Abstract [eng] |
The intricate relationship between psychological and physical health in pediatric medicine is a focal point in understanding and addressing pediatric disorders. Psychosomatics in this context elucidates how emotional or mental factors significantly influence the onset, progression, or exacerbation of physical illnesses in children. A comprehensive grasp of these psychosomatic aspects is imperative for holistic pediatric care, as they profoundly impact disease outcomes, treatment adherence, and overall well-being. By recognising and addressing the psychosocial factors that contribute to the onset, progression, and management of pediatric disorders, healthcare providers can implement tailored interventions that promote, e.g. resilience, coping strategies, and adaptive functioning in pediatric patients and their families. Understanding the biopsychosocial framework of pediatric disorders is important for effective treatment methods and improved outcomes, as it necessitates a holistic approach that considers the interplay between biological, psychological, and social factors. Delving into the intricate interplay of psychosomatic aspects within pediatric disorders, this exploration illuminates diverse facets, including stress, family dynamics, coping mechanisms, and attachment theory. It offers insight into the manifestation and management of conditions such as headaches and migraine, chronic pain, and various other pediatric disorders. A nuanced understanding of these factors not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also informs personalised treatment strategies, ensuring better outcomes and improved quality of life for pediatric patients. |
