family and parental attitudes are significant predictors of the presence of diseases and
psychosomatic symptoms in children. These cross-sectional studies, Study 1 and 2,
examined how the environment and family attitudes exert this influence on the health of
children. Were applied FES, CSI-24, PSI-Life’s Stress scales, the survey APAD (in
development), a demographic questionnaire and a questionnaire on psychosomatic

showed association with psychosomatic manifestations, including life events such as: the
number of marriages, the death of a close family member, the entry into a new job,
changing of a person’s family at home, marital separation, psychiatric illness, or
characteristics of the family environment as family conflict, organization, control,
achievement orientation and cohesion. In Study 2, exploratory analyzes were conducted on
divorced parents, on environment factors and psychosomatic manifestations. Additionally,
we conducted some exploratory analysis on the validity of the instrument APAD. Findings
suggested that some socio-environmental factors and some parental attitudes influence the
manifestation of diseases and psychosomatic symptoms in children.
