Key Points

This study aims to analyze how a digital self-management program affects quality of life in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease by exploring cognitive, behavioural, and emotional pathways.
Conducted a randomized controlled trial involving 780 adults with inflammatory bowel disease.
Participants were assigned to either the IBD-BOOST digital self-management program or treatment as usual.
Measured primary outcome of IBD-related quality of life at six months using UKIBDQ.
Applied hierarchical regression models to assess mediation effects on quality of life.
No total effect of the intervention on quality of life was observed at six months.
Significant indirect effects on quality of life were identified through illness perceptions, self-efficacy, and IBD-specific anxiety.
Behavioural responses such as all-or-nothing and avoidance/resting also showed indirect positive effects on quality of life.
