Abstract

Psychological health and physiological health are crucial issues for educational institutes. However, bullying in universities remains a significant social issue that requires a deep understanding from the bully's perspective. This qualitative study investigated students with lived experiences of bullying in two medical colleges at King Khalid University, Abha, Saudi Arabia. Nine male students participated in this study through semi-structured group discussions using open-ended questions. The discussions were transcribed, and the data were thematically analyzed. Four themes were identified: (i) the prevalence of bullying, (ii) bullying experiences, (iii) the institutional policy of bullying, and (iv) factors contributing to bullying. Findings showed that students lacked knowledge of their colleges' anti-bullying policies, and verbal bullying was the prevalent form of bullying in interactions among students and between students and lecturers. In addition, cyberbullying was extended to digital platforms, as indicated by a number of participants. The participants also highlighted the significance of anti-bullying policies, believing that better awareness would empower students to address bullying more effectively. Recommendations were made for universities to implement anti-bullying policies and ensure their visibility to assist students in dealing with bullying situations.

哈立德国王大学受欺凌学生的生活经历:定性研究。
心理健康和生理健康对于教育机构来说都是至关重要的问题。然而,大学中的欺凌仍然是一个重要的社会问题,需要从欺凌者的角度来深入了解。本定性研究调查了沙特阿拉伯阿卜哈哈立德国王大学两所医学院学生遭受欺凌的生活经历。九名男生通过使用开放式问题的半结构化小组讨论参与了本研究。对讨论内容进行了誊写,并对数据进行了主题分析。确定了四个主题(i) 欺凌的普遍性,(ii) 欺凌经历,(iii) 欺凌的制度政策,以及 (iv) 导致欺凌的因素。调查结果显示,学生对所在学院的反欺凌政策缺乏了解,在学生之间以及学生与讲师之间的互动中,言语欺凌是最普遍的欺凌形式。此外,一些参与者还指出,网络欺凌已扩展到数字平台。与会者还强调了反欺凌政策的重要性,认为提高学生的认识将使他们有能力更有效地解决欺凌问题。与会者建议大学实施反欺凌政策并确保其可见性,以帮助学生应对欺凌情况。
