Descriptive cross-sectional study shows suboptimal self-care management in inflammatory bowel disease patients, indicating the need for tailored interventions.
Inflammatory bowel disease patients demonstrated adequate self-care maintenance and monitoring, but their self-care management was suboptimal. Female gender and supplement use were associated with better self-care monitoring; disease activity worsened self-care maintenance. Ulcerative colitis patients had better self-care management than CD, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to improve self-care.
