Adolescence is a vulnerable period for those afflicted with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There is limited knowledge of factors influencing transition readiness in this population. We sought to determine whether self-efficacy and resilience would be informative predictors of transition readiness independent of age.
Patients with IBD aged 16 to 23 years cared for in a pediatric setting were prospectively enrolled. On entry, patients filled out the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ); IBD Self-Efficacy Scale-Adolescent (IBD-SES-A); and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Demographic data and disease-specific information were collected from the medical record and by the provider. General linear modeling and autocorrelation were performed to investigate predictors of transition readiness.
Eighty-seven patients (62 Crohn's disease and 25 ulcerative colitis) were included, with a median age of 19 years (interquartile range 1-3: 17-20; min-max: 16-23). After controlling for age, the IBD-SES-A predicted TRAQ [F(1) = 11.69, R = 0.16, P = 0.001], accounting for 16% of the variance. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale also independently predicted TRAQ score [F(1) = 6.45, R = 0.09, P = 0.01], accounting for 9% of the variance. The IBD-SES-A and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were significantly auto correlated (r = 0.044, P = 0.001); in the final predictive model, only IBD-SES-A was predictive of TRAQ [F(1) = 4.01, R = 0.12, P = 0.004]. None of the patients' demographic, disease, or socioeconomic parameters informed transition readiness once self-efficacy and resilience were considered.
This is the first study to identify a reliable predictor of transition readiness scores in adolescents with IBD that does not seem to be influenced by age.
青春期对于炎症性肠病(IBD)患者来说是一个脆弱时期。关于影响该人群过渡准备状态的因素,我们了解有限。我们试图确定自我效能感和心理韧性是否会成为独立于年龄之外的、能反映过渡准备状态的有效预测指标。
前瞻性纳入在儿科环境中接受治疗的16至23岁IBD患者。入组时,患者填写过渡准备状态评估问卷(TRAQ)、IBD青少年自我效能量表(IBD-SES-A)以及康纳-戴维森心理韧性量表。从病历和医护人员处收集人口统计学数据及疾病相关信息。采用一般线性模型和自相关分析来研究过渡准备状态的预测指标。
纳入87例患者(62例克罗恩病和25例溃疡性结肠炎),中位年龄19岁(四分位间距1-3:17-20;最小-最大:16-23)。在控制年龄因素后,IBD-SES-A可预测TRAQ [F(1)=11.69,R=0.16,P=0.001],解释了16%的方差。康纳-戴维森心理韧性量表也能独立预测TRAQ得分[F(1)=6.45,R=0.09,P=0.01],解释了9%的方差。IBD-SES-A与康纳-戴维森心理韧性量表存在显著自相关(r=0.044,P=0.001);在最终预测模型中,只有IBD-SES-A可预测TRAQ [F(1)=4.01,R=0.12,P=0.004]。一旦考虑自我效能感和心理韧性,患者的人口统计学、疾病或社会经济参数均无法反映过渡准备状态。
这是第一项确定IBD青少年过渡准备状态得分可靠预测指标的研究,该指标似乎不受年龄影响。
