简介
Purpose
A growing interest in posttraumatic growth among individuals who have experienced a traumatic event has given rise to measures such as the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI; Tedeschi and Calhoun, 1996). However, such measures may not fully represent all dimensions of change among individuals diagnosed with a chronic disease and fail to highlight the negative changes that may also occur. This study explores the positive and negative changes patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have experienced since diagnosis.
Methods
Three hundred and seventy-eight IBD patients provided answers to the qualitative question “Could you please describe the (positive/negative) effect(s) IBD has had on your life?” A grounded theory approach using NVivo was performed on participants’ responses.
