Background: In general practice, psychological disorder (depression, anxiety, and somatoform) is often
undiagnosed. Comordity of psychological disorder and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders are relatively
high. Psycosocial factor plays a role in pathophysiology of the Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders,
although the causative correlation has not been establised. Somatosensory amplification is one of the risk
factors that explain the somatization process. This study was conducted to find out whether Psychiatric
Disorder influence the occurrence of somatosensory amplification, and what factors influence the occurrence
of somatosensory amplification of patients with epigastric pain.
Design and Method: Analytical research uses crossectional method. 180 Subjects with epigastric pain treated
at Poli IPD RSDK meeting the criteria were included in the study. Somatosensory amplification was measured
by Somatosensory Aplification Scale (SSAS), painful degree by Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Depression and
Anxiety by PPDGJ III, and Somatoform disorder by DSM IV, Depression degree by HDRS, Anxiety degree by
HARS. Data processing by SPSS-12 program, with significant limit 0,05.
