“…In the present study, the population analyzed showed four times the number of women when compared to men. The same peculiarity was described in the study by [11], who obtained similar results regarding the proportion of female individuals in their research, being three times higher when compared to the number of male individuals. Other studies [5,7,[12][13][14] also reported a greater participation of women in the analysis (> 50%).…”

Introduction: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is an Infl ammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) that can be divided into two periods: active and remission. Individuals affected by this pathology can manifest symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as low quality of life, due to the symptomatology of this disease when active. Objective: Demonstrate the relationship between anxiety and depression with UC and its infl uence on quality of life. Material and methods: The present study involved 97 individuals affected with UC, who were assessed through the application of the HADS and IBDQ on the social network Facebook, as well as their individual feeds. The survey began after approval by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Fronteira Sul, upon obtaining informed consent from the patients. Results: The majority of the assisted participants was female, white, married, and residents of southwest Brazil. A prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and depression was observed in individuals with low quality of life and status of disease activity. Discussion: The results show that individuals who exhibited an active disease status presented a lower quality of life, anxiety, and depression.

“…Monitoring by a qualified multidisciplinary team is associated with an improvement in the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases, such as those observed in Parkinson's disease patients with inflammatory bowel disease. 13,14 Thus, considering the contributions made by the multiprofessional team itself, the results point to an increase or maintenance of the quality of life in transplanted patients, when comparing the initial, and intermediate post-transplant periods.…”

Background: Liver transplantation is a procedure used worldwide; however, after a surgery many changes are necessary for this outcome; therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the quality of life of liver transplant patients in the recent, and intermediate post-operative periods. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach conducted in the Liver Transplant Outpatient Service of the Walter Cantidio University Hospital (Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio, HUWC) belonging to the Federal University of Ceará (Universidade Federal do Ceará, UFC). Data collection was carried out between July 2019 and August 2021. A total of 30 patients met the study inclusion criteria and were therefore characterised regarding gender, age, marital status, family income, origin, and reason for the transplant. The quality of life results were obtained through the Liver Disease Quality of Life (LDQOL) questionnaire. The Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) programme was used to store and analyse the data. Results: There was predominance of the male gender (n=20; 66.7%). The predominant age group was from 50 to 59 years old (n=9; 30%), and most of the interviewees were married (n=15; 50%). The most frequent family income was between 2 and 4 minimum wages (11; 36.6%), and most of the patients were from the Northeast region (n=21; 70%). In turn, regarding the cause of the liver disease, alcohol abuse was the reason for the transplants in a total of 9 (30%) patients. The quality of life analysis through LDQOL showed an increase in the scores from the recent post-transplant period to the intermediate post-transplant period, with significant scores (p<0.05) for the following domains: symptoms, effects of the liver disease, social issues, concern about the disease, sexual function, sleep, and isolation. Conclusion: There was a significant and positive difference in quality of life in the intermediate post-transplant period when compared to the initial phase of the transplant, with liver transplant considered as the best definitive treatment option for chronic, and irreversible liver diseases.

“…2 The incidence and prevalence of IBD have been increasing in developed countries, affecting more and more young people of working age and having a major impact, positive or negative, on their quality of life, related to physical, social and emotional aspects . 3 Since many patients are diagnosed with IBD at a young age, coping with the disease is based on the acceptance of a lifetime of challenges and lifestyle changes, which can negatively impact physical, psychological, and social aspects. These negative impacts are directly related to the high rates of patients diagnosed with CD or UC who have or are more likely to have disorders such as anxiety and depression.…”

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a continuous total or partial inflammation of the digestive tract, with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis being the most common forms of presentation. The most frequent signs and symptoms consist of abdominal pain, fatigue, bloody stools, diarrhea, weight loss, and vomiting, and there may be extra-intestinal manifestations. In developed countries, an increased incidence of IBD has been observed, particularly in young people of working age, impacting their quality of life as well as physical, social and psychological aspects. This is because once diagnosed with IBD, individuals encounter coping challenges, difficulties in acceptance, and lifestyle changes. Therefore, we sought to analyze the social impacts and quality of life of patients diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. A literature review was conducted in PubMed, SciELO, BVS and LILACS databases, 20 articles met the established criteria, of which 10 were selected to compose the study. Articles published between 2016 and 2021 and relevant to the topic were included, and those that did not meet the inclusion criteria or did not comprise primary data, and were duplicates were excluded. The analyzed studies showed that there was a reduction in quality of life in patients with IBD, presenting as main factors associated with this restriction the disease activity, socioeconomic factors, and the patient's age. It was denoted that this negative aspect causes limitations, mainly in the biopsychosocial performance of patients with this condition. Therefore, it is noteworthy that biopsychosocial impacts result from the manifestation of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which demonstrates the need for a qualified and humanized multidisciplinary follow-up during the evolution of these patients.
