Summary
Bullying based on social stigma harms youth wellbeing and academics. While interventions are increasing, they are unevenly distributed and vary in quality, necessitating more comprehensive and rigorously evaluated approaches.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Psychology
- Sociology
Background:
- Youth with devalued characteristics face significant stigma-based bullying.
- This bullying negatively impacts wellbeing and academic success, with lasting effects.
- Evidence-based interventions are recommended to combat stigma-based bullying.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review interventions addressing stigma-based bullying in youth.
- To characterize the landscape of existing interventions from 2000-2015.
- To identify gaps and inform future intervention development.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review of peer-reviewed articles (2000-2015).
- Screened 8,240 articles, identifying 22 studies on 21 interventions.
- Analysis guided by a theoretical framework of stigma-based bullying.
Main Results:
- Interventions for stigma-based bullying are increasing but unevenly distributed.
- Interventions vary in theoretical grounding and evaluation rigor.
- Significant gaps exist across different stigmas and geographic regions.
Conclusions:
- Future interventions should be multicomponent, interdisciplinary, and theory-based.
- Rigorous and systematic evaluations are crucial for effectiveness.
- Addressing stigma-related factors is essential to end youth bullying and improve wellbeing.

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
