title: [Psychosocial aspects of the so-called short-bowel syndrome in children].
abstract: In a retrospective study of 16 patients with (congenital) bowel pathology, aged 2 to 12, attention was paid to the psychosocial aspects of the short bowel syndrome. Parents were interviewed and parents' and teachers' reports of children's behavioural and emotional problems were obtained. Parents as well as children appeared to have reached a reasonable level of adjustment. Parents' emotions concerning the period of hospitalisation still appeared to be strikingly strong. Although most children did not show obvious psychopathology, problems were observed in the areas of behaviour and attention, interfering with optimal school functioning in the case of some children.
