Abstract

Purpose It is recommended that universities implement bystander interventions to disrupt the interpersonal violence and abuse that students experience in this context. Yet, there are few evaluations of bystander interventions in the UK. Building on an existing evaluation carried out on a bystander intervention at a university in 2017/18, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the intervention. Design/methodology/approach Using a one-way repeated measures design, analysis of variance was used to analyse pre- and post-intervention data gathered from 121 students, during 2018/19. Findings As the aims of the session were met, it can be inferred individuals who participate in the bystander intervention have the potential to disrupt interpersonal violence and abuse. Research limitations/implications The small sample size and design of the survey limited the research. Further evaluations of bystander interventions are needed in the UK that utilises large samples and a validated survey. Practical implications This paper notes the importance of engaging many students in a cohort to participate on a bystander intervention. Originality/value This study adds to the paucity of evaluations of bystander interventions in the UK. Knowing that the intervention has the potential to disrupt interpersonal violence and abuse builds the momentum for other similarly designed interventions to be implemented in universities in the UK.

评估旁观者干预以破坏人际暴力/虐待
目的建议大学实施旁观者干预,以破坏学生在这种情况下经历的人际暴力和虐待。然而,在英国,对旁观者干预的评估很少。在2017/18年对一所大学的旁观者干预进行的现有评估的基础上,本研究的目的是评估干预。设计/方法/方法使用单向重复测量设计,方差分析用于分析2018/19年期间从121名学生中收集的干预前和干预后数据。研究局限性/含义调查的样本量小和设计限制了研究。英国需要利用大量样本和经过验证的调查对旁观者干预措施进行进一步评估。实践意义本文指出了让一个群体中的许多学生参与旁观者干预的重要性。独创性/价值这项研究增加了对英国旁观者干预措施的评估不足。知道这种干预措施有可能破坏人际暴力和虐待,为英国大学实施其他类似设计的干预措施奠定了基础。
