Description
Piergiorgio Martella's team examined whether confidence in self-care links drug-taking to daily self-management in inflammatory bowel disease, in a 2026 multicentre study. Sticking to treatment is central to staying in remission, yet drug-taking remains stubbornly low and self-care demands are heavy. The team surveyed 452 patients across nine Italian outpatient units with validated scales for drug-taking, self-belief, and self-care.
Only about one in ten patients reported high drug-taking, and self-care monitoring and management lagged behind maintenance. Drug-taking tracked with better self-care maintenance, and statistical mediation showed confidence partly explained that link. The authors suggest routine checks of drug-taking and confidence, plus counselling and digital tools that build self-belief, to strengthen everyday disease management.
