SCREENING FOR BULLYING BEHAVIOR 2
Policy priority issue: Screening for bullying behavior
Bullying is defined as repeated, destructive behavior, characterized by a disproportion of
power between the victim and bully (Tippet & Wolke, 2014). Youth bullying is a serious public
health problem in our schools. There is an increasing amount of suicides, homicides, and other
forms of violence impacting our youth that is explicitly or indirectly related to bullying have
initiated public policy forums to act.

Policy Priority Issue
The policy priority issue that is being presented in this paper is a mandatory screening for
children who have shown bullying behavior or those who have been nominated by peers to have
exhibited bullying behavior. Victims of bullying generally have a lower value of life and
experience a lower self-esteem;

Key Points
Studies have shown that 20% to 54% of children in primary to elementary school are
recurrently involved in bullying as the offenders or as the victims (Jansen, Veenstra, Ormel,
Verhulst, & Reijneveld, 2011).

Empirical Evidence
The evidence supporting the use of a peer nomination form and the implementation of a
subsequent mental health screening for children who are identified by their peers as bullies as
well as children who are seen displaying bullying behavior has been shown to be promising.
Carter (2012) states that existing research gives direction concerning the substantial needs of
children who show bullying behavior and express violence in schools.;

Impact and Importance to Nursing
One third of the children in our school systems are involved in bullying as the bully or
the victim and the detrimental effects on the physical and mental health are seen as a great public
health concern (Tippet & Wolke, 2014).

Conclusion
“Bullying” makes us think of a school playground where a very large, intimidating kid is
hovering over a smaller timid child. This is just one of the scenarios of children who exhibit
bullying behavior.
