The Influence of the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases on the Perceived Stress and Quality of Life in a Sample of the South-Western Romanian Population
Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) represent a category of chronic diseases of gastrointestinal tract with a long-term evolution which includes flares and periods of remission. The aim of the study is to identify and quantify the relationship between IBD status, perceived stress, coping m...

description | Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) represent a category of chronic diseases of gastrointestinal tract with a long-term evolution which includes flares and periods of remission. The aim of the study is to identify and quantify the relationship between IBD status, perceived stress, coping mechanisms, and patients QOL. Methods: Cross-sectional study on two samples consisting of 70 IBD patients monitored in the Gastroenterology Department of the Emergency Clinical County Hospital Craiova, Romania, respectively 70 healthy volunteers. Collected data include socio-demographic details, personal and familial medical history, clinical status, presumed risk factors, perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale-PSS), coping strategies (COPE questionnaire) and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL-SF-36 scale). Results: Perceived stress was considerably higher on IBD subjects (p<0.0001). The assessment of HRQOL has shown that patients had the best perception over their physical and emotional domains of SF-36 (p<0.0001), while the most often coping mechanisms used are those from the problem-focused category. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between increased activity of IBD and higher level of stress, that led to the development of problem-focused coping strategies. We did not find a strong correlation between lower HRQOL levels and the items considered as potential risk factors. |
