abstract="AIM: To understand the bullying experiences of youth with neuromuscular conditions. <br><br>METHOD: Fourteen participants with neuromuscular conditions (10 male; 10-19 years old) participated in semistructured interviews that were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. <br><br>RESULTS: Four overarching themes were identified: (1) participants experienced stigma-based bullying; (2) participants exhibited resilience despite bullying victimization; (3) participants identified personally and theoretically helpful and unhelpful supports with regard to bullying; and (4) participants proposed bullying interventions. <br><br>INTERPRETATION: Individuals with neuromuscular conditions had unique experiences and perspectives on bullying. This qualitative study provides health care professionals with insight into the bullying experiences of patients with neuromuscular conditions. <br><br>FINDINGS highlight the role for formal and informal education to mitigate stigma-based bullying and increased opportunities for peer support as a protective factor against bullying.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
