Dampak Bullying Bagi Kesehatan Mental Di Universitas

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Bullying in the university environment has become a problem that has a serious impact on students' mental health. This study aims to identify the impact of bullying on students' mental health at university and explore the factors that influence the intensity of this impact. Bullying that occurs in universities can be verbal, physical, social, or even through digital media (cyberbullying). The effects of bullying can include a variety of mental problems, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and decreased self-confidence, which ultimately affect students' academic performance and social interactions. In the university environment, students are often faced with a variety of complex academic and social pressures. In the midst of the adaptation and self-development process, some students experience bullying, both from fellow students and from other social environments. This phenomenon leads to various psychological impacts that disrupt students' mental balance and can interfere with their academic success and well-being in the future.
