Chronic abdominal painChronic abdominal pain• Defined as intermittent or constant abdominal
pain of at least 3 months duration (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2005)
• Psychosocial factors influence illness in CAP patients
• Negative life events
• Competence may serve as moderator

HypothesesHypotheses
• 1) higher levels of personal stress will be associated with poorer patient outcomes at follow-up including more emotional symptoms, somatic symptoms, and disability
• 2) personal competence will moderate the effect of life stress on patient outcomes, such that life stress will be associated with poorer outcomes in patients with low competence compared to those with high competence
• 1) higher levels of personal stress will be associated with poorer patient outcomes at follow-up including more emotional symptoms, somatic symptoms, and disability
• 2) personal competence will moderate the effect of life stress on patient outcomes, such that life stress will be associated with poorer outcomes in patients with low competence compared to those with high competence

MeasuresMeasures
• SF-36 Health Survey- assesses functioning and emotions of participants
• Child/adult Somatization Inventory-assesses the severity of nonspecific somatic symptoms most commonly reported by children with chronic abdominal pain
• Functional Disability Inventory- assesses the extent to which functional disability limits a child in different activities

Measures (cont.)Measures (cont.)
• Life Events Questionnaire (LEQ)- assesses negative life events in the past year
• Self-Perception Profile For Adults/Adolescents- assesses perceived global and domain-specific competence
• Life Events Questionnaire (LEQ)- assesses negative life events in the past year

LimitationsLimitations
• Competence is a self-report measure
• Cross-sectional study
• Life events were assessed for year preceding interview
• Limited generalizability
