Resumen
Bullying occurs in 246 million children and adolescents worldwide, approximately; in Ecuador 2 out of 10 children are affected by this social unrest. It is associated with biopsychosocial factors and in the last decades it has been shown that affects the integral development of the child. This research determines the prevalence of bullying and the relationship with malnutrition in children and adolescents. It is a quantitative, analytical and cross-sectional study, developed in the pediatric emergency at José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital; the sample was made up of 325 children between 9 to 15-year-old kids. The European Bullying Intervention Project Questionnaire test was applied in this group (EBIPQ) in order to determine the presence or absence of bullying. In addition, weight and height data was collected to calculate the body mass index (BMI) with the purpose of knowing the nutritional status according to the obtained percentile. The Chi Square and Taub-Kendall tests were used in this research, the reliability interval was 95% and positive significance with (p =) less than 0.05. In conclusion and according to the results, the prevalence of bullying was 41.8%; the individuals concerned are of appropriate weight, that is, the nutritional status in this research is NOT related to the presence of bullying, in the same way it is not a factor to be a victim, aggressor or aggressor victim.
