People Living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Want Multidisciplinary Healthcare: A Qualitative Content Analysis
Open accessAbstract
This study reports on the preferences of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for their healthcare. Overall, 477 people with IBD responded to an open-ended survey question within a larger study. We qualitatively content-analysed these responses with open coding using NVivo. Respondents expressed a desire for (1) better communication, (2) multidisciplinary care, (3) better treatment, services and specialist care, (4) whole person care, (5) health promotion, (6) proactive healthcare, (7) fewer administrative issues and (8) improved hospital experience. Patients with IBD want patient-centred, multidisciplinary care. Healthcare professionals should facilitate patients' access to proactive care.

Perspectives shared by participants that an IBD-specific psychological intervention would be particularly valuable close to time of diagnosis was congruent with past research and may be useful in informing best practice models of care.
“Perspectives shared by participants in the current study that an IBD-specific psychological intervention would be particularly valuable close to time of diagnosis was congruent with past research and may be useful in informing best practice models of care (Dober et al., 2021; Fawson et al., 2022; Feeney et al., 2022).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
