“…Bullying or mobbing is associated with early awakenings and lack of resting during sleep, as shown by longitudinal WBH and PRISME studies [ 58 ]. In fact, bullying and unwanted sexual attention is prospectively associated with long-term sickness absence, and this association is partially mediated by poor sleep [ 59 ].…”

“…Psychological and psychosomatic reactions become more prominent and severe with persistent exposure. Illustrating these reactions, research shows that prolonged bullying is associated with subsequent reports of anxiety (8,15), depression (8,16), suicidal ideation (17,18), headache (19), and sleep problems (20)(21)(22). In a meta-analysis it was found that exposure to bullying predicted subsequent mental health complaints [odds ratio (OR) 1.68, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.35-2.09] and somatic complaints (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.41-2.22) after adjusting for baseline health status (9).…”

Workplace bullying and sickness absence: a systematic review and meta-analysis of the research literature by Nielsen MB, Indregard AMR, Øverland S This review found that exposure to workplace bullying is a risk factor for later sickness absence. There is a shortage of studies on the moderators and mediators that can explain the relationship between bullying and absence. None of the identified studies examined if or how sickness absence increases the risk of later exposure to workplace bullying. Affiliation 359Review Scand J Work Environ Health. 2016;42(5):359-370. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3579 Workplace bullying and sickness absence: a systematic review and metaanalysis of the research literature Objective The association between workplace bullying and sickness absence remains unclear. This paper presents a systematic review and meta-analysis of research on the association. MethodWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of published primary studies on workplace bullying and sickness absence. Studies based on prospective design or registry data on sickness absence were included. Cross-sectional studies with self-reported sickness absence were excluded.Results Seventeen primary studies were included in the review, sixteen originated from the Nordic countries and fifteen included registry data on sickness absence. All but one study found that exposure to workplace bullying was associated with increased risk of sickness absence. A meta-analysis of ten independent studies showed that exposure to bullying increased the risk of sickness absence (odds ratio 1.58, 95% CI 1.39-1.79). Five studies included variables that moderated the association between bullying and absenteeism. None of the studies included mediating variables. No studies examined sickness absence as a risk factor for later exposure to bullying. Following the GRADE guidelines, the evidence for an association between bullying and sickness absence is moderate.Conclusions Workplace bullying is a risk factor for sickness absence, but the mechanisms to explain this relationship are not sufficiently described. It is unclear whether sickness absence predicts later exposure to bullying. While, the methodological quality of the reviewed studies was high, the knowledge base is small. There is a need for more research on how and when bullying is related to sickness absence and the possible bidirectional relationships involved.

“…The choice of distribution was determined by searching for the model that fitted the data best in terms of log-likelihood. The selection of possible confounding factors was based on previous publications and a priori reasoning[ 12 , 16 , 19 , 21 , 29 - 31 ]. In order to produce better confidence limits[ 28 ], we bootstrapped the CI estimates with 10000 replacements and a variance adjustment of 1.…”

“…Bullying may have considerable impact on the health and well-being for those being affected, including a higher risk of anxiety[ 7 - 9 ], depression[ 8 , 9 ], suicidal ideation[ 9 , 10 ], headache[ 9 , 11 ], and sleep problems[ 9 , 12 , 13 ]. In a meta-analysis it was found that exposure to bullying predicted subsequent increase in mental health complaints (OR = 1.68; 95%CI: 1.35-2.09) and somatic complaints (OR = 1.77; 95%CI: 1.41-2.22) after adjusting for baseline health status[ 14 ].…”

AIMTo examine associated factors of bullying and to determine associations between bullying and psychosocial outcomes among individuals with visual impairments (VI).METHODSWe conducted an age-stratified cross-sectional survey of adults with VI who were recruited from the Norwegian Association of the Blind and Partially Sighted. Data were collected through structural telephone interviews in the period between February and May, 2017. Linear regression models were used to examine factors related to bullying and associations of bullying with self-efficacy and life satisfaction.RESULTSA total of 736 individuals were interviewed. The lifetime and 6-mo prevalence of bullying was 41.7% and 8.2%, respectively. The majority of bullied participants reported VI-specific bullying (65.1%). Victimization of bullying was associated with young age, early onset-age of VI, and having other impairments. Participants who reported bullying had lower levels of self-efficacy [Adjusted relative risk (ARR): 0.40, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.19-0.85] and life satisfaction (ARR: 0.68, 95%CI: 0.51-0.91).CONCLUSIONBullying is highly prevalent among individuals with VI. Our findings suggest that interventions to reduce bullying may be beneficial for improving the well-being and life quality of people with VI.
