ABSTRACT

Background: inflammatory bowel diseases [IBDs], including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are chronic and debilitating conditions that their prevalence are growing. These diseases have association with psycho-cognitive factors. This study aimed to evaluate the personality traits of such patients by applying the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Questionnaire


Materials and Methods: we included 100 patients with biopsy proven IBD in this case control study. 100 individuals [57 subjects of the patients' family members and 43 subjects of non-family members] were considered as controls. We applied MMPI 2RF to evaluate the personality traits of the participants. ANOVA was used to compare the mean scales between the three groups


Results: of this fifty scale-questionnaire, only the scales of emotional inadequacy [mean = 59.83 +/- 10.42, p = 0.047], demoralization [mean = 63.00 +/- 11.21, p = 0.025], malaise [mean = 64.99 +/- 14.58, p = 0.001], cognitive complaints [mean = 64.66 +/- 15.25, p = 0.008], self-doubt [mean = 57.55 11.04, p = 0.34], and neuroticism [mean = 61.43 +/- 11.94, p = 0.048] had a significant difference between the three groups


Conclusion: the patients with IBD had a higher scales of emotional inadequacy, demoralization, malaise, cognitive complaints, self-doubt, and neuroticism than the controls of non-family and family members. However the differences were significant only between patients with IBD and their non-family controls. We suggest regular psychological and psychiatric counseling for patients with IBD
