The Influence of Gender and Hope on the Resilience of Bullied Adolescents

Abstract

Bullying is currently a national concern in Indonesia. Many of the country’s children and adolescents have taken their lives due to a lack of resilience in the face of bullying. However, some studies have revealed that victims can survive the adverse effects of bullying. This study aimed to analyze the roles of hope and sociodemographic characteristics in the resilience of bullied adolescents in Indonesia. The study used a cross-sectional design and selected 305 bullied high school students in Semarang as participants through purposive sampling. The Adolescent Resilience Scale and the Children’s Hope Scale were used to measure the participants’ resilience and hope. A multiple linear regression test was applied to analyze the influence of hope and sociodemographic characteristics on resilience. The results showed that gender (β = -0.149, p = 0.001) and hope (β = 0.571, p = 0.001) significantly influenced the resilience of the bullied adolescents. Working through schools’ health units, nurses should establish partnerships with stakeholders, such as school personnel and parents, to develop hope-based intervention programs aimed at enhancing the resilience of bullied adolescents.   Abstrak  Pengaruh Gender dan Harapan terhadap Resiliensi Remaja Korban Perundungan.
