“…Bullying can be seen everywhere, in any environment, at any age, and at any time; it is an increasingly serious problem that can affect every individual, regardless of its sociocultural structure (Hong et al, 2019). The prevalence of bullying worldwide varies between 8% and 70% (Menesini & Salmivalli, 2017).…”

“…The prevalence of bullying worldwide varies between 8% and 70% (Menesini & Salmivalli, 2017). Bullying in schools negatively affects the child physically, mentally, and socially, and these negative effects continue throughout the child's entire life (Evgin & Bayat, 2020; Hong et al, 2019). The family environment is one of the most important factors that ensure that a child develops into a healthy, happy, and independent individual (Totan & Yöndem, 2007; Yavuzer, 2004).…”

This descriptive study determined the relationship of peer bullying in the early adolescent period to family functions and children's behavior. The cohort for the research consisted of 320 students and parents who were selected by a simple random method from a middle school. The data were collected using the student and parent questionnaires, Traditional Peer Bullying Scale, Family Assessment Scale, and Assessment of Child and Adolescent Behavior Scale. In evaluating the data: descriptive statistics, Χ 2, Mann–Whitney U, Kruskal–Wallis tests, and Spearman correlation analysis were used. It has been determined that verbal and physical bullying was high in the older age group (p < 0.05), in seventh‐grade students (p < 0.05), and that those who do not like school tend to bully others at a higher rate (p < 0.001). Students who were separated from their parents, who witnessed the violence among the family members, and who stated that the violence was applied by family members were more frequent in the bullying cycle (p < 0.05). There was a high‐level positive relationship between the anxiety/depression subscale and social problems subscale (p < 0.001). This study confirms that peer bullying is a problem that is highly correlated with family functionalities and child behaviors.

“…There is substantial covariation between bullying, victimization, a range of mental and physical health problems, and eating and weight concerns (Copeland et al, 2015; Hong, Espelage, & Rose, 2019; Wolke, Copeland, Angold, & Costello, 2013). General bullying intervention program evaluations (e.g., interventions that focus on reducing all forms of bullying and aggression, rather than focusing on weight stigma and/or eating disorders, more specifically) tend not to measure weight or appearance-related teasing and eating behaviors as outcomes of their intervention efforts.…”

Emotional eating, defined as eating in response to affect, may increase during early adolescence, a time of heightened emotionality and increased prevalence of emotional disorders. We investigated change in emotional eating, while also testing the influence of social–emotional risk factors. Study participants ( N = 379, mean age [ Mage] = 12.0 years; 56% girls) completed measures of emotional eating twice over 1 year and reported on social adversity within peer and parent contexts (i.e., appearance teasing by peers and parents, and peer rejection) and depression and social anxiety symptoms. Relational victimization and peer rejection, measured via classmate-reports, were also examined as correlates of emotional eating. Emotional eating increased, on average, for Grade 6 and 7 students, marginally increased in Grade 5 students, and increased in boys and girls. In a multivariate prospective model, appearance teasing by parents and social anxiety symptoms were prospectively associated with a higher level of emotional eating 1 year later.

Depressive symptoms among orphans and vulnerable adolescents in childcare homes in Nepal: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Orphans and vulnerable adolescents (OVAs) living in child care homes (CCHs) are vulnerable to depressive symptoms due to a poor environment and a lack of receiving good care and love from their parents. This study aimed to estimate the presence of depressive symptoms and determine factors associated with it among OVAs living in CCHs in Nepal. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect the information from OVAs aged 13–17 years living in 22 CCHs from five districts of Nepal. The CCHs were selected by a simple random method. A validated questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) were used to assess depressive symptoms among the participants. Those with mild to severe BDI-II scores were defined as having clinically relevant depressive symptoms. Logistic regression was used to detect associations between variables at the significance level α = 0.05. Results A total of 602 adolescents participated in the study; 51.0% were females, the average age was 14.7 years, and 32.2% were members of indigenous groups. The overall presence of clinically relevant depressive symptoms was 33.2%. After controlling for all potential confounding factors, five factors were found to be associated with depress among OVAs. Females were 1.96 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms than males (95% CI = 1.36–2.83). Those adolescents who used alcohol were 3.42 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms than those who did not (95% CI = 1.16–10.12). Those who had health problems were 2.00 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms than those who did not (95% CI = 1.36–2.94). Those who had low social support were 1.81 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms than those who had high social support (95% CI = 1.08–3.03), and those who had been bullied were 1.97 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms than those who were not bullied (95% CI = 1.23–3.15). Conclusion The magnitude of clinically relevant depressive symptoms in adolescents living in CCHs was found to be high in Nepal. There is an urgent need for effective intervention to curtail this problem among OVAs in CCHs in Nepal, with a focus on females, alcohol users, those with physical health problems and with less social support, and those who are bullied.
