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，对英国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，方差分析用于分析在 2018/19 年期间从 121 名学生收集的干预前和干预后数据。

发现

随着会议目标的达成，可以推断参与旁观者干预的个人有可能破坏人际暴力和虐待。

研究限制/影响

调查的小样本量和设计限制了研究。英国需要利用大样本和经过验证的调查对旁观者干预进行进一步评估。

实际影响

这篇论文指出了让许多学生在一个队列中参与旁观者干预的重要性。

原创性/价值

这项研究增加了对英国旁观者干预评估的缺乏。知道干预措施有可能破坏人际暴力和虐待，这为在英国大学实施其他类似设计的干预措施创造了动力。
