Mobile Self-Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome for Adolescents
Mobile Self-Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome for Adolescents: Pilot Study
The objective of the proposed research is to conduct user testing of a mobile-based self-management support intervention for adolescents and young adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a chronic digestive condition. The application (app; BodiMojo Buddy) uses a virtual coach that can serve to increase patient engagement through interactive skill-building, self-care, and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral activities. If the BodiMojo Buddy mobile app is successful, it will have a significant public health impact by providing a mobile resource to the 10-15% of the US population who suffer from IBS and potentially improving health outcomes and reducing significant costs to the US healthcare system.
Study participation involves participants downloading and using the app for 30 days. During the 30 days, participants will interact with the app by inputting their current mood, receiving supportive feedback from the app, reading messages, and doing brief activities (such as relaxation activities, etc.). Before and after the 30 days of user testing, participants will complete a few brief questionnaires about their behavior, how their symptoms affect their life, and how they receive support from others. These questions will take around 20 minutes to complete at each administration.

Experimental: Mobile application
|
Mobile application focusing on emotional coping skills for teens and young adults with IBS.
Components of the module include: mood recorder and "mood cloud," with supportive feedback given based on mood choice; health behavior change support messages informed by mindfulness and self-compassion; quizzes with tailored feedback; library of meditations; an interactive coping skills advice section; and a link to an optional social support feature.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Ratio of the days during the 30-day intervention period during which participants use the app
Time Frame: 30 days (from day 1 through day 30 of the 30-day intervention period)
|
Determined by how often adolescents engaged and used certain features.
To be considered feasible, teens must have opened the app on at least two-thirds of the days.
|
30 days (from day 1 through day 30 of the 30-day intervention period)
|
Acceptance
Time Frame: Within 7 days of competing the intervention
|
Determined by participants' responses to acceptance test questions in the following domains: (1) perceived connectedness with the Buddy; (2) relevance of the self-management skill building content; and (3) usefulness of self-management skill-building content for IBS.
Responses will be given on a one to seven-point-scale ranging "terrible" to "excellent."
The intervention will be deemed acceptable if at least 80% of participants rate each question an average of at least "5" ("good") on the 7-point scale.
