Abstract
Background/Aims Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related knowledge empowers patients, providing the development of adaptative coping strategies. Recently, a more comprehensive questionnaire for evaluating IBD-related knowledge was developed, the IBD-KNOW. The main aim of our study was to translate to Portuguese and validate the IBD-KNOW questionnaire. We also explored the predictors of high scores of disease-related knowledge and the effect of knowledge on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and therapeutic adherence. Methods This is an observational, unicentric, and cross-sectional study. We translated and adapted the original English version of the IBD-KNOW questionnaire into Portuguese. Afterwards, IBD patients in the outpatient clinics were invited to fill out a multimodal form including the Portuguese version of IBD-KNOW, a visual analogue scale (VAS) of self-perceived knowledge, the Portuguese version of Short IBD Questionnaire (SIBDQ) and the Portuguese version of Morisky Adherence Scale 8-item (MMAS-8). Demographic and disease characteristics were collected. We assessed validity (through discriminate validity among non-IBD volunteers and correlation between IBD-KNOW and VAS) and reliability (through internal consistency, test-retest, and intraclass correlation). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.0. Results The mean IBD-KNOW score was significantly different among non-IBD validation group (doctors: 23, nurses: 18, and non-medical volunteers: 12, p < 0.001). IBD-KNOW showed a high internal consistency (Cronbach's α 0.78) and intraclass correlation (0.90). As expected, the IBD-KNOW score was positively correlated with VAS for self-perceived knowledge (r = 0.45, p < 0.001). One hundred and one patients with IBD (54 with ulcerative colitis and 47 with Crohn's disease) completed the questionnaire at baseline. Multivariate analyses showed that a high IBD-KNOW score was associated with longer disease duration (OR: 2.59 [CI 1.11-5.74]; p = 0.04), previous hospitalization (OR: 3.63 [CI 1.301-9.96]; p = 0.01), current biologic treatment (OR: 3.37 [CI 1.31-8.65]; p = 0.02), and higher educational level (OR: 4.66 [CI 1.74-10.21]; p = 0.02). Moreover, there was no significant correlation between overall IBD-KNOW and SIBDQ, nor between IBD treatment adherence (MMAS-8 = 8) and a higher mean IBD-KNOW score (p = 0.552). Conclusion The Portuguese version of IBD-KNOW is a simple, valid, and reliable tool for assessing IBD-related knowledge. Longer disease duration, hospitalization, use of biologics, and higher educational level are associated with higher levels of knowledge. Higher patient knowledge was not associated with higher HRQoL and adherence to therapy.

The development of a novel, multilingual IBD knowledge questionnaire for Asian patients with inflammatory bowel disease. BMC Gastroenterol 2023; 23:185. [PMID: 37231353 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-023-02817-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease is an uncommon disease in developing nations whereby patient's knowledge on the disease may be limited. The CCKNOW questionnaire, a widely known questionnaire to assess patient's knowledge on the disease, may be too complex to comprehend for patients in developing countries. The aim of this study is to develop a new tool known as AIBDKQ questionnaire to evaluate the local inflammatory bowel disease patient's knowledge. METHODS This was a prospective study carried out in four phases. In phase 1, three gastroenterologists with expertise in IBD generated a total of 21 questions related to the general knowledge of the disease in the English language. Phase 2 involved content and face validity whereby the questions were further validated by other gastroenterologists. In phase 3, the validated questions were translated into three languages namely Malay, Mandarin and Tamil which are commonly used in Malaysia. In phase 4 (statistical validity), administration of the questionnaires to patients and hospital staff were conducted to assess the construct validity, discriminative ability, predictive validity and reliability of the questionnaires. RESULTS A total of 21 questions were generated initially. Further evaluation indicated that 20 items had adequate kappa and content validity index for relevance (CVI: 0.714 to 1, Kapp: 0.645 to 1) and clarity (CVI: 0.714 to 1, Kapp: 0.645 to 1). The questionnaires in four languages were administered to 213 patients to assess the construct validity. Six items were removed (three for low communality, one for small loading factors, two for cross loading), resulting in 16 final questions. Assessment with 34 hospital staff involving nurses, doctors and clerks showed significant differences in knowledge between the groups (F = 14.007, p < 0.001) and were able to discriminate doctors from nurses and clerks. Another group of 18 hospital staff administered with AIBDKQ and CCKNOW questionnaires showed a Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.8 indicating strong correlation and concurrent predictive validity between the two questionnaires. Final assessment with 38 patients for reliability assessment revealed high intraclass correlation of the questionnaire among the four languages. CONCLUSIONS The AIBDKQ has an excellent discriminant ability and internal consistency with a strong correlation when compared to the standard CCKNOW questionnaire.

Abstract
A good understanding of a disease facilitates patient-centered management. We aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related knowledge and analyze the factors affecting patients' knowledge of IBD. We invited 15 experts to develop and modify an IBD knowledge questionnaires and 709 patients to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaires as well as analyze the factors related to the disease knowledge of patients with IBD. In internal consistency, Cronbach's α coefficients for the common items, ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn's disease (CD) knowledge questionnaires were 0.886, 0.89, and 0.886, respectively. In cross-item consistency, Spearman-Brown split coefficients of the common items, UC, and CD knowledge questionnaires were 0.843, 0.812, and 0.812, respectively. In time consistency, the test-retest reliability ICC was 0.862 (P < 0.001). The correlation between researcher scores, IBD-KNOW scores, and the original questionnaire scores was greater than 0.7 (P < 0.001). Multiple linear regression demonstrated that the factors, including disease type, age, body mass index, education level, income, treatment cost, duration of disease, and frequency of visits, affected the IBD patients' knowledge of the disease (P < 0.05). The IBD knowledge questionnaires had good reliability and validity and, therefore, can be used to assess patient knowledge of the disease.

Abstract
Objective To explore the application effect of health education based on phased transition theory model in the continuous nursing for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Method A total of 106 patients with IBD admitted to the hospital were enrolled as the research objects between October 2020 and September 2021. According to random number table method, they were divided into observation group and control group, 53 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing, while observation group was additionally given health education based on phased transition theory model. The nutritional status (serum prealbumin (PA), albumin (ALB), body mass index (BMI)), scores of Disease Knowledge Mastery Scale, exercise of self-care agency scale (ESCA), and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) were compared between the two groups before and after intervention. Results After intervention, PA, ALB, and BMI in observation group were higher than those in control group (P < 0.05), scores of Disease Knowledge Mastery Scale, total mastery rate, scores and total score of ESCA, and scores and total score of IBDQ were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of health education based on phased transformation theory model in the continuous nursing improves disease knowledge mastery, self-care ability, nutritional status, and quality of life in IBD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For people with inflammatory bowel disease, validated knowledge questionnaires are valuable to identify gaps in understanding and explore the impact on disease variables. AIMS The aim of this study was to validate the short knowledge questionnaire Inflammatory Bowel Disease Knowledge Inventory Device 2, known as IBD-KID2, for use with adults with inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS Concurrent validity of IBD-KID2 was assessed by comparing scores with those achieved on the Crohn's and Colitis Knowledge Score (CCKNOW). IBD-KID2 reliability was assessed with test-retest completion at two time points, generalizability assessed by comparing IBD-KID2 cohort scores at different recruitment centres, and acceptability assessed using participant survey. RESULTS Seventy-five adults with inflammatory bowel disease completed the study. The mean percentage scores achieved on the IBD-KID2 and CCKNOW were 72.8% (SD 16.0) and 49.7% (SD 18.2), respectively. There was a significant correlation between IBD-KID2 and CCKNOW scores (R 0.573, P < 0.005), confirming concurrent validity. IBD-KID2 reliability was confirmed as no significant difference was seen between scores at test and retest (mean difference -0.2, P = 0.92). Generalizability was established as no significant score difference was seen between recruitment centres after controlling for population differences. The acceptability survey showed that 49 (69%) participants preferred IBD-KID2 to the CCKNOW, 60 (85%) found the IBD-KID2 easier to complete, and 38 (53%) considered the CCKNOW as most suitable for adults. CONCLUSIONS IBD-KID2 is a valid, reliable, and generalizable tool for measuring knowledge in adults with inflammatory bowel disease with good acceptability. IBD-KID2 is easy and quick to complete, hence limiting respondent burden.

Abstract
Background Educating patients regarding thier inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is important for their empowerment and disease management. We aimed to develop a questionnaire to evaluate patient understanding and knowledge of IBD. Methods We have developed the Understanding IBD Questionnaires (U‐IBDQ), consisting of multiple‐choice questions in two versions [for Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)]. The questionnaires were tested for content and face validity, readability, responsiveness and reliability. Convergent validity was assessed by correlating the U‐IBDQ score with physician's subjective assessment scores. Discriminant validity was assessed by comparison to healthy controls (HC), patients with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) conditions other than IBD, and to GI nurses. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine factors associated with a high level of disease understanding. Results The study population consisted of IBD patients (n = 106), HC (n = 35), chronic GI disease patients (n = 38) and GI nurses (n = 19). Mean U‐IBDQ score among IBD patients was 56.5 ± 21.9, similar for CD and UC patients (P = 0.941), but significantly higher than that of HC and chronic GI disease patients and lower than that of GI nurses (P < 0.001), supporting its discriminant validity. The U‐IBDQ score correlated with physician's subjective score (r = 0.747, P < 0.001) and was found to be reliable (intra‐class correlation coefficient = 0.867 P < 0.001). Independent factors associated with high U‐IBDQ scores included academic education (OR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.10–1.33, P < 0.001), biologic therapy experience (OR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.01–1.53, P = 0.046), and IBD diagnosis at <21 years of age (OR = 2.97, 95% CI 1.05–8.87, P = 0.050). Conclusions The U‐IBDQ is a validated, reliable and short, self‐reported questionnaire that can be used for assessing understanding of disease pathophysiology and treatment by IBD patients.
Established knowledge on this subject
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) patients' beliefs and knowledge regarding their disease may affect disease management, quality of life and disease‐related psychological health. Therapy‐related disinformation is associated with low adherence to treatment. A standardized and validated tool for assessment of IBD patients' knowledge and understanding of their disease is lacking.
Significant findings of this study
We developed and meticulously validated the understanding of IBD questionnaire, a short questionnaire aimed at measuring understanding of disease pathophysiology and treatment of IBD. Inflammatory bowel diseases‐related knowledge was associated with education level and with younger age at IBD diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disease knowledge is associated with increased treatment compliance and improvement of symptoms in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD-knowledge inventory device (IBD-KID) was developed and validated specifically as a tool to measure disease-related knowledge in children with IBD and their parents. AIM To prospectively assess the determinants of disease-related knowledge regarding paediatric IBD patients and their parents, using the IBD-KID. METHODS A questionnaire-based survey was carried out in paediatric patients and their parents. The determinants of patients' and parents' IBD-KID scores were assessed according to hierarchical linear regression models. RESULTS The study group consisted of 269 IBD patients and 298 parents. The patients' mean (standard deviation, SD) IBD-KID score was 10.87 (± 3.97), while the parents' was 11.95 (± 3.97). Both groups exhibited poor knowledge of the side effects of steroid therapy, the role of surgical treatment in IBD, dietary restrictions and the risks associated with the use of herbal medicines. The patients' IBD-KID scores were statistically associated with patient sex [B coefficient (standard error, SE) = 1.03 (0.44), P = 0.021] and patient age [B (SE) = 0.03 (0.01), P < 0.001]. The parents' IBD-KID scores were significantly related to patient age [B (SE) = 0.02 (0.01), P = 0.003], and treatment with immunosuppressive agent [B (SE) = 1.85 (0.48), P < 0.001]. The final models explained 26.9% of the variance of patients' IBD-KID scores and 18.5% of the variance of parents' scores. CONCLUSION The variables originating from parents' knowledge were significantly associated with patients' IBD-KID scores. The study results indicate the need to implement better education programmes for patients and parents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Poor knowledge of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] in pregnancy underlies unwarranted voluntary childlessness [VC], and risks poorer obstetric outcomes and adverse fetal outcomes. IBD is increasing worldwide but education on IBD issues might be heterogeneous based on cultural differences and variations in models of care. METHODS Consecutive female IBD subjects aged 18-45 years were prospectively recruited from two dedicated IBD-pregnancy clinics, two multidisciplinary IBD clinics and nine general gastroenterology clinics. Subjects completed the validated CCPKnow [score 0-17] with questions on demographics, medical history and pregnancy knowledge. The primary outcome was knowledge per clinic-type and per geographical region. RESULTS Surveys were completed by 717 subjects from 13 hospitals across ten countries. Dedicated IBD-pregnancy clinics had the highest knowledge, followed by multidisciplinary IBD clinics then general IBD clinics (median CCPKnow 10.0 [IQR: 8.0-11.0], 8.0 [IQR: 5.0-10.5] and 4.0 [IQR:2.0-6.0]; p < 0.001). Median CCPKnow scores in Western, Asian and Middle Eastern clinics were 9.0, 5.0 and 3.0 respectively [p < 0.001]. Dedicated IBD-pregnancy clinics, IBD support organization membership, childbearing after IBD diagnosis and employment independently predicted greater knowledge. Patient perception of disease severity [r = -0.18, p < 0.01] and consideration of VC [r = -0.89, p = 0.031] negatively correlated with CCPKnow score. The overall VC rate was 15.0% [95% CI: 12.2-18.2]. VC subjects had significantly lower pregnancy-specific IBD knowledge than non-VC subjects (median CCPKnow 4.0 [IQR: 2.0-6.0] and 6.0 [IQR: 3.0-9.0] respectively; p < 0.001). Pregnancy-specific IBD knowledge and dedicated IBD-pregnancy clinic attendance were significant negative predictors of VC. CONCLUSIONS In this large international study we identified predictors of pregnancy-specific IBD knowledge. Dedicated IBD-pregnancy clinics had the greatest IBD-related pregnancy knowledge and lowest VC rates, reflecting the benefits of pre-conception counselling.

Abstract
GOALS The study aimed to compare the level and characteristics of disease-related knowledge of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) between the West and the East using an international version of a questionnaire regarding knowledge of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD-KNOW). BACKGROUND The authors recently developed a new questionnaire regarding IBD-KNOW, which showed excellent test characteristics in Korea. STUDY The IBD-KNOW questionnaire was administered to 100 patients with IBD from tertiary referral hospitals in the United States and Korea. Scores were calculated and compared between US and Korean patients, and factors associated with high scores were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 196 (100 US and 96 Korean) patients with IBD completed the questionnaires. Analysis of the baseline characteristics revealed that male sex, smoking status, disease duration, history of IBD-related operations, family history of IBD, and use of corticosteroids or biologics were significantly different between US and Korean patients. The mean IBD-KNOW score was higher in US patients than in Korean patients (14.8 vs. 11.3; P<0.001). Multivariate analyses showed that a high IBD-KNOW score (top 25%) was associated with a positive family history of IBD (odds ratio, 2.90; P=0.025) in US patients with IBD and with the use of biologics (odds ratio, 3.65; P=0.008) in Korean patients with IBD. CONCLUSIONS The IBD-KNOW questionnaire, an updated assessment tool of IBD-related knowledge, is simple, reliable, and available in various patient populations. IBD-KNOW can be used to identify the factors affecting the level of IBD-related knowledge to improve the quality of care in patients with IBD through a personalized approach.

Abstract
Background and aims The disease-related knowledge levels in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are important because it could affect the self-management ability and adaptive coping strategies. We set out to determine whether higher levels of disease-related knowledge reduce medical acceleration. Methods We evaluated the levels of disease-related knowledge in all patients at the time of enrollment for SNUBH IBD cohort using the validated IBD-KNOW questionnaire. Clinical data were prospectively collected and the factors related to step-up therapy were analyzed. Step-up therapy was defined as the new use of corticosteroids, immunomodulators, or biologics after the enrollment. Results Between April 2017 and January 2019, 298 patients were enrolled (mean age, 39.8 years; males, 69.5%); 193 patients (64.8%) had ulcerative colitis and 105 (35.2%) had Crohn’s disease. The mean disease duration was 35.8 months. During the mean follow-up of 14.7 months, 90 patients (30.2%) underwent step-up therapy and 208 (69.8%) underwent continuous therapy. The prevalence of continuous therapy increased with increasing IBD-KNOW scores (p for trend = 0.019). Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that high IBD-KNOW scores (≥ 16) (hazards ratio [HR]: 0.498, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.276–0.897, p = 0.020) was negatively associated with the step-up therapy. Conclusions Higher disease-related knowledge could reduce the requirement of step-up therapy in IBD. The IBD-KNOW score was independently predictive of step-up therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic education is an essential part of the treatment of chronic diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The IBD-KID, developed in Canada in English, assesses children's and adolescents' acquired knowledge about their condition and has been validated in Canadian and Australian populations. However, there is no pediatric questionnaire in French to assess patients' knowledge about IBD. OBJECTIVE To report the linguistic validation process and metric validity of the MICI-MINOTS, the French version of the IBD-KID. METHOD The translation process consisted of three consecutive steps: forward-backward translation, acceptability testing, and cognitive interviews. The IBD-KID consists of 23 questions, but a 24th question about immunomodulatory therapy was added in the MICI-MINOTS. Psychometric testing was conducted with five groups: children with IBD, their parents, children in a control group, their parents, and health workers recruited from the Timone Pediatric Hospital and the Saint-Sébastien Maternal and Child Protection Center, Marseille, France. A total of 15 individuals completed the tool twice, with a 15-day interval. Internal consistency, reliability, external validity, reproducibility, and sensitivity to change were tested. RESULTS A total of 38 children with IBD (sex: 20 boys, 18 girls; age: 13.90 [±2.88] years; 25 with Crohn's disease), 20 children in the control group, 58 parents (every child was included with one parent), and 62 health workers were included in the analysis. Intraclass correlation was 0.94 (95% confidence interval 0.83-0.98) for test-retest assessment. Readability using the Scolarius score corresponded to elementary school level. Among the children with IBD, 89.5% answered all 24 questions. For 23 questions, the mean score of children with IBD was higher than among children in the control group: 9.58 (±3.01) versus 5.47 (±3.56), respectively (P<0.01). Parents of children with IBD scored higher than parents of children in the control group: 10.63 (±3.16) versus 8.4 (±3.07), respectively (P=0.012). In the health workers' group, pediatric residents (17.82±3.46) scored higher than nurses 11.75 (±3.4) and ward clerks (8.67±2.40; P<0.01). Patients' knowledge score was significantly related to their parents' knowledge score (r=0.402, P=0.012) for 23 questions. CONCLUSION The French version of the IBD-KID showed satisfactory psychometric properties to assess knowledge about the disease in French-speaking children.

A systematic review of behavioural determinants of clinical inertia. BMC Health Serv Res 2019; 19:863. [PMID: 31752837 PMCID: PMC6868709 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-019-4693-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2019] [Accepted: 10/29/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pregnancy represents a complex challenge to clinicians treating women with chronic inflammatory disease. Many clinicians face a situation of heightened sensitivity to the potential risks and uncertainties associated with the effect of pharmacological treatment on pregnancy outcomes. This may create an environment vulnerable to clinical inertia, whereby behavioural factors such as cognitive heuristics and biases, and other factors such as attitudes to risk and emotion can contribute. This systematic review was undertaken to assess if clinical inertia has been investigated/identified in this setting and took a behavioural science approach to identify and understand the potential determinants of clinical inertia in this treatment setting. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted to identify publications which investigated or described clinical inertia or its determinants (e.g. heuristics, biases etc.). Results were coded for thematic analysis using two inter-related behavioural models: the COM-B model and the Theoretical Domains Framework. RESULTS Whilst studies investigating or describing clinical inertia in this treatment setting were not identified, the behavioural analysis revealed a number of barriers to the pharmacological management of women of fertile age affected by chronic inflammatory disease. Factors which may be influencing clinician's behaviour were identified in all domains of the COM-B model. The primary factors identified were a lack of knowledge of treatment guidelines and fears concerning the safety of medications for mother and fetus. Lack of experience of treating pregnant patients was also identified as a contributing factor to undertreatment. CONCLUSION Using a behavioural approach, it was possible to identify potential factors which may be negatively influencing clinician's behaviour in this treatment setting, although specific research was limited.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION adequate knowledge of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is essential for a successful patient-centered management of IBD. OBJECTIVE due to the scarcity of up-to-date tools for measuring IBD literacy, this single-center, prospective study aimed to develop and validate a new questionnaire to assess IBD-related knowledge. MATERIAL AND METHODS the study included patients followed up at the Crohn-Colitis Care Unit (UACC) at the Hospital Vall d'Hebron (Barcelona, Spain). Patients admitted to the UACC for the first time were subsequently enrolled into a standard IBD educational program. A pilot questionnaire was developed and validated in 92 IBD patients by determining the internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α test), feasibility, construct validity (correlation with the Crohn's and Colitis Knowledge [CCKNOW] questionnaire and a knowledge visual analog scale [VAS]) and sensitivity (score change before and after a standard IBD educational program). The questionnaire, named "Qüestionari Coneixements Malaltia Inflamatòria Intestinal Catalunya" (IBD-knowledge questionnaire Catalonia) (QUECOMIICAT) was written in Spanish and had 25 items addressing six dimensions: general concepts, clinic, treatment, surgery, habits and social context. RESULTS the median (interquartile range) completion time was 15 (10-20) minutes and the floor and ceiling effects were 1.1% and 2.1%, respectively. The Cronbach's α coefficient was α = 0.75. QUECOMIICAT significantly correlated with the VAS (rho = 0.34, p < 0.01) and CCKNOW questionnaires (rho = 0.74, p < 0.01). Patient knowledge significantly increased 24 hours after attending a standard IBD educational program and remained statistically significant one month later (Pearson's test-retest correlation coefficient r = 0.81, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION in conclusion, the QUECOMIICAT questionnaire is a new up-to-date tool to assess IBD-related knowledge with good feasibility and validation results for use in the routine clinical practice.
