The project uses a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design.\n\nIn the qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews will be conducted with outpatients diagnosed with IBD to explore their experiences of self-care across the three theoretical dimensions described in the Middle-Range Theory of Self-Care of Chronic Illness: maintenance, monitoring, and management. The qualitative findings will inform item generation and content validity assessment through a multidisciplinary expert panel.\n\nThe quantitative phase will include the administration of the preliminary SC-IBD scale to an outpatient cohort in order to evaluate its psychometric properties, including construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. Additional validated instruments (DASS-21, SF-12, BIPQ, IBD-Control, and the Short Food Literacy Questionnaire) will be used to assess convergent and divergent validity and to describe relevant psychological, clinical and behavioral correlates of self-care in IBD.\n\nThe ultimate goal of the study is to produce a reliable, valid, and clinically useful tool for assessing self-care behaviors in individuals living with IBD, supporting both research and clinical practice.","The study population consists of adult outpatients diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis) followed at the IBD outpatient clinic of the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A.
