Health anxiety and somatosensory amplification in adolescents with unexplained chest pain: A comparative study.
Background and objectives: Chest pain of unknown origin in adolescents might be related to biopsychosocial factors. The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between somatic amplification of bodily sensations and health anxiety in adolescents with unexplained chest pain.
Method: The study analysed 111 adolescents with unexplained chest pain at a paediatric cardiology outpatient clinic from June to September 2018, along with a control group of 78 cases. Participants completed a questionnaire featuring the somatosensory amplification scale and a short health anxiety inventory.
Results: When comparing the total scores on the somatosensory amplification scale, it was observed that health anxiety and general anxiety scores were higher in the chest pain group. Additionally, the prevalence of suicidal thoughts was found to be more common among adolescents experiencing chest pain.
Discussion: Our results highlight the significance of general practitioners taking into account psychosocial factors in adolescents who present with unexplained chest pain and collaborating with them to recognise and address anxiety and suicidal ideation.
