Abstract

Background: Although the association between somatic complaints and internalizing problems (anxiety, somatic anxiety and depression) is well established, it remains unclear whether the pattern of this relationship differs by gender and in different cultures. The aim of this study was to examine cross-cultural and gender-specific differences in the association between somatic complaints and internalizing problems in youth from the Czech Republic and Russia.

Methods: The Social and Health Assessment, a self-report survey, was completed by representative community samples of adolescents, age 12-17 years, from the Czech Republic (N = 4770) and Russia (N = 2728).

Results: A strong association was observed between somatic complaints and internalizing psychopathology. Although the levels of internalizing problems differed by country and gender, they increased together with and largely in a similar way to somatic complaints for boys and girls in both countries.

Conclusion: The association between somatic symptoms and internalizing problems seems to be similar for boys and girls across cultures.

城市青年的躯体症状和内化问题:捷克和俄罗斯青少年的跨文化比较

背景:虽然躯体抱怨和内化问题(焦虑、躯体焦虑和抑郁)之间的联系已经确立，但这种关系的模式是否因性别和不同文化而异仍不清楚。本研究的目的是研究捷克共和国和俄罗斯青年的躯体抱怨和内化问题之间的跨文化和性别差异。方法:社会与健康评估是一项自我报告调查，由来自捷克共和国(N = 4770)和俄罗斯(N = 2728)的12-17岁青少年的代表性社区样本完成。结果:躯体主诉与内化精神病理之间存在密切联系。虽然内化问题的程度因国家和性别而异，但在这两个国家，这些问题与男孩和女孩的身体抱怨一起增加，而且基本上以类似的方式增加。结论:在不同文化的男孩和女孩中，躯体症状和内化问题之间的联系似乎是相似的。
