Randomized trial reports protocol evaluating online acceptance and commitment therapy in inflammatory bowel disease, highlighting digital strategies to improve quality of life.

Experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion, shame, and self-criticism have been identified as possible therapeutic targets for improving mental health in people with IBD. Traditional face-to-face psychological therapy continues to provide obstacles for patients seeking assistance. Online psychological therapies centered on acceptance, mindfulness, and compassion have been shown to improve psychological distress in other populations.
