Summary

The purpose of this research study is to understand the effects of therapy in lowering anxiety and improving quality of life in patients with IBD who are undergoing surgery

Detailed description

Pre- and post- surgery scores on the State Trait Anxiety Inventory will be used to measure levels of state-based anxiety as the primary outcome. Our hypothesis is that patients in the experimental group, will show a decrease in anxiety levels over the course of the four sessions, while the same group in the control group will not change significantly in their anxiety levels. It is hypothesized that this would be due to the psychotherapeutic intervention mitigating the inherent emotional stress and negative behavioral changes associated with surgery. It will be important to differentiate between the inpatient and outpatient groups, as their anxiety levels may inherently be discrepant. For patients with a three-step ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), the three sessions subsequent to surgery will be conducted only after the first surgery. This is an exploratory study in which we are investigating the possibility of a range of potential outcomes to the intervention, including overall reduction of anxiety, depression, body image and improvement in quality of life.
