The Role of Nurses as Guides in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Journal Title: Acta Medica Ruha - Year 2025, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases are a group of chronic and recurrent inflammatory disorders affecting the gastrointestinal system, with unknown etiology. Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are the most common subtypes, associated with physical symptoms and psychosocial issues that negatively impact the quality of life. The management of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases requires a multidisciplinary approach, and the guiding role of nurses is critical for symptom management, treatment adherence, and enhancing patients' quality of life. Nurses actively participate in symptom management, nutritional counseling, psychosocial support, and patient education, creating individualized care plans tailored to patients' needs. Specifically, nutritional management, psychosocial support, and educational strategies help alleviate symptoms and improve treatment adherence. Additionally, the utilization of health technologies, such as mobile health applications and tele-health services, facilitates patient follow-up and enhances treatment processes. Psychosocial support services assist patients in managing stress, depression, and anxiety, thereby positively impacting their quality of life. Moreover, support groups and counseling services reduce social isolation and strengthen psychological resilience. Nurses play a crucial role in patient education and raising public awareness, which helps reduce social stigma and improves patients' compliance with treatment. This review highlights the importance of nursing guidance in the management of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and provides a guiding perspective for future research. Multidisciplinary teamwork, individualized care plans, and the integration of digital health applications are effective strategies for improving the quality of life of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases patients. In this context, strengthening the educational and counseling roles of nurses is essential for effective Inflammatory Bowel Diseases management.
