The aim of this study was to determine the effects a course of instruction about irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) might have on symptoms, psychological well-being, and medical care requirements in these patients.
Twenty-nine women with IBS participated in a programme of instruction on medical care, physical activity, stress-management, diet and health insurance. The women completed the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale and the Psychological General Well-Being Index and provided information about their requirements of medical care before and after the course.
Twenty-three of the women included, completed the questionnaires at 12 months after the course. When comparing these values to those at baseline, there were improvements in abdominal pain (p < 0.037) and vitality (p < 0.045) as well as a reduction in the number of visits to physicians (p < 0.037) and dieticians (p < 0.042).
Information related to the disease, might help women with IBS to perceive less pain and more vitality and thereby experience a higher quality of life.
A course of instruction for patients with IBS may be of benefit for the patients, and could be a part of a multicomponent approach in the treatment of this patient group.
本研究旨在确定关于肠易激综合征（IBS）的一个教学课程可能对这些患者的症状、心理健康和医疗护理需求产生的影响。
29名患有肠易激综合征的女性参加了一个关于医疗护理、体育活动、压力管理、饮食和健康保险的教学计划。这些女性在课程前后分别完成了胃肠道症状评定量表和心理总体幸福感指数，并提供了她们的医疗护理需求信息。
纳入研究的23名女性在课程结束12个月后完成了问卷调查。将这些数值与基线时的数值进行比较时，腹痛（p < 0.037）和活力（p < 0.045）有所改善，同时看医生的次数（p < 0.037）和看营养师的次数（p < 0.042）减少。
与该疾病相关的信息可能有助于患有肠易激综合征的女性减轻疼痛并增强活力，从而体验更高的生活质量。
为肠易激综合征患者开设的教学课程可能对患者有益，并且可以成为该患者群体多组分治疗方法的一部分。
