Abstract

FIGUEIRA, Marcelle de Paula et al. Association between parental supervision and bullying victimization and perpetration in Brazilian adolescents, Brazilian National Survey of Student’s Health 2015. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.1, e2021778.  Epub Apr 22, 2022. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1679-49742022000100025.

Objective:

To analyze the association between parental supervision characteristics and different bullying roles among Brazilian adolescent school students.

Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study using data from the National School Student Health Survey (PeNSE) 2015. Frequent meals with parents/guardians, knowing about students’ free time activities and checking their homework were the parental practices assessed. Logistic regression was used for association between these practices and bullying (perpetration and victimization), presented as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI).

Results:

Among 102,072 school students, frequent meals with parents or guardians [ORvictim = 0.86 (95%CI 0.84;0.89); ORperp = 0.85 (95%CI 0.82;0.88)], checking homework [ORvictim = 0.95 (95%CI 0.92;0.97); ORperp = 0.76 (95%CI - 0.74;0.78)], and parents’ or guardians’ knowledge about students’ free time activities [ORperp = 0.70 (95%CI 0.68;0.73] were inversely associated with bullying.

Conclusion:

Greater parental supervision reduced the odds of bullying victimization and perpetration among adolescent school students.
