| Abstract (English): |
Background: Celiac disease (CD) triggers an autoimmune response in the body involving the immune system. Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate and compare the quality of life (QOL) in children with CD and those without CD. Additionally, the study aimed to contrast the self-reported QOL of children with CD with the assessments made by their parents. Methods: In this cross-sectional, case-control study, the QOL of children with CD, aged 6-12 years, was compared with that of ageand gender-matched children without CD. Additionally, the study involved a comparison of the QOL assessments reported by both parents and children. The Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (Kid-KINDL) was used to appraise QOL from the perspectives of both children and their parents. Specifically, the parents completed the Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC). Results: The present results indicated significant differences between children with and without CD in terms of QOL, psychological problems, attention, internalizing symptoms, and externalizing symptoms (as reported by the parents), as well as school performance, self-esteem, and emotional well-being (as reported by children) (P < 0.05). Furthermore, significant differences were observed in the QOL and self-esteem reports between children with CD and their parents (P < 0.05). Conclusions: This study offered valuable insights into the QOL, psychological disorders, and related factors in children with and without CD. Additionally, it underscored the tendency of parents with children suffering from CD to underestimate their children's QOL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

المقال يركز على جودة الحياة (QOL) والمشاكل النفسية لدى الأطفال المصابين بمرض السيلياك (CD) وغير المصابين به. يقدم دراسة مقطعية تقارن جودة الحياة للأطفال الذين تتراوح أعمارهم بين 6-12 سنة والذين تم تشخيصهم بمرض السيلياك مع أقرانهم من نفس العمر والجنس الذين لا يعانون من الحالة. تكشف النتائج عن اختلافات كبيرة في جوانب مختلفة من جودة الحياة، والمشاكل النفسية، وتقدير الذات، حيث غالبًا ما يبالغ الآباء في تقدير جودة حياة أطفالهم مقارنة بتقارير الأطفال الذاتية. تؤكد الدراسة على الحاجة إلى تدخلات فعالة لمعالجة التحديات العاطفية التي يواجهها الأطفال المصابون بمرض السيلياك وتبرز أهمية أخذ وجهات نظر كل من الأطفال والآباء في الاعتبار عند تقييم جودة الحياة.
