Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is one of the most serious chronic diseases affecting the global population. Clinical team members involved in the care of individuals with IBD should have sufficient knowledge about IBD. AIMS The study aim was to assess IBD knowledge among four health care professional groups in New Zealand: nurses, medical students, dietitians, and pharmacists. METHODS All four groups completed surveys on demographics, work experience, and contact with patients with IBD. All completed a validated IBD knowledge assessment questionnaire (IBD-KID2), and percentage scores with standard deviation (SD) for each group calculated and compared. RESULTS Participants included 200 nurses, 196 medical students, 45 dietitians, and 28 pharmacists. Mean IBD-KID2 percentage scores were nurses 69.7% (SD 14.7), medical students 77.6% (SD 14.5), dietitians 87.4% (SD 8.3), and pharmacists 83.4% (SD 10.1). Nurses scored lower than other HCP (P < 0.001). Independent variables were associated (P < 0.05) with higher scores for nurses having first degree relative with IBD, access to IBD guidelines, worked with children with IBD; medical students in their clinical years of study; and dietitians with IBD-specific education. Specific items scored poorly: growth, food triggers, heritability of IBD, and nutrient absorption. CONCLUSIONS Knowledge gaps exist among HCP that may be addressed with targeted education. Improvements in the knowledge of those caring for people with IBD may optimize patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) generally have poor knowledge, attitude, and practice of their disease, while the data from China are lacking. AIM To address this knowledge disparity among Chinese patients with IBD. METHODS This web-based, cross-sectional study was conducted on a cohort of IBD patients who visited the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between December 2022 and February 2023. Their socio-demographic information and the knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were collected and estimated using a self-designed questionnaire. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to determine the pairwise correlations among knowledge, attitude, and practice scores. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was further performed to determine the independent factors associated with their knowledge, attitude, and practice scores. RESULTS A total of 353 patients (224 males) with IBD completed the questionnaires. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 10.05 ± 3.46 (possible range: 0-14), 41.58 ± 5.23 (possible range: 0-56), 44.20 ± 7.39 (possible range: 0-56), respectively, indicating good knowledge, positive attitude, and proactive practice toward IBD. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the knowledge score had significant positive correlations with the attitude score (r = 0.371, P < 0.001) and practice score (r = 0.100, P < 0.001). The attitude score had a significant positive correlation with the practice score (r = 0.452, P < 0.001). Moreover, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that aged 30-40 years [odds ratio (OR) = 4.06, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04-15.82, P = 0.043], middle school education (OR = 3.98, 95%CI: 1.29-12.33, P = 0.017), high school/technical secondary school education (OR = 14.06, 95%CI: 3.92-50.38, P < 0.001), and junior college/bachelor's degree and above education (OR = 15.20, 95%CI: 4.15-55.650, P < 0.001) were independently associated with good knowledge. The higher knowledge score was independently associated with a positive attitude (OR = 1.23, 95%CI: 1.11-1.36, P < 0.001). The higher attitude score was independently associated with proactive practice (OR = 1.20, 95%CI: 1.11-1.30, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Chinese patients with IBD might have good knowledge, a positive attitude, and proactive practice toward their disease. However, a small number of specific items require education.

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
Background Patients’ knowledge was found to be a key contributor to the success of therapy. Many efforts have been made to educate patients in their disease. However, research found that many patients still lack knowledge regarding their disease. Integrating patient education into social media platforms can bring materials closer to recipients. Objective The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of patient education via Instagram. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of patient education via Instagram among patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Participants were recruited online from the open Instagram page of a patient organization. The intervention group was educated via Instagram for 5 weeks by the research team; the control group did not receive any educational intervention. The knowledge about their disease was measured pre- and postintervention using the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Knowledge questionnaire. Data were analyzed by comparing mean knowledge scores and by regression analysis. The trial was purely web based. Results In total, 49 participants filled out both questionnaires. The intervention group included 25 participants, and the control group included 24 participants. The preintervention knowledge level of the intervention group was reflected as a score of 18.67 out of 24 points; this improved by 3 points to 21.67 postintervention. The postintervention difference between the control and intervention groups was 3.59 points and was statistically significant (t32.88=–4.56, 95% CI 1.98-5.19; P<.001). Results of the regression analysis, accounting for preintervention knowledge and group heterogeneity, indicated an increase of 3.33 points that was explained by the intervention (P<.001). Conclusions Patient education via Instagram is an effective way to increase disease-related knowledge. Future studies are needed to assess the effects in other conditions and to compare different means of patient education.

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
OBJECTIVES Disease knowledge is important in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) transitioning to adult care. We developed an IBD-specific knowledge questionnaire, the Rotterdam Transition Test (RTT), and aimed to validate this tool. METHODS This is a prospective longitudinal validation study. The RTT has 25 open questions on IBD, medication, lifestyle, and transition to adult care. A scoring model was developed, and inter-rater agreement was assessed. Using a Rasch model, we determined the difficulty and performance of the questions. Cronbach alpha was used to demonstrate reliability. Patient factors (age, disease, education, medication use, illness acceptance, and independence) were correlated to RTT score. RESULTS A total of 207 RTTs were evaluated in 111 adolescent IBD patients. The scoring model showed a kappa score of >0.61 for all questions. Reliability with Cronbach alpha was good (0.81). Mean total result of the RTT was 58% (girls) and 55% (boys) of maximal score.The RTT discriminated well between the different levels of knowledge. Knowledge scores increased in patients who did repeated RTTs during the transition period. Male sex, low educational level, disease acceptance issues, and dependence on parents associated with a significantly lower total RTT score. Prednisone use within 3 months and treatment without biologics associated with significantly higher RTT scores. Disease activity was not a significant factor. CONCLUSIONS The RTT is a reliable and valid tool to assess IBD knowledge. The RTT can be used to detect and discuss knowledge gaps in adolescents with IBD transitioning to adult healthcare.

Abstract
Background: Fecal calprotectin (FC) can be a valuable tool to optimize health care for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The objective of this observational study was to determine the level of knowledge of the FC test in Mexican patients with IBD. Methods: A self-report questionnaire was distributed via Facebook to patients with IBD. The survey consisted of 15 questions in two categories: the first category assessed knowledge of IBD diagnosis, and the second category assessed knowledge of the FC test. Results: In total, 460 patients with IBD participated, of which 83.9% (386) had ulcerative colitis (UC) and 16.0% (74) had Crohn’s disease (CD). Regarding IBD diagnosis, 41.9% of participants stated that they did not know of a non-invasive test for fecal matter to identify inflammation of the colon. Regarding the FC test, 57.5% (UC) and 58.1% (CD) stated that they did not know about the test. Additionally, 65.8% (UC) and 51.3% (CD) of participants stated that they had never received the FC test and 82.6% (UC) and 77.0% (CD) recognized that the FC test was difficult to access in their medical practice. Furthermore, 66% (UC) and 52.7% (CD) of participants noted that their specialist doctor had never suggested the FC test to them, yet 89.1% (UC) and 87.8% (CD) stated that they would prefer FC analysis for their IBD follow-up assessments. Conclusions: There is little knowledge of the FC biomarker among Mexican patients with IBD. This suggests the need for greater dissemination of its use and scope as a biomarker in IBD.

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.
