“…Sample symptoms include ‘hands shaking’ and ‘nausea.’ Higher total scores reflect greater levels of somatization. Although the MSPQ was originally developed for use with chronic back pain populations (Main, ) it has since been used extensively in both clinical and research settings with a variety of populations (Jansson‐Fröjmark & MacDonald, ). Previous research has demonstrated that the MSPQ has sufficient construct and discriminative validity, as well as internal consistency (Main, ).…”

“…Previous research has demonstrated that the MSPQ has sufficient construct and discriminative validity, as well as internal consistency (Main, ). The items have been shown to load on factors of general somatic arousal and stomach symptoms/nausea, but these correlate substantially and the total score serves as a single measure of somatic symptoms (Jansson‐Fröjmark & MacDonald, ; Main, ). In our study, the MSPQ demonstrated good internal reliability with weekly alphas ranging from .83 to .90.…”

Somatic Symptoms Mediate the Relationship Between Health Anxiety and Health-Related Quality of Life over Eight Weeks

Previous research has indicated that at clinical levels, health anxiety is cross-sectionally correlated with both somatic symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). However, research has not tested mediational models of how health anxiety may lead to diminished HRQOL prospectively, and more broadly outside of clinical contexts. In the context of an eight-week prospective diary study of 118 subclinical adults, we examined whether somatic symptoms mediate the relationship between health anxiety and both same-week HRQOL and week-to-week change in HRQOL. Multilevel modelling indicated that somatic symptoms fully mediated the relationship between HA and HRQOL concurrently and over time. Even after accounting for depressive symptoms, individuals who were predisposed to experience illness preoccupation and oversensitivity to bodily sensations were at risk for higher somatic symptoms and thereby poorer levels of perceived health. Thus, both health anxiety and somatic symptoms may be an important target for interventions seeking to improve HRQOL in subclinical populations. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The number of immigrants in Italy has doubled every 10 years from 1972 and Genoa hosts two large communities of immigrants from South America and Africa. We investigated differences in the somatic perception between immigrants and Italians and between South Americans and Africans living in the city of Genoa. During a 7 month period, an anonymous questionnaire asking for sociodemographic information and the Modified Somatic Perception Questionnaire (MSPQ) were administered to all immigrants accessing an outpatient clinic or the general practitioners offices. MSPQ mean scores were significantly higher in immigrant patients than in Italian patients, after adjusting for sex and age differences. We found no differences between South Americans and Africans in MSPQ score. The tendency to express discomfort through physical symptoms appears to be related to being a foreigner who arrived in Italy through a migratory trip and also to being a person who comes from a cultural context that is very different from the one of developed countries.
