description | Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). It carries a risk of annual relapses and multiple intense flares, which require lifelong treatment and, sometimes, surgical interventions. This affects patients negatively in various aspects of their functioning, and they are left with an increased risk of disturbed quality of life and mental illnesses. Aim This study is carried out to describe the prevalence and risk factors of anxiety and depression symptoms among adult patients with IBD at King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Qassim, Saudi Arabia, and to examine the relationship between mental illness and disease activity. Patient and methods This cross-sectional descriptive study targets adult patients with IBD attending a gastroenterology clinic and medical day care unit. A self-administered questionnaire was given to patients with the help of an IBD nurse. The questionnaire includes the patient's demographic data (i.e., age, gender, etc.), symptoms and treatment patterns, the General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) questionnaire to measure anxiety, and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to measure depression. Results Among the 179 IBD patients, 60.9% were males, and 40.8% were in the age group of 25-35 years. CD was the most prevalent IBD (73.2%). Perineal CD was detected in 45%. The prevalence of patients who were positive for anxiety symptoms was 17.3%, while the prevalence of depressive symptoms was 19.6%. The independent risk factor for anxiety was female gender, while the independent risk factor for depression was extraintestinal manifestation. The preventive factor for depression was treatment with IV medication. Conclusion Almost one-fifth of IBD patients were considered to have either anxiety or depression. Female gender was a risk factor for anxiety while extraintestinal manifestation of IBD was a risk factor for depression. Interestingly, treatment with IV medication was found to be the protective factor for depression. More investigations are warranted to give more insights regarding the prevalence and risk factors of psychological disorders among patients with IBD in our region. |
