The Experiences of Classmates Surrounding Incidents of ‘Vomiting’ in Schools: An Investigation Using Scenario-Based Retrospective Among University Students

Abstract

In school life, the majority of classroom and other group activities take place. When an injury or illness occurs, it is necessary to give guidance and consideration not only to the injured or ill, but also to students other than the injured or ill. The purpose of this study is to focus on the frequent occurrence of vomiting at school and to determine how classmates other than the student who vomited might feel and attempt to act. A questionnaire survey of 246 university students was conducted on a fictitious case using the recall method. Most elementary school students were averse to vomiting and often left the scene, whereas middle school students tended to express concern for the vomiting student and actively try to assist him or her. The emotions and behaviors toward injury and illness differed between elementary school students and junior high school students. It was suggested that appropriate instruction differed depending on the development of the student. Appropriate guidance should be considered for each of these differences.
