Looking at the factors associated with bullying and visits to the school nurse, in the United States

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among perceived school climate, self-reported psychosomatic symptoms, visits to the school nurse for reported psychosomatic symptoms and reports of bullying behaviours among students' grades 3–12. In the study self-reported bullying behaviours were proposed to predict psychosomatic complaints at the school health office. Negatively perceived school climate was proposed to predict bullying behaviours. Lastly, the combination of bullying and negative school climate were proposed to predict psychosomatic complaints. Reports of bullying behaviours were found to significantly predict reports of psychosomatic complaints in school age children (Beta = 0.35, t = 5.5, P < 0.001). Bullying behaviours significantly predicted visits to the school health office for psychosomatic symptoms (Beta = .24, t = 3.7, P < 0.001). Negatively perceived school climate significantly predicted reports of bullying behaviours (Beta = 0.16, t = 2.3, P < 0.02). Negative perceived school climate significantly predicts reports of psychosomatic symptoms related to bullying (Beta = 0.35, t = 5.5, P < 0.001).
