Developing a Self-Management Intervention to Improve Health Outcomes for Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Part 3 Pilot Trial

Summary

This research is studying whether changing an individual's behaviors may have an impact as a treatment or outcome for inflammatory bowel disease. This research will increase the understanding of the role of a self-management program in improving health and health-related quality of life for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The study team hypothesizes: * the study will achieve a recruitment rate of 10 participants every 3 months * 70% participant retention at 24 weeks * 70% outcome data collection * 70% intervention completion * high acceptability

Interventions

• Behavioral
  Digital self-management program

  Participants will receive this 24-week digital self-management program that was developed for patients with inflammatory bowel disease in addition to standard care. The program will be accessed through the web or a mobile device and will include different modules that will help support in managing participant's symptoms and disease both in the short-term as well as helping to build habits and skills to support participants in managing disease long-term. Participants are not required to use the self-management program and may stop using it at any time without any penalty to standard inpatient treatment. Additionally, participants will be asked to complete a follow-up self-report questionnaire at week 8 and week 12, and a clinician assessment at week 12. After 24 weeks a final remote visit or video meeting will be completed.

• Behavioral
  Standard Care

  Participants will have baseline assessment of symptoms both based on self-report and a clinician's assessment, and review the electronic health record for standard of care inflammatory biomarker measurements. In addition, questionnaires will be collected and visit completed at 8,12, and 24-week follow-ups.
