One hundred and two IBD patients were given a support willingness questionnaire which measured their willingness and confidence to participate in computerised and face-to-face psychological interventions as well as the number of sessions they would be willing to participate in. IBD patients were more likely to want to take part in a computer based than face-to-face intervention (45.5% versus 16.8%, p=0.045). Furthermore, IBD patients were willing to participate in more sessions of computerised than face-to-face intervention median (5 vs. 3.5, Z=3.93, p<0.001). Younger females had a significantly higher acceptability of a computerised intervention than older females (χ(2)(1)=6.77, p=0.009) but the same was not found for males. Duration ...Continue Reading
