Abstract

Background: Bullying in elementary schools may affect mental health, peer relationships, and stress-related physical complaints, but incidents often remain unrecognized or unreported.
Aims: This community service program aimed to strengthen bullying recognition, help-seeking behavior, and child protection awareness through an interdisciplinary medical, psychological, and legal approach.
Methods: The program was conducted at SDS Setia Bakti, Cipinang, East Jakarta, among seven students in grades 3–6 from 17 November to 25 December 2025. Participatory Action Learning was implemented through three structured sessions comprising screening, educational role-play, and medical-legal integration ("Tubuhku Otoritasku"), followed by a closing declaration and selection of Anti-Bullying Ambassadors. Evaluation used a one-group pretest–posttest design with an adapted Olweus Bullying Questionnaire.
Result: The mean verbal bullying score decreased from 1.43 to 0.75, while the mean physical bullying score decreased from 0.71 to 0.38. Reports of stomachache or headache declined from 71% to 50%, reported anxiety decreased from 43% to 0%, and reporting incidents to teachers increased from 0% to 50%. These findings suggest positive short-term changes, supporting the integration of interdisciplinary school-based interventions.
