Abstract

Background: In the etiology of functional chest pain (FCP), parental personality traits are worth considering in the context of the biopsychosocial model. The alpha factor sub-dimension of the five-factor personality model (5FPM) includes agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism. There is increasing evidence that this dimension may be related to psychosomatic diseases. It was aimed to investigate how maternal personality traits affect adolescents with FCP. The hypothesis was determined that adolescents diagnosed with FCP can have lower quality of life and be more depressive/anxious and their mothers can have factor-alpha personality traits and be more depressive/anxious.
