TL;DR
Despite the overt inclination of Iranian IBD patients to know more about their disease, their knowledge levels were significantly lower than the I BD patients in developed countries.
Abstract
Despite the overt inclination of Iranian IBD patients to know more about their disease, their knowledge levels were significantly lower than the IBD patients in developed countries. The more profound knowledge deficit in IBD complications may lead to disastrous aftermaths such as late diagnosis of colorectal cancer induced by prolonged IBD. Vigorous patient education programs for the Iranian IBD patient are suggested focusing on areas of knowledge deficit and their favorite topics.

225 Citations2001Andrew Robinson, David G. Thompson +2 more
Self-management of ulcerative colitis accelerates treatment provision and reduces doctor visits, and does not increase morbidity, which could be used in long-term management of many other chronic diseases.

It seems that ulcerative colitis has less profound effects on HRQOL than Crohn’s disease and that some differences inHRQOL status are related to some factors such as the severity of the disease.

The addition of educational booklets to IBD patients in a tertiary center does not improve, and may worsen, short-term HRQOL, and education of newly diagnosed or less informed patients should be studied further.

Despite high costs, new drug therapies for more severe disease, such as anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α) antibodies, may prove a cost-effective option if the need for hospitalisation is reduced.
