A growing body of data from the primary care population demonstrates that health confidence (a patient’s belief of their ability and agency to manage their disease and impact the disease course) is an important psychosocial factor associated with chronic disease outcomes (e.g., blood pressure and glycemic control) and emergency department [ED] visits.[1] Health confidence has also been shown to be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) symptomatic burden, general well-being, and healthcare utilization.[2] We aim to explore factors that influence health confidence and examine its impact on IBD disease outcome and healthcare utilization in a longitudinal, multi-institutional cohort of adults with IBD.
