“…The findings highlighted absenteeism and the negative effect of pain on the ability of students to engage in certain activities as the most important problems that children who have chronic pain face. This is consistent with other studies reporting these as important difficulties in young people with chronic pain . Future researchers should look at developing and evaluating strategies that teachers may use to help their students experiencing chronic pain cope with absenteeism.…”

“…Children with chronic pain often significantly decrease the amount of time spent in activities with peers, including sports and other extracurricular activities [1]. Children who miss significant periods of school due to pain may experience loss of friendships, feel more isolated, are less well-liked, and are less socially accepted than their healthy peers [3,89]. Across a variety of studies, children with chronic pain have reported having fewer friends, were more likely to be victimized by peers, were more isolated, and were evaluated as less likable than healthy peers [90].…”

Pediatric chronic pain is a significant problem associated with substantial functional impairment. A variety of risk factors have been found to be associated with chronic pain in youth. The greatest amount of evidence appears to support that temperament, anxiety, depression, subjective experience of stress, passive coping strategies, sleep problems, other somatic-related problems, and parent and/or family factors are important variables. However, a great deal of this research focuses on a single risk factor or on multiple risk factors in isolation. Much of the literature utilizes older diagnostic criteria and would benefit from replication, larger sample sizes, and comparison across pain disorders. Problems also exist with disagreement across definitions, resulting in inconsistency or unclear use of terms. Furthermore, recent consideration has suggested that outcome measures should include functional disability in addition to pain. A second generation of research is needed to shed light on the complex interactions that likely play a role in the transition from acute to chronic pain. Building on recent calls for changes in research in this area, we propose the next steps for this research, which involve consideration of both biopsychosocial and developmental contexts.

“…Other research has also confirmed that, for example, functional abdominal pain in adolescents can have an impact on various school activities, for instance, gym classes and after-school activities, such as afternoon group classes (Assa, Ish-Tov, Rinawi, & Shamir, 2015). The school nurses wanted to normalize the situation, and the school work can be improved when the intervention focuses on a return to functioning (Claar, Kaczynski, Minster, McDonald-Nolan, & LeBel, 2013).…”

Chronic pain is common among Swedish adolescents, and stress is an independent factor in the onset and persistence of chronic pain. When Swedish school nurses conduct their health dialogs they have a unique opportunity to find adolescents with chronic pain. The aim of this study was to explore school nurses' and adolescents' experiences of factors that influence adolescent-centered pain management in school health care, when adolescents have chronic pain. The study context is schools in Sweden where primary health care is available through school nurses. A total of 15 school nurses and 15 adolescents participated in individual interviews, which were transcribed and analyzed by qualitative conventional content analysis. Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model was used to explain how these factors are directed at the individual or society. The results demonstrated eight different categories of factors that influenced the pain management. The categories focused mainly on the adolescents' micro-and mesosystems; few strategies were conducted on an exo-and macrosystem level. On the micro-and mesosystem levels, it was necessary to build trust to be able to influence the adolescents' behavior in the pain management. Pharmacological strategies were paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; non-pharmacological strategies were physical activities and stress-reducing activities. Research and practice involving a more holistic perspective, studying the possibilities of both change at the organizational level and individual support for adolescents, are essential.

School Attendance in Children With Functional Abdominal Pain and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Abstract: FAP has a significant impact on school attendance and functioning similar to IBD. These findings show that significant psychosocial and academic difficulties are faced not only by children with chronic diseases like IBD but also by children with FAP.
