Abstract(s)
O cyberbullying é um grande problema de saúde pública, que acontece quando um
ou mais indivíduos, através do uso de meios eletrónicos, têm atitudes com a finalidade de
agredir o outro. O impacto do cyberbullying na saúde mental dos adolescentes reflete-se
no efeito negativo na vida de jovens e jovens adultos, sendo que este fenómeno assume
sérias implicações para a saúde-mental e o desenvolvimento do ser humano. O presente
estudo tem como principal objetivo compreender e analisar as problemáticas associadas
ao cyberbullying, avaliar a saúde mental e autoestima em vítimas, assim como entender
de que forma a baixa autoestima e doença mental podem constituir-se como um fator
vulnerável à vitimização de cyberbullying, sendo que a amostra é constituída por 221
indivíduos (164 do sexo feminino, 56 masculino e 1 intersexo) e está dividida em dois
grupos: vítimas (n= 48) e não vítimas (n= 173). Os instrumentos utilizados foram o
Questionário de Dados Sociodemográficos e de Caracterização da Amostra, dois
questionários que avaliam o cyberbullying (CBQ e CBQ-V), o Inventário de Saúde
Mental (MHI-38) e a Escala de Autoestima. Quanto aos resultados, espera-se que seja
encontrada relação entre o ser vítima de cyberbullying e desenvolver dificuldades ao nível
da autoestima, bem como da saúde mental no seu global.
ABSTRACT: Cyberbullying is a major public health problem, which occurs when one or more individuals, through the use of electronic media, act with the aim of attacking another. The impact of cyberbullying on the mental health of adolescents is reflected in the negative effect on the lives of young people and young adults, and this phenomenon has serious implications for the mental health and development of human beings. The main aim of this study was to understand and analyse the problems associated with cyberbullying, to assess mental health and self-esteem in victims, as well as to understand how low self-esteem and mental illness can be a vulnerable factor in cyberbullying victimization. The sample consisted of 221 individuals (164 female, 56 male and 1 intersex) and was divided into two groups: victims (n= 48) and non-victims (n= 173). The instruments used were the Sociodemographic Data and Sample Characterization Questionnaire, two questionnaires assessing cyberbullying (CBQ and CBQ-V), the Mental Health Inventory (MHI-38) and the Self-Esteem Scale. As for the results, it is expected that a relationship will be found between being a victim of cyberbullying and developing difficulties in terms of self-esteem, as well as overall mental health.
