Eating disorders are a common problem in childhood. Swallowing phobia is characterised by fear of choking on having consumed food, liquids or tablets. Although they are considered a minor disorder and have low prevalence, there has been an increase in its incidence in children and adolescents in the past few years. The analysis of four cases treated in our day hospital for this specific phobia provides an assessment and the care necessary for its treatment and solution, in collaboration with other professionals and the family. The importance of the role that nurses have in the treatment of this psychological disorder is emphasised, as well admission to Day Units, the correct application of the treatment plan, the establishment of robust and reliable links with the family and the patient, and the motivation for therapeutic change by the whole family. It is essential to include the disorder in the differential diagnosis of eating disorders in children, as well as knowledge of this by community workers, in order to establish adequate early treatment to improve therapeutic outcomes.
饮食失调在儿童时期是一个常见问题。吞咽恐惧症的特征是害怕在食用食物、液体或药片时窒息。尽管它们被认为是一种轻微疾病且患病率较低，但在过去几年中，儿童和青少年中的发病率有所上升。对在我们日间医院接受治疗的四例这种特定恐惧症病例的分析，提供了与其他专业人员和家庭合作进行治疗和解决所需的评估及护理。强调了护士在治疗这种心理障碍中所起作用的重要性，包括入住日间病房、正确应用治疗计划、与家庭和患者建立稳固可靠的联系以及促使整个家庭产生治疗改变的动力。必须将该疾病纳入儿童饮食失调的鉴别诊断中，社区工作者也需要了解这一点，以便建立适当的早期治疗方法来改善治疗效果。
