Among students who reported experiencing corporal punishment, the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was 43.5%, 60.3%, and 14.7%, respectively. Corporal punishment was significantly associated with school type and academic performance. Students in private schools had higher odds of experiencing corporal punishment (OR\u2009=\u20091.99, 95% CI: 1.26\u20134.82). Reported physical harm among students who experienced corporal punishment was significantly associated with age and academic performance. Students aged 10\u201313 years were less likely to experience physical harm compared to those aged 14\u201319 years (OR\u2009=\u20090.39, 95% CI: 0.05\u20130.94). Students with low (OR\u2009=\u20092.00, 95% CI: 1.48\u20135.49) and medium (OR\u2009=\u20097.12, 95% CI: 1.73\u201312.82)\u00a0academic performance had higher odds of physical harm. Depression was higher among males (OR\u2009=\u20091.49, 95% CI: 1.23\u20133.65) and private school students (OR\u2009=\u20092.67, 95% CI: 1.39\u20134.01). Anxiety was higher among older adolescents (OR\u2009=\u20090.68, 95% CI: 0.28\u20130.97) and private school students (OR\u2009=\u20094.39, 95% CI: 1.81\u20136.74).

Physical effects of corporal punishment were common, with most students reporting pain and a smaller proportion reporting physical harm. Depression, anxiety, and stress were also common among students who reported experiencing corporal punishment. Targeted interventions are recommended, including teacher training on positive discipline, academic support for low\u2010 and medium\u2010performing students, age\u2010appropriate mental health services, and gender\u2010sensitive counseling to reduce the risk of corporal punishment and promote student well\u2010being.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.73258","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,16]],"date-time":"2026-09-16T05:21:26Z","timestamp":1789536086000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Corporal Punishment and Associated Factors Among School\u2010Going Adolescents of Chandragiri Municipality, Kathmandu District, Nepal: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-4273-9245","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sweta","family":"Adhikari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, Om Health Campus Purbanchal University Kathmandu Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8754-0000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susmita","family":"Thapa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Community Medicine, Chitwan Medical College Tribhuvan University Chitwan Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9671-3846","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manish","family":"Rajbanshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Department of Public Health, Institute of Medicine Tribhuvan University Kathmandu Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sushila","family":"Kunwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Department of Social Work Tribhuvan University Kathmandu Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5186-2802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shashi","family":"Yadav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Patan Academy of Health Sciences Lalitpur Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashmita","family":"Maharjan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health and Community Medicine B.P.
