Analysis of the status quo and influencing factors of benefit finding in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of benefit finding(BF)in pa-tients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).Methods A total of 288 IBD patients who were treated in the Department of Gastroenterology of a top three hospital in Binzhou City,Shandong Province from January 2021 to October 2022 were selected,and the IBD patients were investigated by questionnaire.Results The BFS and self-management ability scores of IBD patients were(55.67±20.57)and(108.47±27.93),respectively.There were statistically significant differences in BFS scores among patients with different educational levels,occupations,family origins,family monthly income,and payment methods(P<0.05).Educational level,family monthly income and self-management ability were the influencing factors of BFS score in IBD patients(P<0.05).The total score of BFS in IBD patients was positively correlated with the total score of self-management ability(r=0.773,P<0.001).Conclusion The level of BF in IBD patients is below the middle level,which needs to be further improved.
