To evaluate effects of mothers' and fathers' chronic pain on health outcomes in adult sons and daughters with a childhood history of functional abdominal pain (FAP).
Adults (n = 319; Mean age = 22.09 years) with a childhood history of FAP reported parental history of chronic pain and their own current health (chronic pain, somatic symptoms, disability, use of medication and health care, illness-related job loss).
Positive histories of maternal and paternal chronic pain were each associated with poorer health in sons and daughters, regardless of child or parent gender. Having 2 parents with chronic pain was associated with significantly poorer health than having 1 or neither parent with chronic pain.
Chronic pain in both mothers and fathers is associated with poor health and elevated health service use in young adults with a childhood history of FAP. Having both parents with chronic pain increases risk for adverse outcomes.
评估父母慢性疼痛对有儿童功能性腹痛病史的成年子女健康结果的影响。
有儿童功能性腹痛病史的成年人(n=319;平均年龄=22.09 岁)报告了父母慢性疼痛的病史以及他们自己目前的健康状况(慢性疼痛、躯体症状、残疾、用药和医疗保健的使用、与疾病相关的失业)。
母亲和父亲的慢性疼痛阳性史都与子女的健康状况较差有关,而与子女或父母的性别无关。有 2 位患有慢性疼痛的父母的健康状况明显差于有 1 位或没有父母患有慢性疼痛的情况。
患有儿童功能性腹痛病史的年轻成年人的父母双方都患有慢性疼痛与健康状况不佳和医疗服务使用增加有关。父母双方都患有慢性疼痛会增加不良结果的风险。
