Interventions to bullying phenomenon in childhood: a systematic review of literature

Bullying is associated with negative consequences for psychosocial development of children. There are recent studies in literature with proposals for management of bullying. This study aims to present a systematic review of the literature between years 2002 to 201 3 about interventions for bullying, and final selection included 1 9 scientific articles. Two judges analyzed objective, theoretical approach, thematic and methodological aspects of interventions. Was observed that most interventions aimed to reduce rates of bullying, occurred at school, in group, and involve whole school. There is a wide range of assessment instrument, and difficult to identify theoretical models of interventions, and no study has been conducted with pre-scholar children. Possibilities are suggested for future research about bullying interventions on childhood.
