This study analyses teachers’ perceptions of bullying with a consideration of the bystanders’ role. Ten Finnish teachers from all school levels were inquired about their perceptions on school bullying. Additionally, the teachers were asked to evaluate what is the bystanders’ contribution. Thematic analysis revealed ten themes: 1) Not bully-free schools 2) Teachers: general strategies 3) Teachers’ feelings 4) Specific teacher practices 5) Innovative practices 6) Shifting bystander roles 7) Teachers’ perceptions of outsiders 8) Parental involvement 9) Gender and age 10) Skilful and loner- bully and victim. Some main findings of this study are: Finnish schools are described as facing many bullying problems. Teachers disclose they resort to their colleagues for help. Students are described as changing roles during or even after the incident or in another incident. In one occasion they stay uninvolved, for example, and in another they ally themselves with the bully. According to the teachers, parents are mainly responsible for educating their children about bullying. Parents should instruct their children not to bully and how to defend themselves and others when bullying occurs. Finally, according to one fundamental course of action used as an anti-bullying intervention, uninvolved students (outsiders) should be turned to defenders. The findings of this study though show that this aim has not been met with success so far. Some ideas for future intervention and prevention plans are being presented.
The development of technology, methods of communication and the entertainment industry has contributed to an increased amount of time students are spending online. This has also been followed by the emergence of cyberbullying, which has entered schools and has become a serious issue that challenges students, parents and educators alike. Nowadays, schools have to incorporate anti-cyberbullying strategies to ensure a safe learning environment. This study examined the implementation of anti-cyberbullying programs in Finnish lower secondary schools and their potential improvements through the perspectives of educators. Two research questions were in the focus of this study: “How do educators assess the implementation of the current anti-cyberbullying program in their schools” and “How would educators improve the efficiency of the anti-cyberbullying program in their schools?”. The views of the educators were studied through a qualitative approach by using semi-structured interviews. Seven educators from seven different Finnish lower secondary schools shared their experiences with the cyberbullying cases they had encountered. The findings indicated there are several areas within the programs that still have room for improvement, mostly in the area of educating the indirect participants of cyberbullying, i.e., the teachers and parents. Furthermore, the results showed that more attention should be paid to bystanders of bullying. It can be concluded that certain changes need to be made to more efficiently prevent cyberbullying. The facilitation of proper education for teachers, clear school policies about anti-bullying measures and better support for educators to create safer school environments are the first steps to be taken to more efficiently oppose cyberbullying.
Opinnäytetyössä kartoitettiin maallikoiden kokemuksia elvytystilanteista. Tavoitteena on tuottaa tietoa, jolla voidaan kehittää maallikoille annettavan elvytyskoulutuksen laatua. Hyvään sydänpysähdyspotilaan hoitoketjuun kuuluu osana maallikoiden aloittama painelu-puhalluselvytys (PPE). Suurimmat viiveet sydänpysähdyspotilaiden hoidossa ovat maallikoiden antaman elvytyksen aloittamisessa. Lyhentämällä elvytyksen aloittamiseen liittyvää viivettä, voidaan parantaa huomattavasti sydänpysähdyspotilaiden selviytymisennustetta. Opinnäytetyö toteutettiin laadullisena kyselytutkimuksena. Aineisto on kerätty tätä opinnäytetyötä varten suunnitellulla kyselylomakkeella syksyllä 2018. Otoksesta rajattiin pois terveydenhuollon ammattihenkilöt totuudenmukaisen kuvan saamiseksi. Aineisto analysoitiin laadullisella sisällönanalyysin menetelmällä. Tuloksista käy ilmi maallikoiden ajatuksia ja tunteita elvytystilanteeseen päätymisestä ja siinä toimimisessa. Nämä ovat linjassa aiemmin aiheesta tehtyjen tutkimuksien kanssa. Tulosten perusteella maallikot alkavat nopeammin elvyttämään henkilöä, jonka he tuntevat. Maallikot eivät mielellään haluaisi elvyttää päihteiden vaikutuksen alaisena olevaa henkilöä tai henkilöä, jolla on huono hygienia. Osa maallikoista kokee elvytysohjeet monimutkaisiksi,ja helposti unohtuviksi. Tämän vuoksi maallikoiden suositellaan kertaavan elvytystaitoja riittävän usein.
