The purpose of the current study was to examine prediction power of psychological factors (i.e., alexithymia and psychological distress) on fibromyalgia among high school students. A cross-sectional, correlational design was used. Data related to alexithymia, psychological distress, and fibromyalgia were collected from 483 high school students from the northern part of Jordan using stratified cluster random sampling. Results showed that psychological distress is a significant predictor of fibromyalgia (odds ratio = 1.1, < 0.001). Significant differences were found between males and females in relation to alexithymia ( = -4.87, < 0.001), psychological distress ( = -6.0, < 0.001), and fibromyalgia (χ = 4.14, = 0.04, phi = 0.07). Age was only significantly correlated with alexithymia ( = 0.06, < 0.05). Given the relationship among psychological distress, alexithymia, and fibromyalgia, mental health professionals should carefully observe psychological disturbances among high school students.

本研究旨在考察心理因素（即述情障碍和心理困扰）对高中生纤维肌痛的预测能力。采用了横断面相关性设计。通过分层整群随机抽样，从约旦北部的 483 名高中生中收集了与述情障碍、心理困扰和纤维肌痛相关的数据。结果表明，心理困扰是纤维肌痛的一个重要预测因素（比值比=1.1，<0.001）。在述情障碍（= -4.87，<0.001）、心理困扰（= -6.0，<0.001）和纤维肌痛（χ=4.14，=0.04，phi=0.07）方面，男女之间存在显著差异。年龄仅与述情障碍显著相关（=0.06，<0.05）。鉴于心理困扰、述情障碍和纤维肌痛之间的关系，心理健康专业人员应仔细观察高中生的心理障碍。[(8), 19-25.]。
