“…For example, 79% (83/105) of the participants reported accessing at least one linked resource, aided topic recall was high overall, and few participants reported recalling a foil message topic. These findings support the literature showing that people with IBD tend to be receptive to the idea of eHealth interventions for disease self-management [33][34][35][36][37] and that digital technologies can be used for therapeutic purposes [38][39][40].…”

BACKGROUND mHealth technologies can be useful for providing disease self-management information and support to people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). OBJECTIVE This study tested a self-management text messaging intervention for people with IBD. Our goal was to examine intervention feasibility, acceptability, and engagement, and to preliminarily evaluate improvements in certain self-reported health outcomes among participants. METHODS We developed a text messaging program called “Text4IBD.” The program sent daily support messages and resources about disease self-management over the course of a 2-week, single group, pretest-posttest intervention to participants (N=114) diagnosed with IBD. We examined intervention feasibility and acceptability, as well as engagement through Text4IBD message topic recall and use of resources (i.e., visiting supplemental websites recommended by the Text4IBD program). We also assessed pretest-posttest measures of IBD-related distress, self-efficacy, perceived support, use of coping strategies, and medication adherence. Analyses examined participant evaluations of the intervention and compared pretest-posttest changes in secondary outcomes using paired-samples statistics. RESULTS Nearly all participants were receptive to Text4IBD and viewed the program as feasible and acceptable. In addition, most participants (98%) recalled at least one of the message topics sent by the program and 79% self-reported engaging with at least one of the external self-management resources recommended by the Text4IBD program. Pretest-posttest results showed reduced IBD-related distress (M=3.33 vs. M=2.86; p<.001) and improvement on most other secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Findings from this work highlight the value of text messaging as a useful digital medium for providing support to people with IBD, particularly for those who may struggle with disease-related distress. Text4IBD was highly feasible and acceptable and may help people self-manage their IBD. Future work should aim to evaluate this program in a randomized controlled trial in clinical settings.

“…Psychological intervention studies in IBS have underlined the value of GI-specific visceral anxiety as an intervention target, demonstrating that symptom-specific anxiety can be attenuated and that this attenuation predicts/mediates improvements in QoL (Garland et al, 2012; Kearney, McDermott, Martinez, & Simpson, 2011; Labus et al, 2013; Wolitzky-Taylor, Craske, Labus, Mayer, & Naliboff, 2012). Interventions in IBD cohorts have similarly highlighted visceral sensitivity as a modifiable target with associated improvements in well-being (Hunt et al, 2020; Hunt, Rodriguez, & Marcelle, 2017). Along with GI-specific visceral anxiety, pain catastrophizing has been identified as an important psychological process in GI conditions and associated psychological comorbidity.…”

This article describes the development and validation of the Gastrointestinal Unhelpful Thinking scale. The purpose of the research was to develop the Gastrointestinal Unhelpful Thinking scale to assess in tandem the primary cognitiveaffective drivers of brain-gut dysregulation, gastrointestinal-specific visceral anxiety, and pain catastrophizing. The research involved 3 phases which included undergraduate and community samples. In the first phase, an exploratory factor analysis revealed a 15-item 2-factor (visceral sensitivity and pain catastrophizing) scale (N = 323), which then was confirmed in the second phase: N = 399, χ²(26) = 2.08, p = .001, Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.94, comparative fit index = 0.96, standardized root mean square residual = 0.05, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.07. Demonstrating convergent validity, Gastrointestinal Unhelpful Thinking scale total and subscales were strongly correlated with the modified Manitoba Index, Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity Scale scores, Visceral Sensitivity Index, and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. A third phase (N = 16) established test-retest reliability for the Gastrointestinal Unhelpful Thinking scale (total and subscales). The test-retest reliability correlation coefficient for the Gastrointestinal Unhelpful Thinking scale total score was .93 (p < .001) and for the subscales was .86 (p < .001) and .94 (p < .001), respectively. The Gastrointestinal Unhelpful Thinking scale is a brief psychometrically valid measure of visceral anxiety and pain catastrophizing that can be useful for both clinicians and researchers who wish to measure these thinking patterns and relate them to changes in gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms.
