ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Several studies have reported low levels of physical activity (PA) in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), possibly related to a lack of information and support, despite the many recognized benefits such as cardiovascular prevention or quality of life (QoL) improvement.METHODS:
The purpose of our study was to identify challenges faced by patients and to evaluate IBD impact on PA and QoL by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form and the 32-item Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ-32) questionnaire, respectively. We also assessed the expectations and knowledge of patients and healthcare professionals using the MICI-Active questionnaire that we developed.RESULTS:
We included 298 IBD patients in 4 French hospitals, with a mean age of 38 years. We found a decrease in training frequency since IBD diagnosis, regardless of age, gender, symptom intensity, or type of disease. Moreover, there was an increase in low intensity activities like walking and a decrease in competitions and sports club registrations. Intensity of symptoms has a negative impact on QoL, as evidenced by the worsening of IBDQ score. Conversely, a higher PA intensity was correlated with a higher IBDQ score, regardless of symptoms intensity. The main barrier to PA was fatigue (56%), and the main fear was diarrhea (42%). Furthermore, 75% of patients did not feel sufficiently informed, and 61% were interested in coaching. A total of 112 healthcare professionals were interviewed, 62.5% said they had already discussed of PA with their patients, but 98% felt that they lacked knowledge.CONCLUSIONS:
Inflammatory bowel disease constraints and symptoms have a strong impact on PA. Work needs to be done to better train practitioners to improve IBD patient management, who have much to gain from better PA.
We showed a strong impact of IBD on physical activity (PA) and quality of life, assessed by questionnaire in 298 IBD patients. In addition, we identified the main barriers to PA and interviewed health professionals about their knowledge about it.
