Abstract:
Objective:To systematically evaluate the psychological experiences of adolescent patients with inflammatory bowel disease.Methods:A computer-based search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, APA PsycNet, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc for qualitative studies on the psychological experiences of adolescent patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The search covered publications from the inception of the databases to August 2024. The quality of the studies was assessed using the qualitative research quality standards from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Health Care Center in Australia. Meta-synthesis methods were used to synthesize and analyze the results.Results:A total of 12 articles were included, and similar findings were grouped into eight new categories. Three integrated results were derived: persistent physical and mental distress, diminished social participation, and multiple coping strategies with dual hopes.Conclusions:This Meta-synthesis study provides an in-depth interpretation of the psychological experiences of adolescent patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The findings suggest the need to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms, reduce disease-related stigma, increase social participation, enhance family-school-social support, and establish multidisciplinary teams for effective disease management.
