Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
In this study, trained school nurses will deliver an integrated intervention consisting of sessions on identifying emotions, managing stress, developing empathy, communicating effectively, and resolving conflicts. The program is designed to help students better understand their emotions, control impulsive reactions, and build positive relationships with peers. These skills are expected to reduce the risk of bullying-both as perpetrators and as victims.
The research uses a quasi-experimental design involving two high schools in Bandung. One school will receive the nurse-led intervention, while the comparison school will continue routine school activities. Students who meet inclusion criteria and provide consent/assent will participate in pre- and post-intervention assessments. The primary outcome is improvement in emotional regulation scores. Secondary outcomes include bullying behavior, empathy, and student perceptions of the school climate.
All activities will follow ethical guidelines, including confidentiality, voluntary participation, and the right to withdraw at any time. The study seeks to provide evidence on how nurses can contribute to mental health promotion in schools and support sustainable, school-based bullying prevention strategies.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A quasi-experimental non-randomized design will be used. Two high schools in Bandung will participate: one serving as the intervention site and the other as the comparison site. Participants will be students in grades 10-11 who consent to join the study. Pre-intervention assessments will measure emotional regulation (primary outcome) and bullying behaviors, empathy, and school climate (secondary outcomes). After the intervention sessions are completed, the same measures will be reassessed.
The study aims to generate evidence on the feasibility and effectiveness of a nurse-led emotional and social skills program delivered in school settings. Findings are expected to inform future mental health strategies, support the integration of nurses into school-based preventive services, and contribute practical recommendations for bullying prevention policies.
