Prevalence of bullying/victimization behaviors among primary and middle school students and its relationship with breakfast consumption in Henan Province

Abstract

Objective To investigate the prevalence of bullying/victimization behaviors among primary and middle school students and its relationship with breakfast consumption in Henan Province, so as to provide evidence for promoting students’ physical and mental health. Methods By stratified sampling, 103 106 primary and middle school students from 793 primary and middle schools in 45 sample couties (cities and districts) Henan Province were investigated online with Bullying/Victimization Questionnaire and Breakfast Consumption Questionnaire during Feb. to Mar. in 2019. Results The prevalences of physical, verbal, relational, cyber bullying and victimization were 4.5%, 9.4%, 4.6%, 3.3% and 11.5%, 25.2%, 16.0%, 14.5%, respectively. There were significant differences in bullying/victimization behaviors among students with different gender, grade, school location, boarding status, academic performance and academic burden (χ 2 = 13.37-5 511.09, P <0.01). The proportion of irregular breakfast consumers was 15.4% and there were significant differences in breakfast consumption among students with different grade, boarding status, academic performance and academic burden (χ 2 =945.45, 21.96, 3 591.83, 3 208.41,尸<0.01). The percentage of irregular breakfast consumers among bullies/victims were higher than those who were not involved (χ 2 = 1 589.99-2 602.78, P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that physical bullying/victimization, relational bullying/victimization, cyber bullying/victimization and verbal victimization could positively predict irregular breakfast consumption ( OR = 1. 27, 1. 18, 1. 33, 1. 15, 1. 35, 1. 33 1.21, P <0.01). Conclusion Attention should be paid to the bullying/victimization behaviors of primary and middle school students in Henan Province. Getting involved in bullying/victimization was a risk factor for irregular breakfast consumption. 【摘要】 目的 了解河南省中小学生欺负/受欺负行为的发生状况及其与早餐食用的关联性, 为促进中小学生身心健康 发展提供参考依据。 方法 采用欺负/受欺负问卷和早餐食用问卷, 于2019年2—3月抽取河南省45个样本县 (市、区) 793所中小学样本校103 106名中小学生进行在线调查。 结果 河南省中小学生身体、言语、关系、网绺欺负行为的报告率 分别为4.5%, 9.4%, 4.6%, 3.3%; 受欺负行为的报告率为11.5%, 25.2%, 16.0%, 14.5%, 不同性别、学段、学校所在地、寄宿状 况、学业成绩、学业负担的学生之间欺负/受欺负行为报告率差异均有统计学意义(；χ 2 = 13.37~5 511.09, P 值均<0.01)。不 经常吃早餐的学生比例为15.4%, 不同学段、寄宿状况、学业成绩、学业负担的学生之间早餐食用频次差异均有统计意义 (χ 2 值分别为945.45,21.96,3 591.83,3 208.41, P 值均<0.01);欺负/受欺负者中不经常吃早餐的比例均高于未卷人者(χ 2 = 1 589.99~2 602.78, P 值均<0.01)。多因素Logistic回归分析显示, 身体欺负/受欺负、关系欺负/受欺负、网绺欺负/受欺负 和言语受欺负对不经常吃早餐均有正向预测作用 ( OR 值分别为1.27, 1.18, 1.33, 1.15, 1.35, 1.33, 1.21, P 值均<0.01)。 结论 河南省中小学生的欺负/受欺负行为应引起重视, 卷人欺负行为是导致中小学生不经常吃早餐的危险因素
