In a preliminary study, 30 sufferers of irritable bowel syndrome filled in daily symptom sheets and the combined Hassles and Uplifts questionnaire for five weeks. Initially, analyses were carried out for each symptom separately. Results showed that ratings on the hassles and symptoms questionnaires completed in the same week were more highly associated than ratings for hassles and symptoms in different weeks. No one symptom in any week was significantly associated with the following week's hassles. Similarly, hassles in any one week were not associated with the following week's symptoms. However, total symptoms were found to be significantly associated with hassles in the following weeks, whereas the association between hassles and total symptoms in the following weeks was not significant. The study suggests that there is a cumulative effect of symptoms such that an increase in the severity of the combined effect of symptoms is associated with an increase in severity of stress in the next week. Increased hassles do not appear to exacerbate symptoms. There was no evidence of an association between uplifts and IB symptoms.
