ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Descrever a prevalência de vítimas de bullying, suas características e os sintomas associados nas áreas emocionais, de conduta, hiperatividade e relacionamento. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo transversal aninhado a uma coorte que avalia transtornos de leitura, escrita e aritmética em 1.075 alunos, da 1ª à 8ª série, de duas escolas públicas de ensino fundamental de um bairro de classe média baixa de Pelotas (RS). Foi utilizado o questionário KIDSCAPE para avaliar a prevalência de bullying e o Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire para avaliar características comportamentais das vítimas. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de bullying foi de 17,6 por cento. O tipo de intimidação mais prevalente foi o verbal, seguido do físico, emocional, racial e sexual. Após o ajuste para os fatores de confusão, o bullying se manteve associado com sexo masculino (RP 1,49 IC95 por cento 1,14-1,96), com hiperatividade (RP 1,89 IC95 por cento 1,25-2,87) e problemas de relacionamento com os colegas (RP 1,85 IC95 por cento 1,24-2,76). Entre as vítimas, 47,1 por cento também provocavam bullying. CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo identificou as características comportamentais das vítimas de bullying que podem ser úteis para políticas locais de proteção aos alvos de bullying.


OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence of bullying victims, the characteristics of those victims and their associated symptoms in the domains of emotion, behavior, hyperactivity and peer relationships. METHOD: This was a cross-sectional study nested in a cohort that assesses disorders of reading, writing and arithmetic in 1,075 students enrolled in the first to eighth grades of two public schools in a lower-middle-class neighborhood of the city of Pelotas, RS, Brazil. The KIDSCAPE questionnaire was used to evaluate the prevalence of bullying and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was used to assess victims’ behavioral characteristics. RESULTS: The prevalence of bullying was 17.6 percent. The most prevalent type of intimidation was verbal, followed by physical, emotional, racial and sexual. After adjustment for confounding factors, bullying was still associated with male sex (PR 1.49 95 percentCI 1.14-1.96), hyperactivity (PR 1.89 95 percentCI 1.25-2.87) and peer relationship problems (PR 1.85 95 percentCI 1.24-2.76). Among the victims of bullying, 47.1 percent had also initiated bullying. CONCLUSION: This study has identified the behavioral characteristics of bullying victims which may prove useful for local policies designed to protect the targets of bullying.
