Abstract
Background and Objectives Bullying is a form of aggression that has detrimental effects on the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of youths. The study sought to investigate the impact of school-based anti-bullying initiatives on mitigating violence among high school students in Indonesia. Patient and Methods This study employed a quasi-experimental design, including a pretest and post-test, with a non-equivalent control group. This study included a total of 160 high school students. Results The findings indicated that school-based anti-bullying interventions had a substantial impact on the attitudes and behaviors of the experimental group, who received the program, in comparison to the control group, who received the standard care provided by the school. Nevertheless, there was no notable disparity in students’ understanding of anti-bullying between the experimental group and the control group both before and during the implementation of the school-based anti-bullying program. Conclusion Ultimately, school-based anti-bullying initiatives have proven to be efficacious and have the potential to be widely deployed as a means of curbing violence within educational environments. Additional research is required to carry out randomized control trials in order to ascertain the efficacy of the program in different educational institutions.
