TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Bullying and health related quality of life among adolescents-a systematic review JO - Children (Basel, Switzerland) A1 - Dubey, Viney Prakash A1 - Kievišienė, Justina A1 - Rauckiene-Michealsson, Alona A1 - Norkiene, Sigutė A1 - Razbadauskas, Artūras A1 - Agostinis-Sobrinho, Cesar SP - e766 EP - e766 VL - 9 IS - 6 N2 - Health-related quality of life is among global health goals not only in adulthood but also in childhood and adolescence. Being a multi-component construct, health-related quality of life covers various domains, such as physical and psychological wellbeing and social and environmental areas. Bullying might significantly influence those domains especially in adolescence, a period of life when numerous personal and interpersonal transformations are experienced. Therefore, the aim of the current systematic review was to provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship of bullying with the health-related quality of adolescents' lives. An electronic literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, and 3621 full-text articles were identified. After a selection process, 12 studies covering diagnosis, prevention and treatment for each of the three sections "adolescents", "health related quality of life" and "bullying" were reviewed. An overall reduction in health-related quality of life in regard to bullying appeared from the studies analyzed, as well as a decline in adolescent mental health. Different bullying types were identified as causing harm to various adolescents' health-related quality of life domains. These findings may contribute to effective bullying management in schools and/or societal settings, and inform intervention strategies for maintaining the quality of life of adolescents being bullied.
