Objective: To explore the behaviors,
disposition, psychological factors and family life of in-organic abdominal
pain arising when a child refusing to have a meal.
Methods: Fifty-six children with
in-organic abdominal pain arising when having a meal, 5-12 years of age,
were investigated about their behaviors, minds, psychological tests (Bender
Gestalt Test & EPQ Test), family life and whether the family has the
only one child or not etc. Result In behaviors, minds, psychological
factors all children tested have some problems. Most of them (96.4%) showed
that their minds were not atrest, and they felt more or less anxious and
easy to be with anger. Also they were introverts, and the majority were
belong to the only one child in a family (89.3%). Moreover the parents
disciplined their children more strictly (76.8%). The abdominal pain
subsided after all the children tested could not attain the goal of not
having a meal.
Conclusion: Those children, who are
introverts, easy to be with anger, whose minds are not at rest, and whose
parents usually force them to have a meal, are easier to suffer from this
kind of abdominal pain. The effective treatments are to let them relax.
