“…Treatment of these problems may increase treatment compliance and prevent conflicts that may occur within the family in relation to these problems because a lot of studies pointed the impact of child behavior related to family conflicts [46–48]. On the other hand, familial factors such as maternal depression and/or anxiety symptoms are associated with elimination disorders at school age and including factors related to family functioning must be included in the psychological intervention [49]. …”

Functional constipation is an issue for both the patient and his/her family, affecting the patient's psychoemotional balance, social relations, and their harmonious integration in the school environment. We aimed to highlight the connection between chronic constipation and encopresis and the patient's psychosocial and family-related situation. Material and Method. 57 patients with ages spanning from 6 to 15 were assessed within the pediatric gastroenterology ward. Sociodemographic, medical, and psychological data was recorded. The collected data was processed using the SPSS 20 software. Results. The study group consisted of 57 children diagnosed with encopresis (43 boys (75.44%) and 14 girls (24.56%)), M = 10.82 years. It was determined that most of the children came from urban families with a poor socioeducational status. We identified a level of studies of 11.23 ± 5.56 years in mothers, while fathers had an average number of 9.35 ± 4.53 years of study. We also found a complex relationship between encopretic episodes and school performances (F = 7.968, p = 0.001, 95% Cl). Children with encopresis were found to have more anxiety/depression symptoms, greater social problems, more disruptive behavior, and poorer school performance. Conclusions. The study highlights the importance of the family environment and socioeconomic factors in manifestations of chronic constipation and encopresis.

Les troubles de la défécation sont une cause fréquente de consultation en pédiatrie. Par ce terme on entend toutes les difficultés à éliminer la nourriture ne pouvant être expliquées par des causes organiques ou biochimiques uniquement. Des troubles typiques de ce spectre sont la constipation chronique, les douleurs à la défécation, les lésions péri-anales ou des selles de gros calibre. Peuvent aussi se manifester une perte d’appétit, des douleurs abdominales récidivantes, une encoprésie ou énurésie. Chez les enfants avec des troubles fonctionnels de la défécation apparaissent souvent des symptômes secondaires sous forme de troubles du comportement tels un comportement oppositionnel ou agressif, mais aussi anxieux, dépressif ou de retrait relationnel.

“…For example, family therapy interventions include psychoeducation about encopresis, teaching parents how to utilize a reward system to reinforce appropriate toileting behaviors, and assessing the familial factors that may contribute to the encopresis problem. Research suggests that family therapy interventions be included as a central component of encopresis treatment to reduce a child's perception that they are the problem (Akdemir, Kultur, Temizel, Zeki, & Dinc, 2015).…”

Children who experience enuresis and encopresis can face many difficulties, including social isolation, shame, embarrassment, anxiety, and depression. Due to the prevalence of enuresis and encopresis, it is essential for mental health professionals to understand the common symptoms and available treatment options for enuresis and encopresis, particularly to assist parents struggling to help their children overcome these challenges. Despite this need, there is very little clinical literature that incorporates a systemic approach for families who have a child diagnosed with enuresis and encopresis. Furthermore, common treatment approaches may unwittingly reinforce children’s perception that these problems are rooted in their identity. In an effort to address these concerns, the present case study aims to illustrate how a narrative therapy approach was utilized to effectively treat a child with enuresis and encopresis. Narrative therapy can uniquely assist children and their parents by helping them externalize the problem, overcome the problem-saturated view of their lives, and create new experiences where the problem is nonexistent.

Familial psychological factors are associated with encopresis

Abstract: Family functioning may be screened in children with encopresis, especially when standard interventions have had limited success. Identification and treatment of familial factors may enhance the treatment efficacy in encopresis.
