Abstract

Abstract Children with asthma face serious mental health risk, but the pathways remain unclear. This study aimed to examine bullying victimisation and perpetration in children with asthma and a comparison sample without a chronic health condition, and the role of bullying in moderating psychosocial adjustment outcomes for those with asthma. A sample of children with (n = 24) and without asthma (n = 39), and their parents, were recruited from hospital clinics. Parents rated children’s psychosocial adjustment; children provided self-report of bullying victimisation and perpetration; from which co-occurring bully/victim status was derived. No differences in mean perpetration or victimisation were found, but children with asthma were more likely to be bully/victims (involved both as target and perpetrator), compared to those without asthma. Children with asthma who were victims of bullying had greater peer problems and overall adjustment problems; bully/victims did not show this pattern. Children with asthma may be more likely to be bully/victims, and those who are victims of bullying may be at elevated risk for psychosocial adjustment problems and require particular support in this area from school counsellors and psychologists.

哮喘儿童和非哮喘儿童的欺凌和心理社会适应

摘要哮喘儿童面临严重的心理健康风险，但其途径尚不清楚。这项研究旨在检查哮喘儿童的欺凌受害和实施情况，以及一个没有慢性健康状况的比较样本，以及欺凌在调节哮喘儿童心理社会适应结果中的作用。从医院诊所招募了一份患有哮喘（n=24）和没有哮喘（n=39）的儿童及其父母的样本。父母对儿童的心理社会适应能力进行评分；儿童提供了欺凌受害和实施的自我报告；由此衍生出共同发生的欺凌者/受害者身份。没有发现平均实施或受害程度的差异，但与没有哮喘的儿童相比，患有哮喘的儿童更有可能成为欺凌者/受害者（既是目标又是施暴者）。哮喘儿童是欺凌的受害者，他们有更大的同伴问题和整体适应问题；欺凌者/受害者没有表现出这种模式。哮喘儿童可能更容易成为欺凌者/受害者，而那些欺凌受害者可能面临更高的心理社会适应问题风险，需要学校辅导员和心理学家在这方面给予特别支持。
