Abstract: School bullying remains a persistent challenge that affects student well-being, academic performance, and the overall learning environment. Despite the increasing number of intervention programs worldwide, questions remain about the key determinants that shape their effectiveness. This study aimed to identify and thematise the factors that influence the success of school bullying prevention strategies. Guided by the PRISMA protocol, 19 peer-reviewed articles were identified, screened, and systematically synthesised using a thematic review approach. The analysis revealed six key strategies that contribute to effective prevention: fostering a favourable school climate, ensuring program fidelity, strengthening teacher efficacy, promoting socioemotional regulation, increasing peer support, and incorporating parental involvement. These findings underscore the importance of a holistic, multi-stakeholder approach in designing and implementing interventions.
