Abstract

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a life-long illness that is increasing in prevalence and incidence, disproportionately among young adults. The diagnosis often coincides with emerging adulthood, a critical developmental stage when young adults face formative life changes such as independent living, finalization of education and career path, redefining relationships with parents, the pursuit of romantic relationships, marriage, and parenthood. A diagnosis of IBD during emerging adulthood can have significant impacts on these domains.

Areas covered: Current research supports incorporating comprehensive psychosocial care for emerging adults dealing with IBD. These dimensions include the mental health needs of patients, the social needs and barriers of living with IBD, the impact chronic illness has on intimate relationships and family planning, and the impact on career and finances. Literature search was conducted using online databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and OpenEvidence.

Expert review: By addressing the psychosocial needs of IBD patients, healthcare providers can empower emerging adults to navigate the challenges of chronic illness and achieve personal and professional fulfillment. Review of published literature demonstrates that comprehensive, compassionate care during this vulnerable period can improve patient outcomes, resilience, and quality of life, enabling young adults with IBD to lead successful and meaningful lives.

期刊介绍： The enormous health and economic burden of gastrointestinal disease worldwide warrants a sharp focus on the etiology, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and development of new therapies. By the end of the last century we had seen enormous advances, both in technologies to visualize disease and in curative therapies in areas such as gastric ulcer, with the advent first of the H2-antagonists and then the proton pump inhibitors - clear examples of how advances in medicine can massively benefit the patient. Nevertheless, specialists face ongoing challenges from a wide array of diseases of diverse etiology.
