Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti'ndeki (KKTC) ergenler arasında akran zorbalığının yaygınlığını ve bunu etkileyen faktörleri araştırmaktır. Araştırma tanımlayıcı tipte bir araştırmadır. Araştırmanın hedef evrenini 2018-2019 eğitim-öğretim yılında KKTC'nin Gazimağusa ilçesinde öğrenim gören 3016 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi tabakalandırma örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışmada Olweus tarafından geliştirilen Öğrencilere Yönelik Akran Zorbalığı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularında, akran zorbalığında erkek öğrencilerin kız öğrencilere göre daha fazla hem mağdur hem de zorba oldukları; meslek lisesi öğrencilerinin diğer öğrencilere göre daha fazla akran zorbalığı mağduru olduğu; 6. ve 7. sınıf öğrencilerin ve ebeveynleri ile birlikte yaşamayan öğrencilerin daha fazla mağdur olduğu saptandı. Çalışmada ebeveynleriyle kötü ilişkileri olan öğrencilerin daha çok zorba oldukları tespit edildi. Hemşireler hem mağdur hem de zorba öğrencilerin evlerini ziyaret ederek bu sorunun temel nedenini gözlemlemelidir.
