Summary

This study aims to test the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of an online intervention (eLIFEwithIBD) developed for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The eLIFEwithIBD intervention is an adaptation of the LIFEwithIBD program (delivered in an in-person group format; Trindade et al., 2021), being an ACT, mindfulness, and compassion-based intervention. The eLIFEwithIBD intervention comprises nine sessions focusing on education about IBD, the functioning of the mind, emotions, and fatigue; acceptance of internal experiences; willingness; emotion regulation; values clarification; committed action; mindfulness; compassion; and gratitude. These topics are addressed through videos with therapists, texts, and experiential exercises.
