Children with functional encopresis generally do not exhibit significant behavior problems. This finding supports pediatricians managing encopresis treatment plans effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Child Psychology

Background:

  • Functional encopresis is a common pediatric condition.
  • Behavioral issues can complicate treatment for encopresis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the prevalence of behavior problems in children with functional encopresis.
  • To determine if children with encopresis have more behavioral issues than typical children.

Main Methods:

  • Compared behavioral checklist scores of children with encopresis, children with behavior problems, and a control group.
  • All samples were matched for age and gender.

Main Results:

  • Children with encopresis showed no significant difference in behavior scores compared to a normative sample.

  • Encopretic children had significantly lower behavior problem scores than the behavior problem sample (P < .00001).

    • Conclusions:

    • The study supports the trend of pediatricians managing functional encopresis.
    • Pediatric primary care is appropriate for treating encopresis without significant behavioral comorbidities.
