Brief Summary

Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) have poorer quality of life than healthy people. Despite the high prevalence of psychological issues and its profound influence on quality of life, most IBD patients have limited access to mental health support. As well, many may decline support if it is offered because mental health is often not thought of as part of IBD care. Patients may be able to access cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) through a psychologist, however this intervention is costly and requires considerable commitment on the part of person with IBD. There is a need for new methods of reaching IBD patients to provide information on their psychological needs, and normalize the psychological effects of IBD. These new methods should integrate medical issues with psychosocial issues while being effective, scalable, and low cost to the health care system. 90SecondIBD is a novel way of delivering health information about IBD using Persuasive Design technology embedded in a planned behavior model. This project will investigate the effect of the intervention "90SecondIBD", a weekly online health letter, on IBD patients' quality of life and self efficacy. Regression modelling will be performed to explore the ability of clinical and demographic factors to predict quality of life and self efficacy scores following receipt of 90SecondIBD educational health letters weekly for 6 months and 12 months.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • IBD Specific Quality of life

    IBD specific quality of life, measured using the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ). The SIBDQ comprises a total of 10 questions grouped into four domains: bowel symptoms, emotional health, systemic systems and social function. Each question is scored by a 7-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 7, giving an absolute score ranging from 10 (poor health related QoL) to 70 (optimal health related QoL).

  • Self Efficacy

    Participant self-efficacy rating measured using the 'New General Self Efficacy Scale'. Min score: 1, max score: 8. A higher score indicates a greater self-efficacy.

90Second IBD

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive 90SecondIBD weekly at no charge via text message or email linked to a website.

Other: 90Second IBD

Interventions

Patients will receive 90SecondIBD weekly at no charge via text message or email linked to a website.Each 90SecondIBD letter has an attractive photo, 250 words of targeted information on a specific topic and 3 specific action suggestions on the first page. The second page is a seven-item quiz on attitudes and behavior on the designated topic. The reader gets immediate feedback and advice. The third page is a personal story of someone with IBD about this topic. Finally, there is an evaluation of the specific 90SecondIBD issue and an opportunity to recommend topics.
