Evaluation of Quality of Life and Psychosocial Status in Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Prospective Controlled Trial

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that affects the psychosocial status and physical activities of children and their parents in many ways. Our study aimed to investigate the variability of disease-related quality of life and behavioral and emotional adjustment issues compared to a healthy control group among adolescents and their families diagnosed with IBD. Children with IBD and the healthy control group, as well as the parents of both groups, will administered the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The PedsQL is a scale used to assess physical and psychosocial functioning based on the individual's own experiences, commonly employed in clinical trials and quality improvement initiatives. The scale evaluates physical activity status and psychosocial functioning through questions related to emotional, social, and school-related issues.
