Delivery of evidence-based interventions for psychological distress in persons living with IBD: a roadmap for human-centred design and implementation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammatory bowel disease-related psychological distress (IBD-PD) refers to the emotional impact of IBD and has been shown to be associated with increased disease severity, comorbid mental health disorders, and increased mortality.

Aims

This study aims to identify the facilitators for accessing evidence-based interventions for IBD-PD to inform the design and implementation of patient-centred models for IBD mental health support in the future.

Methods

This was a qualitative research study in which a semistructured interview script was developed by a multidisciplinary team guided by the domains of the COM-B Behaviour Change Wheel framework. Using thematic analysis, codes were generated to identify themes using an inductive approach.
