Brief Summary

The middle school period is the period when children begin to experience physical, emotional and social development and try to adapt to psychological changes. In this age group, which is seen as a transition period, the child's academic success and acceptance by peers and friends are also important. The problems experienced during this period can continue in adulthood and children are more likely to experience loneliness, sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, absenteeism and a decrease in academic success. For this reason, early detection of risky behaviors that threaten children's health and evaluation of health promotion practices are very important issues for child health nursing. In recent years, peer bullying, aggression and social exclusion have increased and continue to increase in the middle school period, also called early adolescence. For this purpose, a study was needed to identify the situation in middle school students and reduce this negativity. In this respect, it is thought that the study will contribute to the literature. In addition, if the hypotheses of the study are confirmed, it is expected that similar training will be provided in other schools and contribute to the reduction of risky behaviors. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of motivational interviewing-based education on peer bullying, social exclusion and aggression in secondary school students and to offer suggestions for situations where deficiencies are observed based on the findings obtained.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• EFFECTS OF MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING-BASED EDUCATION GIVEN TO SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS ON PEER BULLYING, SOCIAL EXCLUSION AND AGGRESSION

  In the study, motivational interview-based training will be applied as a nursing intervention. After receiving institutional permission, a pre-test will be applied to students who agree to participate in the study to determine peer bullying. Students whose total scale score is above the average level will be randomly selected and included in the study will be determined. The study will begin after both groups have signed an informed consent form (both students and parents). In collecting research data, the "Introductory Information Form", "Peer Bullying Determination Scale", "Social Exclusion Scale for Children (SESC)", and "Aggression Scale" will be used.

  First, a pre-test will be applied to students in both the experimental and control groups. A post-test will be applied to students in the control group after 6 weeks and a control test will be applied 3 months after the post-test. No intervention will be
