"I know it shouldn't but it still hurts" bullying and adults: implications and interventions for practice.Kelly L. SourceMarjorie K. Unterberg School of Nursing and Health Studies, Monmouth University, 400 Cedar Avenue, West Long Branch, NJ 07764, USA. lkelly@monmouth.edu AbstractBullying problems among children and adolescents are well documented but there is scant literature that examines this phenomenon among adults. This article contends that nurses must begin to assess adult patients for this type of violence. Direct questions about being bullied at work or in cyberspace should be added to assessments. Questioning will help bullying victims recognize that what they are going through is not acceptable and not their fault. It will also help identify patients who may need interventions beyond the treatment of the physically traumatic effects of bullying. J Sch Nurs. 2011 Dec;27(6):416-23. doi: 10.1177/1059840511423381.

SourceDepartment of Public Health, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, USA. clenhart@temple.edu AbstractCurrent evidence is equivocal as to whether adolescent's perception of weight status is linked to both healthy and risky behaviors. This study examined the association between accurate and inaccurate perception of weight and self-reported health and risk behaviors among a diverse sample of obese, urban adolescents. Data were analyzed from 1,180 participants in the 2009 Philadelphia Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Health behaviors of obese students self-identifying as very or slightly overweight were compared to obese students who underestimated their weight status. Accurate self-identifiers of weight status were significantly more likely to report trying to lose weight, bullying victimization, and suicide attempts as compared to obese students underestimating their weight status. Findings suggest that it is important for school nurses to understand that perceived weight status confers distinct risk profiles and differing needs for health-related services related to the physical, mental, and social health of adolescents.

High incidence of obesity co-morbidities in young children: a cross-sectional study.Bell LM, Curran JA, Byrne S, Roby H, Suriano K, Jones TW, Davis EA. SourceTelethon Institute for Child Health Research, Centre for Child Health Research, University of Western Australia, Australia. AbstractAIM:The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children is a public health problem because of future morbidity. However, the prevalence of medical complications in overweight and obese primary school children in Australia is not well documented. As part of the larger, prospective cohort Growth and Development Study, this report aimed to identify the medical complications of obesity in a population-based community sample of primary school-aged children. METHODS:Two groups of primary school children were studied: a random community sample of overweight/obese children (not seeking treatment) and a matched community sample of normal weight children. Demographics, medical history, family history and symptoms of complications of overweight were collected. Children had a physical examination, oral glucose tolerance tests with insulins, fasting lipid profiles and liver function tests. RESULTS:Data from 283 children are presented (6.1-13.4 years, mean 9.8 years). There were no differences in birth data, family composition, parental age or socio-economic status between groups. Overweight and obese children were more likely to complain of musculoskeletal pain, depression, anxiety and bullying, and had more adverse examination findings than control children. They also had more abnormal investigations: overweight children: impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) 1.3%, hyperinsulinism 19.5%, dyslipidaemia 63.8%, raised alanine transaminase (ALT) 9.0%; obese children: IGT 5.3%, hyperinsulinism 38.9%, dyslipidaemia 73.7%, raised ALT 31.6%. CONCLUSION:Overweight and obese primary school-aged children have significant medical complications of their weight status. Overweight children, in addition to obese children, should be screened for complications. A secondary finding is a high proportion of normal weight children with lipid levels outside desirable healthy ranges. J Orthod. 2011 Dec;38(4):247-56; quiz 294. doi: 10.1179/14653121141641. Bullying in orthodontic patients and its relationship to malocclusion,self-esteem and oral health-related quality of life.Seehra J, Fleming PS, Newton T, DiBiase AT. SourceEast Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust,Ethelbert Road, Canterbury, Kent CT1 3NG, UK. Jad_Seehra@hotmail.com. AbstractObjectives: To measure the self-reported frequency and severity of bullying amongst patients referred for orthodontic treatment and to investigate whether there is a relationship between levels of self-reported bullying, malocclusion and need for orthodontic treatment and an individual's self-esteem and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Design and setting: Cross-sectional study of an adolescent group referred for orthodontic assessment at three UK hospitals. Subjects and methods: Three hundred and thirty-six participants aged between 10 and 14 years were recruited. Validated questionnaires were used to measure the self-reported frequency and severity of bullying, self-esteem and OHRQoL. Orthodontic treatment need was assessed using IOTN. Results: The prevalence of bullying was 12·8%. Being bullied was significantly associated with Class II Division 1 incisor relationship (P = 0·041),increased overbite (P = 0·023),increased overjet (P = 0·001)and a high need for orthodontic treatment assessed using AC IOTN (P = 0·014).Bullied participants also reported lower levels of social competence (P<0·001),athletic competence (P<0·001), physical appearance related self-esteem (P<0·001)and general self-esteem (P<0·001). Higher levels of oral symptoms (P = 0·032),functional limitations (P<0·001), emotional (P<0·001)and social impact (P<0·001) from their oral condition, resulting in a negative impact on overall OHRQoL (P<0·001),were also reported. Conclusions: Significant relationships exist between bullying and certain occlusal traits, self-esteem and OHRQoL. J Intellect Disabil. 2011 Dec;15(4):229-40. doi: 10.1177/1744629511429908.
