Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate how irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects fatigue scales and eating
habits in children and adolescents using Rome IV criteria.
Methods: Questionnaires and The PedsQLTM Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (MFS) have been given to 211 children and
adolescents aged 8 to 18 years old who were admitted to ○○ university Korean medicine hospital pediatric departments, from 29th, July, 2016 to 12th, August, 2016 to evaluate their eating habits and fatigue. Additionally, PASW statistics 18.0 were used to analyze influence of irritable bowel syndrome on eating habits and fatigue in children and adolescents by using chi-square test, independent t-test and linear regression.
Results: In total of 211 subjects, 29 (13.7%) were diagnosed with IBS according to the Rome IV criteria.
1. There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between IBS group and non-IBS group on a specific question in the eating habit questionnaire: the amount of sugar intake and the prevalence of IBS.
2. There was a statistically significant difference in general fatigue and cognitive fatigue categories when comparing the MFS subscores according to the prevalence of IBS.
Conclusions: Considering patients eating habits and fatigue is a necessary process for the successful treatment of irritable bowe syndrome. Korean medicine that maximizes quality of life while minimizing the potential risks to the patients of gastrointestinal disease should also include administrative interventions that may be helpful in the daily life of IBS patients.
