Brief Summary

In the context of the care of children or adolescents with unexplained chronic pain, it is not uncommon to find that some patients confide in past or present school bullying. School bullying can have devastating consequences. Often taboo or not taken into account, it can lead to school phobia with dropout, extreme moral suffering or even reactive physical disorders. Loss of confidence, withdrawal into oneself can develop major depressive syndromes that can lead to suicidal thoughts and acting out. The Mouv'on project offers these children/adolescents the opportunity to experience the art of movement, on the border between martial arts and dance (group sessions) and creative art (production of a street-art fresco) in order to regain confidence, restore the link to the other, discover or re-discover the relationship to the body. It is indeed a parenthesis of relaxation, movement, breathing and meeting. The meeting of the child with himself but also with a group. The objectives of the study are to assess the benefits of the workshops offered to children and adolescents on self-esteem and on the feeling of pain and the impact of pain on daily behavior.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Assessment of self-esteem

  We will use the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI), a self-administered questionnaire designed to measure attitudes toward the self in a variety of areas for children and adolescents. The CSEI consists of 58 items and yields an overall score and four separate scores representing specific aspects of self-esteem, namely, general self, social self-peers, home parents, and school academic. A set of eight additional items constitutes a lie scale. Each item is worth 2 points, making possible total scores range from 0 - 100, with higher scores relating to higher self-esteem. This questionnaire will be completed during the two individual interviews of the patient, before and 1 month after the workshops, in order to assess the benefits of workshops on self-esteem. Success will be defined for an average increase in score of 10% at the end of the workshops.
