Abstract

The study focused on comparing the prevalence and type of psychosomatic symptoms in Czech students aged 14 to 19 years (N = 459) without and with specific learning disabilities (SpLDs), as well as their tendencies towards selected coping strategies. No statistically significant differences were found in the prevalence and type of psychosomatic symptoms between students without SpLDs (n = 366) and those with SpLDs (N = 93). The most common psychosomatic symptoms reported by both groups under stress were abdominal pain (61%; N = 459), extreme fatigue (60%; N = 459), tremor (56%; N = 459) and headache (53%; N = 459), with the frequency of occurrence ranging from sometimes to very often. There were no differences observed in the use of negative and positive coping strategies during stressful situations, except for alcohol use, which was more prevalent among students without SpLDs (p = 0.024). Correlations were found between anxiety, withdrawal and crying, and the six most frequent psychosomatic symptoms. Furthermore, students with SpLDs more frequently reported attempting to eliminate the cause of the problem (80%; N = 93) and searching for different solutions (80%; N = 93). Therefore, the study's findings suggest that SpLDs do not present a higher risk for increased psychosomatic symptoms or a preference for negative coping strategies.

有和没有特殊学习障碍的 14 至 19 岁捷克学生在压力环境下的心身症状和应对策略比较
这项研究的重点是比较无特殊学习障碍(SpLDs)和有特殊学习障碍(SpLDs)的 14 至 19 岁捷克学生(人数 = 459)的心身症状发生率和类型,以及他们采用特定应对策略的倾向。没有特殊学习障碍的学生(366 人)和有特殊学习障碍的学生(93 人)在心身症状的发生率和类型方面没有发现明显的统计学差异。两组学生在压力下最常见的心身症状是腹痛(61%;459 人)、极度疲劳(60%;459 人)、震颤(56%;459 人)和头痛(53%;459 人),出现频率从偶尔到非常频繁不等。除了酗酒在无特殊学习障碍的学生中更为普遍(p = 0.024)外,在压力情况下使用消极和积极应对策略方面没有观察到差异。焦虑、退缩和哭泣与六种最常见的心身症状之间存在相关性。此外,有特殊学习障碍的学生更经常报告试图消除问题的原因(80%;93 人)和寻找不同的解决方法(80%;93 人)。因此,研究结果表明,有特殊学习障碍的学生不会有更高的心身症状增加的风险,也不会更倾向于消极的应对策略。
