Cure8 research brief
Patient engagement in treatment decisions can affect satisfaction, adherence, and care planning. This study identifies practical factors (treatment options, trusted providers, community support) associated with higher engagement scores in people with IBD.
Clinicians and care teams treating adults with IBD (UC and Crohn's), patient advocates and support-group organizers, researchers studying shared decision-making and patient-reported engagement.
The researchers used a web-based questionnaire and regression analysis to explore which background factors correlate with PTES scores. Key positive associations included number of available treatment options, presence of complications, trust in the attending physician, number of trusted healthcare professionals, and availability of supportive communities.
Subgroup analysis suggested the number of treatment options had a larger influence for ulcerative colitis patients, while having more trusted healthcare professionals mattered more for Crohn’s disease patients.
Practical takeaway: The paper supports the idea that offering patients clear choices and building trust with care teams are linked with greater patient engagement. This may be useful when clinicians and care teams design consultations and support resources for people with IBD.
Structured content depth is abstract: the supplied text is an abstract from a journal article (BMC Research Notes). The study used a web questionnaire and regression analysis; this brief summarizes the abstract and does not reflect a full-text review of the complete paper.
