目的：检查感知的学术、社交和运动能力作为有复发性腹痛 (RAP) 病史的青少年和年轻人肠易激综合征 (IBS) 症状与功能障碍之间关系的潜在调节因素。方法：我们在 RAP 患者进行医学评估五年后，通过电话访谈评估 IBS 症状、能力和残疾。结果：对于男性和女性受试者，在感知学术能力水平较低时，症状和残疾之间的关系更强。此外，在女性中，在感知社会能力水平较低的情况下，症状与残疾之间的关系更强。在男性中，感知运动能力水平较低时这种关系更强。结论：感知能力调节 IBS 症状和功能障碍之间的关系。旨在提高患者担任各种角色的能力的干预措施可能有助于减少有肠易激综合症症状的青少年和年轻人的残疾。
Objective: To examine perceived academic, social, and athletic competence as potential moderators of the relation between symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional disability in adolescents and young adults with a history of recurrent abdominal pain (RAP).Methods: We assessed IBS symptoms, competence, and disability by telephone interview in RAP patients five years following their medical evaluation.Results: For both male and female subjects, the relation between symptoms and disability was stronger at lower levels of perceived academic competence. Furthermore, among females, the relation between symptoms and disability was stronger at lower levels of perceived social competence; among males, the relation was stronger at lower levels of perceived athletic competence.Conclusions: Perceived competence moderated the relation between IBS symptoms and functional disability. Interventions designed to enhance patient competence in various roles may be useful in reducing disability among adolescents and young adults with symptoms of IBS.
