Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the levels and determinants of bullying in students receiving education at Secondary Stage Primary Education Schools in Salihli District of Manisa.

Methods: The population of this cross-sectional study consisted of 5., 6., 7., 8. grade secondary school students receiving education in the school year of 2012-2013 in Salihli district of Manisa (n=5671). The sample size was calculated as 720 at a prevalence of 50% and a significance level of 0.05 by taking the pattern effect as 2. Three forms were used in collecting the study data; Sociodemographic questionnaire form, peer victimization identification scale and Rosenberg Self Respect Scale. Chi-square statistical analysis and logistic regression analysis was used of data analysis.

Results: 57.1% of the study group were aged 13 and older. The age distribution was 12.8 ± 1.2 (10-22). 50.6% were girls (n=487). In the study, it was determined that the variables determining victims/persecutors included the gender, social status, life quality perception and self respect. Persecutor/victim behavours were observed at a higher rate in male students compared to female students, students with a lower social status compared to students with a higher social status, those perceiving the life quality as bad compared to those perceiving it as good, and students with a low and moderate self respect compared to students with a high self respect.

Conclusion: Peer victimization is a common public health problem for Manisa/Salihli. In order to struggle with this problem, it is required to develop intervention programs comprising the entire school, family and society in accordance with the Turkish culture.

Keywords: Bullying, persecutor, victim, adolescent

ÖZET

Amaç: Akran zorbalığı, okul ortamında sık görülen ve önlem alınmazsa ciddi fiziksel ve ruhsal travmalara neden olabilen önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Çalışmanın amacı, Manisa İli Salihli İlçesi Merkezindeki İlköğretim İkinci Kademe öğrencilerinde akran zorbalığı düzeylerinin ve belirleyicilerinin saptanmasıdır.

Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki bu araştırmanın evrenini Manisa İli Salihli İlçe merkezinde bulunan 2012-2013 yılında eğitim- öğretim gören orta öğretim 5,, 6,, 7,, 8. Sınıf öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır (n=5671). Örnek büyüklüğü desen etkisi 2 alınarak, %50 prevalans ve 0,05 yanılgı düzeyinde 720 olarak hesaplandı. Çalışma verilerinin toplanmasında üç form kullanıldı; Sosyodemografik anket formu, Akran zorbalığı belirleme ölçeği ve Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği. Verilerin analizinde ilk aşamada ki-kare istatistik analizi kullanıldı. Ki-kare analizlerinde fark çıkan değişkenler lojistik regresyon analizi ile değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Araştırma grubunun %57,1’i 13 yaş ve üzerindedir. Yaş dağılımı 12,8 ± 1,2 (10-22). %50,6’sı kızdır (n=487). Çalışmada kurban/zorba olmayı belirleyen değişkenlerin cinsiyet, sosyal statü, yaşam kalitesi algısı ve benlik saygısı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Erkek öğrenciler kız öğrencilere göre, alt sosyal statüdeki öğrenciler üst sosyal statüye göre, yaşam kalitesini kötü olarak algılayanlar iyi olarak algılayanlara göre ve benlik saygıları düşük ve orta olanlar benlik saygıları yüksek olan öğrencilere göre daha fazla zorba/kurban davranışlarında bulunmaktadırlar.

Sonuç: Akran zorbalığı Manisa/Salihli için yaygın bir halk sağlığı problemidir. Bu problem ile mücadelede Türkiye’ye uygun olarak tüm okulu, aileyi ve toplumu içeren müdahale programları geliştirilmelidir.
