摘要:

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is chronic, incurable, and requires that affected patients cope with their condition on a consistent basis. The purpose of this descriptive study was to predict the perceived health, functioning, and well-being among patients with IBD through the use and effectiveness of various coping methods. Forty-six patients with IBD completed the Jalowiec Coping Scale, the Health Status Questionnaire, and a demographic questionnaire. Results indicate that use of evasive fatalistic, and emotive coping methods along with optimistic coping effectiveness were significantly inversely correlated with health perception and well-being. No coping effectiveness variables and only the use of evasive, fatalistic, and supportive coping methods were significantly inversely correlated with perceived functioning. Regression analysis indicated that 20% of the variance in health perception could be predicted from the use of emotive coping method. Fatalistic coping method use explained 24% of the variance in perceived functioning. Finally, 51% of the variability in perceived well-being could be predicted from the use of fatalistic coping method and the effectiveness of optimistic method. These findings indicate that emotion-focused coping methods are important predictors of the health, functioning, and well-being perceptions of patients with IBD.

摘要:

In response to requests from the members of the local Crohn's and Colitis Foundation chapter, a nurse-facilitated support group was formed. Its goals were to provide support and information for people coping with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Despite the interest expressed by the membership, attendance at the monthly meetings was sporadic and sparse. Eventually the group ceased to exist. To understand why the group dissolved, each member was interviewed and asked the following open-ended questions: (1) What did you want from a support group? (2) Why did you not attend meetings regularly? (3) What, if anything, would have kept you coming to the group? Despite coping with IBD, most people described a normal life in which support from the family and established relationships was sufficient to meet their needs. Extra support, such as group support, was only perceived to be needed at certain key times. Innovative methods for providing support, when needed, are discussed.
