Virtual Group Therapy for IBD Patients With Anxiety and Depression
Group-based Virtual Psychotherapy Intervention for Anxiety and Depression in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
This study is being done to better understand the complex relationship between mental health and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), with a particular focus on symptoms of depression and anxiety. While depression and anxiety have traditionally been viewed as reactions to the burden of living with IBD, new research suggests that the biological factors involved in IBD may also contribute directly to these mental health challenges. This study aims to evaluate whether a virtual, group-based psychological treatment is both acceptable and feasible for patients with IBD who experience significant depression and/or anxiety. Researchers will also evaluate participants' depression, generalized anxiety, and associated psychosocial factors (poor sleep quality, GI-specific anxiety, fatigue) before, during, and after treatment. Finally, researchers will evaluate disease severity as it relates to mental health status by comparing it to symptoms, biochemical disease and tryptophan metabolites from blood and stool samples.
People who agree to join the study will be asked to attend three in-person visits and 10 virtual group psychotherapy sessions over 11 weeks. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires, give stool and blood samples, and the research team will collect information about participations from medical records.

Sperimentale: Patients with IBD who self-report moderate or higher anxiety or depression symptoms
|
Participants will engage in a course of ten, 120-minute sessions of group psychotherapy.
The intervention will be guided by the Mind Over Mood treatment manual.
Mind Over Mood is a manual that is published and commonly used to treat depression and anxiety as guided by a therapist and for self-help.
For this study, the manual will be adapted for patients with IBD.
Session content will include interventions such as psychoeducation on the brain-gut connection and the CBT model, behavioral activation and activity scheduling, cognitive monitoring and restructuring, development of behavioral experiments to test underlying assumptions, building acceptance and gratitude, and maintenance of gains and relapse prevention.

Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Determine acceptability of a 10-session, group-based, virtual treatment guided by the Mind over Mood treatment manual in patients with IBD with clinically significant depression and/or anxiety
Lasso di tempo: End of intervention at week 10
|
Acceptability will be assessed using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-4 (CSQ-4), which is used to measure overall satisfaction and client self-efficacy in healthcare, mental health, and social programs.
Scores range from 4-16, with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction with the treatment.
CSQ-4 scores are commonly classified as "low satisfaction/dissatisfaction" (4-8), "moderate/neutral satisfaction" (9-12), and "high satisfaction" (13-16).

Feasibility will be assessed by analyzing recruitment and retention (i.e., number of patients who are referred that enroll in the study and complete treatment)

Change in depression
Lasso di tempo: Before, during, and after treatment (weeks 0, 5, and 10).
|
Measured via Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a 9-item self-report tool used to screen, diagnose, and measure the severity of depression in clinical settings.
It scores depressive symptoms experienced over the past two weeks on a scale from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.
Scores are commonly classified as "minimal or no depression" (0-4), "mild depression" (5-9), "moderate depression" (10-14), "moderately severe depression" (15-19), and "severe depression" (20-27).
|
Before, during, and after treatment (weeks 0, 5, and 10).
|
|
Change in anxiety
Lasso di tempo: Before, during, and after treatment (weeks 0, 5, and 10).
|
Measured via Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), a 7-item self-report tool used to screen for anxiety and measure its severity over the past two weeks.
Scores range from 0-21, with higher numbers indicating more severe symptoms.
GAD-7 scores are commonly classified as "minimal anxiety" (0-4), "mild anxiety" (5-9), "moderate anxiety" (10-14), and "severe anxiety" (15-21).
