Objective To analyze the association between adolescents'traditional peer victimization and suicide-related psychological behaviors,and explore the role of adolescents'sleep quality in this association,so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention of adolescents'suicide-related psychological behaviors.Methods In October 2020,a total of 5 724 middle school students in Xuancheng city,Hefei city and Huaibei city of Anhui province were selected by using a stratified random cluster sampling method.The Olweus bullying victimization questionnaire,Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale and self-designed psychological behavior questionnaire were used.Chi-square test was used to compare the detection rates of traditional peer victimization and suicide-related psychological behaviors among adolescents with different demographic characteristics.Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between peer traditional bullying and suicide-related psychological behaviors,and the modera-ting role of sleep quality on the above association was explored by using logistic regression stratified by sleep disorders.Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that peer victimization and sleep quality were positively correlated with four suicide-related psychological behaviors(OR=3.38-4.01,all P<0.001).The sleep quality of adolescents had a moderating effect on the exposure to traditional peer victimization and four suicide-related psychological behaviors(OR=0.48-0.64,all P<0.001).Conclusions There is a positive correlation between adolescents'exposure to peer traditional victimiza-tion and suicide-related psychological behaviors,and sleep quality plays a moderating role between adolescents'exposure to peer traditional victimization and suicide-related psychological behaviors.
