- The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between self-reported schoolwork pressure and family factors with psychosomatic problems, and to investigate possible moderators of these associations. We examined self-efficacy as a personal resource that may be directly associated with psychosomatic problems, as well as serve as a moderator between stress exposure and psychosomatic problems. Furthermore, we examined sex as a possible moderator. The data were collected in 2010 among 2,004 pupils, aged between 13 and 15 years, in all schools in the municipality of Karlstad, Sweden. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that self-efficacy did not moderate the relationships between any of the school- and family-related factors and psychosomatic problems. However, self-efficacy had a direct effect on psychosomatic problems. Based on the results from the study, we concluded that health promoting and preventive work by the school health team should focus on strengthening pupils' self-efficacy and target schoolwork pressure. Special attention needs to be given to girls and adolescents living with a single parent or no parents.
