충청지역 ‘정신건강 전문가 학교방문지원사업’에 참여한 초등학생 중 학교폭력 경험군의 임상적 특성

Abstract

Objectives: This study examined the characteristics of elementary school students who were referred to the Professional school visits outreach project in 2017 and 2018 and analyzed the emotional and behavioral characteristics of the students who experienced school violence. Methods: 160 elementary students were included in the analysis and the participant’s parents were asked to complete the Child Behavior Checklist 6-18. To obtain general information and experience of bullying, a semi-structured interview with the student, parents and the teacher was conducted. Results: The participants had a high proportion of vulnerable groups, and the main presumptive diagnoses were ADHD and depression, which were similar to those of the clinical group. Experiences of child abuse increased the risk of experiencing bullying (OR=2.16, p,0.5). The median scores of rule-breaking (p=.03) and aggressive behaviors (p=.01), externalization (p=.01) and conduct problems (p<.01) were significantly different among bullying participant roles. Bullies exhibited the most serious emotional behavior problems. Conclusion: The group with experience of school violence had more social immaturity and behavior problems, and less social and adaptability than the group without experience. Bullies had severe rule-breaking, aggression, externalization, and behavior problems, and showed the most problems in emotional behavior, and victims showed a tendency to have poor social and adaptation skills.
