description | Multidisciplinary care is recommended for optimal pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) care, including psychosocial providers (eg, psychologists). However, health care professionals’ (HCPs) perceptions of and engagement with psychosocial providers in pediatric IBD is lacking. METHODS: Cross-sectional REDCap surveys were completed by HCPs (eg, gastroenterologists) across American ImproveCareNow (ICN) centers. Demographics and self-reported perceptions of and engagement with psychosocial providers were collected. Data were analyzed at participant and site levels through descriptives, frequencies, an independent t test, and exploratory analyses of variance. RESULTS: A total of 101 participants from 52% of ICN sites participated. Participants were 88% gastrointestinal physicians, 49% identifying as female, 94% non-Hispanic, and 76% Caucasian. Of ICN sites, 75% and 94% of sites reported outpatient and inpatient psychosocial care, respectively. Participants referred for various clinical reasons to psychosocial providers (eg, illness adjustment). At the participant level, 92% of HCPs reported psychosocial care was very important and 64% reported their clinical thresholds shifted to engage psychosocial providers earlier in care. Barriers to psychosocial care included limited psychosocial providers (92%), psychosocial providers availability (87%), and IBD patients’ lack of openness to psychosocial care (85%). One-way analyses of variance by HCP length of experiences were not statistically significant on perceived understanding of psychosocial providers or perceived changes in clinical threshold over time. CONCLUSION: HCPs overall reported positive perceptions of and frequent engagement with psychosocial providers in pediatric IBD. Limited psychosocial providers and other notable barriers are discussed. Future work should continue interprofessional education of HCPs and trainees and efforts to improve access to psychosocial care in pediatric IBD. |
