The Effect of Patient Education on Fatigue and Quality of Life in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

"In the intervention group, patients will undergo a single, personalized education session led by the researcher, lasting 30 to 60 minutes. Identified knowledge gaps will be addressed through focused education, followed by interactive question-and-answer sessions covering fatigue, diarrhea/constipation, abdominal pain, mental health, nutrition, exercise, and sleep.~Follow-up calls will be conducted in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd weeks post-education to monitor patient progress. Each call will assess general health status, symptom severity, and changes in bowel habits. Patients will be encouraged to review educational materials and ask questions, with appointment reminders provided during the 3rd week. These calls will each last approximately 10-15 minutes.~One month later, follow-up interviews will evaluate the education's impact using updated data collection tools, ensuring a thorough assessment of its effect on patient outcomes."
