AB  - OBJECTIVES: Abdominal pain adversely impacts children with functional 
      gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) or organic gastrointestinal disorders (OGIDs); 
      findings are inconsistent regarding diagnosis and health-related quality of life 
      (HRQoL). This study utilizes a positive psychology framework to understand the 
      experience of youth with abdominal pain (i.e., do positive psychological factors, 
      such as optimism and pain self-efficacy, relate to higher HRQoL?). Consistent 
      with a protective factor model of resilience, in which personal assets may serve 
      as buffers between risk factors and negative outcomes, optimism and pain 
      self-efficacy were examined as they relate to HRQoL in youth with abdominal pain. 
      Specifically, exploratory moderational analyses examined a) if optimism and pain 
      self-efficacy moderate the relation between pain and HRQoL, and b) whether 
      diagnostic status moderated the relation between optimism/pain self-efficacy and 
      HRQoL. METHODS: In a cross-sectional, observational study, youth (n = 98; 
      M(age) = 13, SD = 3) experiencing abdominal pain related to FGIDs or OGIDs and 
      one of their parents participated. Measures included pain intensity, optimism, 
      pain self-efficacy, and HRQoL. Analyses controlled for diagnosis, age, and 
      gender. RESULTS: Higher pain and age related to lower HRQoL. Higher levels of 
      optimism and pain self-efficacy associated with HRQoL beyond demographics. 
      Optimism and pain self-efficacy did not moderate the relation between pain and 
      HRQoL. Diagnostic status did not moderate the relation between optimism or pain 
      self-efficacy and HRQoL. DISCUSSION: Our results suggest positive relations 
      between positive psychological factors (optimism, pain self-efficacy) and HRQoL 
      in youth with abdominal pain. Such factors could be further examined in 
      intervention studies.
