Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the improvement of anxiety and depression in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by the WeChat platform interaction.Methods:A total of 160 IBD patients were included by prospective cohort study method and divided into the interaction group and the control group in a 1∶1 ratio according to the order of enrollment.After interaction on the WeChat platform and routine follow-up for 3 months, all the patients of two groups filled the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADs) respectively for the evaluation of anxiety and depression status before and after the follow-up.Results:There were no significant differences in demographic and clinical data between the two groups before WeChat platform interaction (all P>0.05) . Compared with the control group, after interaction on WeChat platform, the interaction group had less patients with anxiety and depression (anxiety: 22.5% vs. 41.3%; depression: 15.0% vs. 31.1%, both P<0.05) , lower anxiety and depression score (anxiety score: 4.71±3.31vs. 6.20±4.94, P = 0.027; depression score: 4.70±2.92 vs. 6.04±4.20, P = 0.021) , differences were statistically significant. Conclusions:WeChat platform interaction can reduce the occurrence of anxiety and depression in IBD patients. It is a health education model which is worth promoting.
