Cohort observational study finds psychological stress perception linked to demographic factors in Crohn disease patients, suggesting implications for treatment.
The present study aimed to investigate how patients suffering from Crohn disease felt themselves as psychological supported and if psychological stress perception could vary according demographic characteristic. An on-line, observational, cross sectional study was carried out by publicizing the questionnaire created through social networks from October 2021 to February 2022. A total of 785 participants were enrolled in the present study. Of these, no significant differences were reported between subjects who felt themselves as psychologically supported and subjects who did not feel as psychologically supported. By considering all the sampling characteristics collected and the stress perceived levels, only with reference to sex, significant association was found (p=.021). The present study revealed compromised aspects of the quality of life in patients suffered from Crohn disease and its related psycho-physical sequelae, which allowed to lay the foundations for further studies, studying the comorbidity of this disease with other factors, too.
