| الوصف: | Summary Information on quality of life in inflammatory bowel disease is limited. Despite the clear importance of this topic to patients, quality of life measurement is seldom undertaken in day‐to‐day management of patients or included in clinical trials. Although previous reviews have dealt with quality of life, the area of psychosocial functioning has not been specifically addressed. The aim of this study was to review the psychosocial factors affecting quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, using an electronic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and psycINFO. Of the 751 articles identified by the search, 107 were considered relevant and included in the review. A number of psychosocial factors appear to be important, including gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity and perceived stress. To improve the quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, clinicians’ attention needs to be drawn towards this subject, with an awareness of those patient groups more vulnerable to impaired quality of life. These identified variables also represent important factors, which should be adjusted for when conducting research into quality of life in these patients. |
