Hi everyone,
My name is Lawrence and I am a first year PhD Student in Health Psychology, currently collecting data for my first study on adaptation to IBD. I myself have had Crohn's Disease for almost 10 years so appreciate how awful IBD is and felt I wanted to dedicate my life to improving the knowledge base and understanding in this area for future patients.
This study is a 20-30 minute interview by phone about how you have adapted to living with UC over the years. Qustions are based on how patients felt about their diagnosis at the time of being diagnosed and how they feel now, what actions they've taken to adapt to their illness, and what factors have helped them adapt.
The only inclusion criteria are that you live in the UK, are over 18 years of age, and have had UC for a minimum of 2 years.
I've interviewed all the Crohn's patients I need, but am finding it more difficult to find UCers! I need about 8 more until I can start analysing and doing my write up.
If anyone is even the slightest bit interested in taking part then please, please do reply and I can send you an e-mail with some more information. Just to clarify, this study has received ethical approval from my University.
Thanks in advance, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Lawrence.
