2014年9月3日 讯 /生物谷BIOON/ --近日,刊登在国际杂志JAMA Pediatrics上的两篇研究论文中,来自约翰霍普金斯大学的研究人员通过研究发现,家庭聚餐或许对青少年的心理健康有益,有助于保护青少年免于网络欺凌。

网络欺凌和未成年人的心理健康直接相关,据调查,五分之一的青少年都经历过网络欺凌,这种现象容易增加青少年心理健康的风险,而且其和药物误用及酒精滥用对心理健康的影响等同。

这项研究中,研究者对49所学校18834名年龄在12至18岁的青少年进行了调查分析,研究人员测定了青少年的五种内化问题(即焦虑、抑郁、自我伤害、自杀意念及自杀未遂情况)、

两种外化问题(好战及破坏力)及四种物质滥用问题(即频繁的酒精消耗、豪饮、处方药误用和非处方药误用)。

在过去的12个月里将近有19%的青少年都报告有过网络欺凌的经历,而网络欺凌和11个所有的内化问题、外化问题及物质滥用问题直接相关;研究者表示,家庭聚餐似乎可以有效调节网络欺凌和青少年心理健康之间的关系,比如每周家庭聚餐四次及以上就可以有效改善网络欺凌受害者和频繁的受害者的心理健康问题。

基于当前研究,研究者们并不能很肯定地总结说,单独的网络欺凌可以引发青少年心理健康问题,以及单一的家庭聚餐就可以免于青少年患心理健康问题;随后研究人员Catherine P. Bradshaw发表社论说,这项研究中点强调了青少年网络欺凌和心理健康之间的关系,而家庭聚餐则可以有效改善二者的关联,帮助正确调节青少年的心理健康。(生物谷Bioon.com)

The Role of Families in Preventing and Buffering the Effects of Bullying

Catherine P. Bradshaw, PhD, MEd1,2

Bullying is a significant public health concern that has garnered considerable attention by the media, policy makers, educators, parents, and researchers. In some ways, its increased visibility has followed a similar trajectory to the issue of child maltreatment, whereby research on short- and long-term impacts of maltreatment, high-profile case examples, and court cases came to the attention of the media, which in turn led policy makers to pass legislation related to identification and reporting. Although the laws and policies related to bullying have taken a different form and focus (ie, largely on schools), they still represent a significant shift in the way in which we are beginning to conceptualize bullying as a public health problem rather than a fact of life. We must capitalize on this increased attention to the issue of bullying and its myriad effects to promote effective prevention approaches in schools, families, and online.

Cyberbullying Victimization and Mental Health in Adolescents and the Moderating Role of Family Dinners

Importance This study presents evidence that cyberbullying victimization relates to internalizing, externalizing, and substance use problems in adolescents and that the frequency of family dinners attenuate these associations. Objectives To examine the unique association between cyberbullying victimization and adolescent mental health (after controlling differences in involvement in traditional, face-to-face bullying) and to explore the potential moderating role of family contact in this association. Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional, observational study used survey data on 18 834 students (aged 12-18 years) from 49 schools in a Midwestern US state. Logistic regression analysis tested associations between cyberbullying victimization and the likelihood of mental health and substance use problems. Negative binomial regression analysis tested direct and synergistic contributions of cyberbullying victimization and family dinners on the rates of mental health and substance use problems. Exposures Frequency of cyberbullying victimization during the previous 12 months; victimization by traditional (face-to-face) bullying; and perpetration of traditional bullying. Main Outcomes and Measures Five internalizing mental health problems (anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicide ideation, and suicide attempt), 2 externalizing problems (fighting and vandalism), and 4 substance use problems (frequent alcohol use, frequent binge drinking, prescription drug misuse, and over-the-counter drug misuse). Results About one-fifth (18.6%) of the sample experienced cyberbullying during the previous 12 months. The frequency of cyberbullying positively related to all 11 internalizing, externalizing, and substance use problems (odds ratios from 2.6 [95% CI, 1.7-3.8] to 4.5 [95% CI, 3.0-6.6]). However, victimization related more closely to rates of problems in adolescents that had fewer family dinners. Conclusions and Relevance Cyberbullying relates to mental health and substance use problems in adolescents, even after their involvement in face-to-face bullying is taken into account. Although correlational, these results suggest that family dinners (ie, family contact and communication) are beneficial to adolescent mental health and may help protect adolescents from the harmful consequences of cyberbullying.
