The older adult age group makes up one of the fastest-growing groups of individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is important to hear the perspectives of older adults living with IBD about care experiences and managing their illness. The purpose of this patient-oriented study was to identify and prioritize patient-centred strategies that have the potential to enhance IBD-related care for older adults in Saskatchewan.
The interprofessional research team, consisting of older adult individuals living with IBD, gastroenterology providers, and researchers specializing in IBD or older adult education used a modified Delphi approach to identify and prioritize strategies that may enhance IBD-related care for older adults. Thirty-one older adults with IBD participated in ranking, revising, and prioritizing statements related to their chronic illness care. Nine statements were developed that highlighted strategies for older adult IBD care.
Through the consensus process, 6 statements were retained. Co-creating a treatment plan with the IBD provider was ranked as the top priority statement for older adults with IBD.
Facilitating collaborative relationships and understanding individual priorities for IBD-related care for older adults has the potential to enhance positive health outcomes and quality of life for these individuals.
老年人群体是炎症性肠病（IBD）患者中增长最快的群体之一。听取IBD老年患者对护理经历和疾病管理的看法很重要。这项以患者为导向的研究旨在确定并优先考虑以患者为中心的策略，这些策略有可能加强萨斯喀彻温省对老年IBD患者的护理。
跨专业研究团队由患有IBD的老年人、胃肠病学提供者以及专门从事IBD或老年教育的研究人员组成，他们采用改进的德尔菲法来确定并优先考虑可能加强对老年IBD患者护理的策略。31名患有IBD的老年人参与了对与他们慢性病护理相关的陈述进行排序、修订和优先排序。制定了九条陈述，突出了老年IBD护理的策略。
通过共识过程，保留了6条陈述。与IBD提供者共同制定治疗计划被列为IBD老年患者的首要优先陈述。
促进老年IBD患者的协作关系并了解其个人对IBD相关护理的优先事项，有可能改善这些患者的健康状况和生活质量。
