Despite massive prevention programs, it has not yet resolved by teachers and
schools, and this also can affect school climate aspects. The aim of this study was
to explore students’ perceptions who are being bullying victims about health
promoting schools to prevent bullying at school.
Methods: This study used a qualitative case study design. The research sample
was 18 middle school students in grades 8 and 9 in East and West Surabaya. A
sample was recruited through snowball sampling. Interview guidelines were
used to collect the data through in-depth interviews. The data were subjected to
thematic analysis.
Results: Middle school students identified three main requirements related to
prevent bullying were health education, health services, and healthy school
environment. These themes were found among the participants with a bullying
victim’s history.

requires collaboration from various parties, such as students, teachers and school
policy makers to be able to apply the rules while in school.
