Summary

This trial will compare an internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy intervention to usual care in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression for people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and comorbid anxiety and/or depression.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who are experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression. Participants must have an IBD diagnosis from a doctor, score above 8 on specific anxiety/depression scales, and have stable psychotropic medication for six weeks before joining. They need computer access and English literacy but can't join if they've had recent severe mental health issues or current/recent CBT treatment.
What is being tested?
The study tests an online cognitive behavioural therapy program designed to help people with IBD manage stress, anxiety, and depression. It's a two-arm RCT where one group receives the iCBT intervention while the other continues their usual treatment without this additional support.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves non-pharmaceutical therapy (iCBT), typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort addressing psychological issues during therapy sessions.
