This systematic review evaluated theories and determinants of self-care and self-efficacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Thirteen studies were analyzed, revealing diverse theoretical frameworks and key determinants such as psychological factors and health literacy. The review concluded that self-care behaviors correlate with improved clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life.

Key findings

  • No single theory fully explains self-care in IBD, with frameworks like Riegel's and Self-Determination Theory identified.
  • Key determinants of self-care include psychological factors, relational aspects, and personal factors.
  • Self-care behaviors are associated with more favorable clinical outcomes and improved health-related quality of life.

Why it matters

Understanding the determinants of self-care and self-efficacy in IBD is crucial for developing effective, patient-centered interventions that can enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
