Cyber-bullying and incivility in an online learning environment, part 2: promoting student success in the virtual classroom. Clark CM, Ahten S, Werth L. Source School of Nursing, Boise State University, 1910 University Drive, Boise, ID 83725, USA. cclark@boisestate.edu Abstract The appeal of online learning has increased dramatically among nurses who are pursuing higher-education opportunities. However, online learning has created potential avenues for uncivil behaviors that can affect student satisfaction, performance, and retention. This is the second of 2 articles detailing a study to empirically measure nursing faculty and student perceptions of an online learning environment (OLE). Part 1, in the July/August 2012 issue, described the quantitative results including the types and frequency of uncivil behaviors and the extent to which they are perceived to be a problem in online courses. In this portion of the study, the authors discuss the qualitative findings, including the challenges and advantages of the OLE, specific ways to foster civility, and strategies to promote student success and retention.

Factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Chinese version of the School Bullying Experience Questionnaire. Yen CF, Kim YS, Tang TC, Wu YY, Cheng CP.

Abstract The aims of this study were to examine the factor structure, internal consistency, 1-month test-retest reliability, and congruent validity of the Chinese version of the School Bullying Experience Questionnaire (C-SBEQ). Study 1, in which 5751 Taiwanese adolescents in Southern Taiwan participated, examined the adequacy of the original four-factor structure of the C-SBEQ using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and internal-consistency reliability using Cronbach α. Study 2, in which 108 adolescents in Southern Taiwan participated, examined the 1-month test-retest reliability using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). We examined the congruent validity of the C-SBEQ by examining the consistency between self-reported and teacher- and classmate-nominated experiences of bullying involvement in Study 2. The results of CFA supported the four-factor structure of the C-SBEQ in Taiwanese adolescents. The test-retest and internal reliability values of all subscales of the C-SBEQ were at acceptable to satisfactory levels. Nominated adolescents had significantly higher self-reported scores on three C-SBEQ subscales than non-nominated ones, and the levels of agreement between self-reported and nominated victims were moderate. The results of this study indicate that the C-SBEQ is appropriate for assessing bullying experiences in Taiwanese adolescents. J Pediatr (Rio J). 2012 Sep-Oct;88(5):443-8.doi:10.2223/JPED.2193.

[Article in English, Portuguese] Salum GA, Patrick DL, Isolan LR, Manfro GG, Fleck MP. Source Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. gsalumjr@gmail.com Abstract OBJECTIVE: To test some psychometric properties of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Youth Quality of Life Instrument-Research (YQOL-R) in a community sample of Brazilian adolescents. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional community study conducted in six schools of the catchment area of a family health unit. From an original population of 2,754 students from 10 to 17 years old, we randomly selected 419 to answer the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the YQOL-R. We tested reliability, known group differences (using anxiety symptoms and bullying involvement), and factor structure. RESULTS: The YQOL-R showed a good internal consistency and had an adequate and expected known group differences with both bullying and anxiety. The factor structure of the conceptual model was partially supported by our analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The Brazilian-Portuguese version of the YQOL-R showed sufficiently good psychometric properties. Further studies are needed in order to better investigate alternative configurations of the factor structure. Clin Pediatr (Phila). 2012 Sep;51(9):840-7. doi: 10.1177/0009922812455093.

Source Washington University, St Louis, MO 63110, USA. jgarbutt@dom.wustl.edu Abstract Patient-centered care requires pediatricians to address parents' health concerns, but their willingness to solicit parental concerns may be limited by uncertainty about which topics will be raised. The authors conducted surveys of parents to identify current health-related issues of concern. METHODS: Participants rated 30 items as health problems for children in their community (large, medium, small, or no problem) and volunteered concerns for their own children. RESULTS: A total of 1119 parents completed the survey. Allergies (69%), lack of exercise (68%), asthma (65%), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (65%), Internet safety (63%), obesity (59%), smoking (58%), and bullying (57%) were identified as important problems (large or medium) with variation among demographic subgroups. Concerns for their own children included healthy nutrition; obesity; lack of exercise, healthy growth and development; safety and injury prevention; and mental health issues. CONCLUSION: Parents' health concerns for children are varied and may differ from those routinely addressed during well-child care. Cad Saude Publica. 2012 Sep;28(9):1725-36.
