Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is 1) to determine whether a comprehensive self-management intervention is effective in a sample that includes men and women with irritable bowel syndrome, and 2) to determine whether the comprehensive self-management intervention is as effective when delivered over the telephone as compared to a face-to-face approach.

Study Arms (3)

1

EXPERIMENTAL

Face-to-Face Individualized Comprehensive Self-Management (CSM-FF) Group. Participants in the individualized CSM-FF group will be scheduled for 9 weekly sessions with the nurse therapist followed by post-intervention follow-up assessment.

Behavioral: cognitive-behavioral

2

EXPERIMENTAL

Telephone Individualized Comprehensive Self-Management (CSM-TEL) Group. Participants in the individualized CSM-FTF group will initially have 2 face-to-face meetings with the nurse therapist, 6 sessions over the phone and the final session face-to-face at 9 weeks.

Behavioral: cognitive-behavioral

3

NO INTERVENTION

Usual Care Control Group (UC). Following randomization the participants in the control group will receive two short phone calls to maintain contact during the comparable 9-week intervention in the treatment groups.

Behavioral: cognitive-behavioral

Interventions

Cognitive-behavioral over 9 weeks
