Opis:: Introduction. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the mucous membrane of the large intestine manifesting itself through diarrhoea with blood, mucous and pus. It progresses with periods of relapses and remissions. The treatment is a long-term process which should aim at improving the patient’s clinical condition and quality of life, as well as minimising the disease-related anxiety and fears. Objective. The aim of the study was recognition of the determinants of the level of anxiety and fears in a group of patients with ulcerative colitis. Materials and method. The prospective study comprised 102 patients with diagnosed ulcerative colitis. The data were collected by means of the following tools: Clinical Disease Activity Index, Rating Form of IBD Patients Concerns (RFIPC), and a questionnaire by the authors. Statistical parametric and non-parametric tests were used to analyse the data, depending on the type of scale and nature of the variable distribution. Results. Most of the patients (64%) were in the active phase of the disease. A high level of fear and anxiety occurred in 73% of the patients and concerned the impact of the disease, intimate life, complications and stigmatisation. The highest levels of fears and anxiety were observed in the field of complications and the impact of the disease on the patients’ lives. Conclusions. The disease activity and high levels of anxiety and fears influenced the psychosocial functioning of the patients with ulcerative colitis.

Opis:: Introduction and objectives. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is long life disease that results from an interaction between a polygenetic predisposition and environmental factors, including smoking. The aim of this study was to evaluate beliefs about and awareness of smoking among adolescents with IBD compared to healthy controls. Materials and method. Patients with IBD, Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and healthy controls were asked to complete a questionnaire on demographic data and smoking status. The questionnaire also included data on beliefs and awareness of smoking-related health effects, including effects on IBD. Results. A total of 139 IBD patients and 108 controls were enrolled in the study. Of the IBD patients, 17/139 (12.2%) were smokers compared to 18/108 (16.7%) of controls (p=0.3). Patients with IBD were nine times more likely to be everyday smokers than occasional smokers (OR=9.2, 95% CI: 1.9- 45.1, p=0.004). No difference was found between patients with CD and UC in their answers to the question of whether “smoking increases the risk for surgery in your type of IBD” (17/28 (60.7%) vs. 10/29 (34.5%), respectively (p=0.047). More patients with CD than UC were aware of the risks of smoking on their disease: extra-intestinal manifestations and disease exacerbation, OR=11.3 (95% CI: 4.1 – 30.9; p=0.000) and OR=19.3 (95% CI: 6.7 – 55.1; p=0.000), respectively. Conclusions. The data obtained demonstrated that adolescents with CD are much more aware of the role of smoking on CD than are their peers with UC; however, this awareness is still unsatisfactory. Therefore, there is an unmet need to implement better anti-smoking strategies for this group of patients.
