Research Abstract |
Almost 40%of the students showed changes of their bowel symptoms in three years and the prevalence of adolescent irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)was about 20%. The students with continuous IBS symptoms showed significantly lower self-efficacy and health-related quality of life (HR-QOL), more sleep disturbance, perceived stress, traumatic episodes and alexithymic tendency than the students without abdominal symptoms, however, the students with passing IBS symptoms didn' t have these features. The early onset and/or the sustainment of IBS symptoms may induce low self-efficacy and impaired HR-QOL.
