Objectives: This 2-month cohort study aimed to investigate the changing prevalence and factors associated with COVID-19-related workplace bullying among the general workers in Japan. Methods: A baseline survey was conducted of 4,120 full-time workers at Time 1 (March 2020) and they were invited to a follow-up survey at Time 2 (May 2020) after the outbreak of COVID-19 in Japan. The prevalence of COVID-19-related workplace bullying was compared between Time 1 and Time 2 by using McNemar's test. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the associations between occupation (health care and non-health care workers), socioeconomic status, living in areas under the national emergency announcement, workplace measures against COVID-19, occupational class, chronic physical comorbidities, chronic mental comorbidities, and COVID-19-related workplace bullying at Time 2, adjusting for that at Time 1. Results: A total of 1,421 responded to the survey at Time 2. Data from 996 respondents after excluding 36 who retired during the follow-up were analyzed. The prevalence of COVID-19-related workplace bullying increased more than double from Time 1 (2.8%) to Time 2 (6.5%). Being a manual worker (OR = 3.80), having higher education (OR = 2.37), and having chronic physical comorbidity (OR = 2.11) was significantly associated with the COVID-19-related workplace bullying at Time 2. Conclusions: COVID-19-related workplace bullying increased during the outbreak of COVID-19 in Japan. A lower-class occupation (manual workers) and having chronic physical comorbidity may be associated with greater victimization of COVID-19-related workplace bullying, while those with high educational attainment may be more sensitive to it.

“…No solo ha sido un instrumento indispensable para el proceso de aprendizaje y enseñanza, sino que también ha supuesto una oportunidad para la interacción social y la comunicación. Sin embargo, algunos autores habían predicho que el incremento en el número de horas dedicado a los medios digitales y el posible abuso de las redes sociales durante el confinamiento podrían tener consecuencias negativas en los adolescentes como un incremento en la cibervictimización, especialmente en las víctimas de bullying (Guessoum et al, 2020;Yahya, Khawaja, y Chukwuma, 2020). Además, un reciente estudio muestra que existe una correlación entre el número de horas dedicadas a las redes sociales por los adolescentes y los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión (Barry, Sidoti, Briggs, Reiter y Lindsey, 2017).…”

“…El estrés y la tensión que genera esta situación afecta a la educación incrementando el miedo a ir a la escuela, el bajo compromiso y participación en las actividades escolares, las dificultades para concentrarse en la clase y el bajo rendimiento en las materias (Fry et al, 2018;Singham et al, 2017;Silberg & Kendler, 2017). Además, el acoso escolar está asociado a la intimidación, la baja autoestima, el comportamiento autolesivo y el suicidio (Yahya, Khawaja y Chukwuma, 2020, Tang et al, 2020. En concreto, los síntomas de ansiedad se encuentran en el 67,2% de las víctimas; la depresión y el miedo en el 68,8% y 58,6%, respectivamente; el número de autolesiones en el 2,4% (Ballesteros et al, 2017); las ideas suicidas en el 16,5%; la planificación del suicidio en el 16,5%; y los intentos de suicidio en el 16,4%.…”

“…Los resultados indican que haber tenido experiencias de bullying, como víctima o como agresor, y pasar un número elevado de horas en Internet son factores de riesgo para el ciberbullying (Marín-Cortés, Hoyos y Sierra, 2019). Durante la pandemia la mayoría de los adolescentes han pasado una gran parte de su tiempo navegando por Internet (Király et al, 2020;Yahya, Khawaja y Chukwuma, 2020), por lo que el número de casos de ciberbullying puede haberse acentuado.…”

Los factores estresantes asociados a la pandemia por el COVID 19 han tenido importantes consecuencias en la salud mental de muchos adolescentes, sin embargo, es posible que este confinamiento junto con los medios digitales disponibles para el aprendizaje y la interacción social hayan supuesto un alivio para aquellos que eran víctimas de bullying. En esta investigación se comparan las puntuaciones que han obtenido 276 adolescentes (94 víctimas de bullying y 182 no víctimas) de entre 12 y 14 años, en ansiedad, depresión, rendimiento académico y ciberbullying antes y después del confinamiento. Antes del confinamiento las víctimas obtuvieron puntuaciones significativamente mayores en ansiedad, depresión y ciberbullying y menores en rendimiento académico. Durante el confinamiento las diferencias en ansiedad se invirtieron, siendo significativamente menores en el caso de las víctimas de bullying, quienes, además, obtuvieron puntuaciones significativamente menores en depresión y en ciberbullying que antes de la pandemia. Sin embargo, el rendimiento académico descendió significativamente en el grupo no-víctimas mientras que no se apreciaron cambios significativos en las puntuaciones de ciberbullying. The stressors associated with the pandemic by COVID 19 have had important consequences on the mental health of many adolescents, however, it is possible that this confinement along with the digital media available for learning and social interaction have provided relief for those who were victims of bullying.. This research compares the scores obtained by 76 adolescents (94 victims of bullying and 182 not victims) between 12 and 14 years old, in anxiety, depression, academic performance and cyberbullying before and after confinement. Before confinement, the victims obtained significantly higher scores in anxiety, depression and cyberbullying and lower scores in academic performance. During confinement, the differences in anxiety were reversed, being significantly lower in the case of victims of bullying, who also obtained significantly lower scores in depression and cyberbullying than before confinement. However, academic performance decreased significantly in the non-victim group, while no significant changes in cyberbullying scores were observed.
