The mental health of twenty siblings of children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was compared with a matched group of siblings of healthy children and adolescents. No significant differences were found as regards general psychopathology or behaviour problems. However, significant differences were found in certain areas, especially with regard to peer relations, mood and reliance. Self-esteem was also lower among the siblings of such IBD patients and they tended towards depression and physiological anxiety symptoms. There was no significant correlation between the degree of severity or the duration of the disease and psychopathology in the siblings. The results show that the mental health of siblings of children and adolescents with IBD may merit the attention of paediatricians.
将患有炎症性肠病（IBD）的儿童和青少年的20名兄弟姐妹的心理健康状况与一组匹配的健康儿童和青少年的兄弟姐妹进行了比较。在一般精神病理学或行为问题方面未发现显著差异。然而，在某些领域发现了显著差异，特别是在同伴关系、情绪和依赖方面。此类IBD患者的兄弟姐妹的自尊也较低，并且他们倾向于出现抑郁和生理性焦虑症状。疾病的严重程度或持续时间与兄弟姐妹的精神病理学之间没有显著相关性。结果表明，患有IBD的儿童和青少年的兄弟姐妹的心理健康状况可能值得儿科医生关注。
