Example text
A largescale Norwegian study of trade union members within a number of occupations and industries concluded that anxiety, depression and aggression were the effects most strongly related to bullying (Einarsen et al. 1994a). In a Finnish study of university employees, the following symptoms were reported as common amongst targets: insomnia, nervous symptoms, melancholy, apathy, socio-phobia and lack of concentration (Bjorkqvist et al. 1994). Based on the results of a national study of bullying in Sweden, Heinz Leymann concluded that the strongest difference between bullied and non-bullied respondents lay in ‘cognitive effects’ (concentration problems, insecurity, lack of initiative and irritability) and psychosomatic symptoms (stomach upset, nausea and muscular aches) (Hoel 1997).
1 The association between bullying and health (mean scores) Note: 1The GHQ score is only used for interpretation when it is high. Scores beyond a threshold mean that respondents may benefit from seeing a mental health professional. Many studies see the threshold as scores beyond 4, and some use scores at 3 or above. Remember this measure is sensitive to ‘normal’ mental health issues such as depression and is not designed for use with serious mental health disorders. Source: Hoel and Cooper 2000.
For example, the first UNISON study (1997) had a response base from the whole trade union (which has many NHS workers). It found few people singled out, and around a third bullied with the whole of their group. The pattern changed in the later survey (UNISON 2000), which was conducted exclusively amongst civilian workers in the British police force. More people were found to be singled out and also more people reported the whole of their group to be bullied. This may reflect the high level of team-working in the police environment.
