This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluated a nurse-delivered self-management program for adults with inflammatory bowel disease, focusing on feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects. Among 55 participants, the program showed high satisfaction and feasibility, with significant improvements in functional impairment (mean change -15.1) compared to usual care, alongside enhancements in patient activation, self-regulation, and quality of life.
Key findings
- The self-management program achieved a satisfaction score of 91.1/100.
- Functional impairment improved significantly with a mean change of -15.1.
- Patient activation increased by 10.3 points compared to usual care.
- Quality of life improved by 4.6 points in the self-management group.
Why it matters
Self-management interventions may enhance patient outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease, addressing persistent symptoms that medical management alone may not resolve. Understanding their feasibility and acceptability is crucial for integrating such programs into routine care.
