The article describes the problems of psychosomatic illness in children, which is apparent more often at school, as can be shown by the case of Kasia described in the work. The human psyche plays the dominant role in the onset of the illness, and unresolved conflicts, traumas and negative emotions are especially important. A child suffering from psychosomatic pain suffers no less than a person with somatic pain, and the organ in pain symbolizes the child’s problem. How to read the symbols and how to help a child at school are among the questions raised in the article.

Artykuł porusza problematykę chorób psychosomatycznych u dzieci, które coraz częściej występują i przejawiają się w szkole, czego przykładem jest omówiony przypadek Kasi. W powstawaniu tego rodzaju schorzeń dominującą rolę odgrywa psychika, a szczególnie nierozwiązane konflikty, urazy i, wiążące się z nimi, niewyrażone negatywne emocje. Dziecko chore psychosomatycznie cierpi nie mniej niż chory somatycznie, a bolący narząd symbolicznie odnosi się do problemu, z jakim dziecko musi się zmierzyć. Jak odczytać tę symbolikę i w jaki sposób pomóc dziecku choremu psychosomatycznie w szkole, to jedna z kilku kwestii, poruszonych w tym artykule.

Objectives Many facts indicate the important role of psychosomatic symptoms that occur due to traumatic events. This study is an analysis of the coexistence of psychosomatic symptoms and traumatic events. Though not every person taking part in these events develops a fully symptomatic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychosomatic symptoms with a strong psychological component are observed in many. This study focuses on a comparison of the intensity of somatization, anxiety, depression, and distress of medical university students, who encountered a traumatic event and those who have not experienced trauma. Material and Methods The data was collected from 594 students of different academic majors at the Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poland. The participants were asked if they had experienced situations that caused psychological trauma as well as about the intensity of their psychosomatic symptoms. The data was collected with 2 questionnaires: Post-traumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale and Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire. Results The study reveals that 78% of students experienced a traumatic event, in 15% moderate and severe symptoms of PTSD are observed, 45% presents average and high stress levels, 23% experiences symptoms of depression, whereas 30% has anxiety and 26% somatic symptoms. Conclusions Studies show that experiencing traumatic events in life is linked to the higher intensity of an/the entire range of psychosomatic symptoms.
