extends beyond the academic and personal levels, severely influencing adolescent HRQoL and, in most cases, causing irreversible harm [ 17 ]. A systematic review has explored bullying prevalence or its health impacts, but not HRQoL [ 18 ].…”

“…A systematic review has explored bullying prevalence or its health impacts, but not HRQoL [ 18 ]. Several cross-sectional studies have showed a link between bullying and HRQoL [ 1 , 7 , 11 , 17 , 19 ]; however, there are no systematic reviews that focus on bullying and its relationship with HRQoL among adolescents, to our knowledge. Taking this into account, it was important to conduct a systematic review of the literature that highlights the association of bullying with the health-related quality of adolescents’ lives.…”

Health-related quality of life is among global health goals not only in adulthood but also in childhood and adolescence. Being a multi-component construct, health-related quality of life covers various domains, such as physical and psychological wellbeing and social and environmental areas. Bullying might significantly influence those domains especially in adolescence, a period of life when numerous personal and interpersonal transformations are experienced. Therefore, the aim of the current systematic review was to provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship of bullying with the health-related quality of adolescents’ lives. An electronic literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, and 3621 full-text articles were identified. After a selection process, 12 studies covering diagnosis, prevention and treatment for each of the three sections “adolescents”, “health related quality of life” and “bullying” were reviewed. An overall reduction in health-related quality of life in regard to bullying appeared from the studies analyzed, as well as a decline in adolescent mental health. Different bullying types were identified as causing harm to various adolescents‘ health-related quality of life domains. These findings may contribute to effective bullying management in schools and/or societal settings, and inform intervention strategies for maintaining the quality of life of adolescents being bullied.
