Among primary and middle school students with mental health problems such as hostility, interpersonal stress, academic pressure and emotional imbalance, the detection rate of bullying behavior was 24.2%, 20.3%, 19.4% and 20.1%, respectively. The results of multivariate analysis showed that hostility symptoms (OR=3.78, 95%CI=1.71-8.32), interpersonal stress (OR=3.50, 95%CI=1.62-7.57), academic pressure (OR=1.62, 95%CI=1.21-2.16) and emotional imbalance (OR=2.80, 95%CI=1.41-5.56) showed a significant impact on campus bullying (P < 0.05).
